Draft genome sequence of KLEB-33: a convergent biofilm hyperforming multiresistant strain belonging to the emerging ST16 lineage harboring multiple hypervirulence genes.

The emergence of convergent strains showing multiresistance, characteristic of nosocomial pathotypes and hypervirulent traits typical of community-acquired isolates, makes them important models for studying pathogenesis. Here, we describe the convergent, multidrug-resistant KLEB-33 strain harboring several hypervirulence genes and make its genome available to the scientific community.
