Abstract
Here, we report a novel sequence type, 3559, from four genomes of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from South African hospital wastewater, influent wastewater, river water, and riverbed sediment. The genome annotation indicated a wide variety of resistance genes, including blaKPC-2, and virulence factors revealing their possible pathogenicity.
