Abstract

The 5.2-Mb circular genome of Klebsiella quasipneumoniae subsp. similipneumoniae strain IF3SW-P1, isolated from the International Space Station, was sequenced using Oxford Nanopore Technologies. The genome lacks a megaplasmid typical of hypervirulent and multidrug-resistant Klebsiella strains but does contain a chromosomally encoded OqxAB efflux pump associated with carbapenem resistance.
