Draft Genome Sequence of an Extremely Drug-Resistant KPC-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae ST258 Epidemic Strain

Extremely drug-resistant (XDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing clone ST258 has rapidly disseminated worldwide. We report here the draft genome sequence of the K. pneumoniae ST258 XDR clinical strain from Israel.
