Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infection is a rising public health threat due to limited therapeutic options. Here, we report the genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae sequence type 231 (ST231) strain associated with an outbreak of infections in an intensive care unit that carries a unique complement of resistance determinants.
