Abstract
Open AccessCarbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is recognized by the World Health Organization as a major threat to global health. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of four New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing K. pneumoniae strains as part of an environmental surveillance of gram-negative bacteria isolated from various Lebanese environmental sources in 2023.
