Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq), and Fundação de Amparo àPesquisa de Minas Gerais (FAPEMIG) for providing financial support. TC and NS were supported by CAPES grant numbers 88881.0680 0 0/2014-01 and 88887.091518/2014-00 , re- spectively. Currently, TC and NS are supported by CNPq grant number 433859/2018-0 and CAPES grant number 8887.508856/2020-00 , respectivelyThe genus Klebsiella comprises species that cause nosoco- mial and community-acquired infections. A dataset was cre- ated to compile the sequence type (ST) and capsule type (K-locus) information predicted for 172 worldwide isolates of Klebsiella spp. whose complete genomes could be retrieved from the GenBank (NCBI) repository. The dataset also in- cludes information related to one multidrug-resistant strain (B31) isolated from a patient who was admitted to an inten- sive care unit in the Northeast region of Brazil. This strain was phenotypically characterized and submitted to whole- genome sequencing and comparative genomics analysis as we recently reported [1] . The dataset also compiles informa- tion on Pathogenicity Islands (PIs), Resistance Islands (RIs) and Miscellaneous Islands (MIS) present in the genome of strain B31. The information provided here may support out- break prevention policies and future epidemiological studies involving Klebsiella spp.
