We report the draft genome sequence of a Brazilian clinical isolate
(Bz19) of the recently recognized species Klebsiella variicola. The comparison
of Bz19 genome content with the At-22 (environmental K. variicola) and several
clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae shows that these species share a set of virulence-associated
determinants. Of note, this K. variicola strain harbours a
plasmid-like element that shares the same backbone present in a multidrugresistant
plasmid found in a clinical K. pneumoniae isolated in USA.
