Draft Genome Sequence of an Extensively Drug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Indigo-Pigmented Strain
نویسندگان
چکیده
Last year in 2013, we reported an outbreak due to indigo-pigmented Acinetobacter baumannii strains in a hospital from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of one of the strains (A. baumannii A33405) involved in the outbreak. This isolate was categorized as extensively drug-resistant (XDR) and harbors different genetic elements associated with horizontal genetic transfer and multiple antibiotic resistances.

We report the draft genome sequence of an extensively drug-resistant strain of Acinetobacter baumannii, CUAB1, isolated from a patient in a local Hong Kong hospital. MIC testing was performed, and genes previously associated with drug resistance were located.
متن کاملOutbreak of extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii indigo-pigmented strains.
Acinetobacter baumannii pigmented strains are not common in clinical settings. Here, we report an outbreak caused by indigo-pigmented A. baumannii strains isolated in an acute care hospital in Argentina from March to September 2012. Pan-PCR assays exposed a unique pattern belonging to the recently described regional CC113(B)/CC79(P) clonal complex that confirms the relevant relationships among ...

Acinetobacter baumannii is a pathogen that is becoming increasingly important and causes serious hospital-acquired infections. We sequenced the genome of A. baumannii NCTC 13423, a multidrug-resistant strain belonging to the international clone II group, isolated from a human infection in the United Kingdom in 2003. The 3,937,944 bp draft genome has a GC-content of 39.0 % and a total of 3672 pr...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of Acinetobacter baumannii Strain 10441_14 Belonging to ST451, Isolated from India
Acinetobacter baumannii resistance to carbapenems is of global concern. Here, we report the 3.9 Mb draft genome of a cerebrospinal fluid isolate of A. baumannii strain 10441_14 which is carbapenem resistant and belongs to ST451. This genome will further help in the understanding of the drug resistance mechanism, epidemiology, and pathology of this bacterium.

Acinetobacter baumannii strain Ab5 was isolated in the year 2007 in Chile, being one of the first multidrug-resistant (MDR) cases reported in the country. Here, we present the very first draft genome sequence of an MDR Chilean strain, which shows the presence of diverse resistance and acquired virulence genes.
