title: Genome Sequences of Two Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Strains Isolated from Southern India.
abstract: Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging nosocomial pathogen causing infections worldwide. In this study, we determined the genome sequences of two multidrug-resistant A. baumannii clinical strains isolated from a hospital in southern India. Genome analyses indicate that both the strains harbor numerous horizontally transferred genetic elements and antibiotic resistance cassettes.
