Whole-genome sequencing of three Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates in China identified multiple drug resistance genes
The multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging threat in hospital acquired infections with increased morbidity and mortality. The genome sequences of three A. baumannii clinical isolates (BJAB0715, BJAB0868 and BJAB07104) from Bejing, which were resistant to multiple antibiotics, were sequenced and compared with 10 other A. baumannii strains. All three strains have a genome of about 4M basepairs (bps) encoding about 3800 proteins and contain a drug-resistant blaOXA-23 gene.
