Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging opportunistic gram-negative pathogen responsible for hospital-acquired infections. A. baumannii epidemics described in Europe and worldwide were caused by a limited number of genotypic clusters of multidrug-resistant strains. Here, we report the availability of draft genome sequences for three multidrug-resistant A. baumannii strains assigned to multilocus sequence typing genotypes ST2, ST25, and ST78 that were more frequently isolated during outbreaks occurred in Greece, Italy, Lebanon, and Turkey.
鲍曼不动杆菌是一种新兴的机会性革兰氏阴性病原体,可导致医院获得性感染。在欧洲和全球范围内描述的鲍曼不动杆菌流行是由少数耐药性基因簇的多药耐药菌株引起的。在这里,我们报告了三种多药耐药鲍曼不动杆菌菌株的基因组草图序列,这些菌株被分配给多位点序列分型基因型 ST2、ST25 和 ST78,它们在希腊、意大利、黎巴嫩和土耳其发生的暴发中更频繁地被分离出来。
