Acinetobacter baumannii Genome sequencing and assembly. Acinetobacter baumannii

Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative coccobacilli that can cause human a broad range of infections in nosocomial environment. The bacteria also show a stronger ability of antimicrobial resistance to many antibiotics. In our study, we isolated a strain of A. baumannii that was termed as CYZ from the sputum of an immunocompromised patient with pneumonia. In order to investigate the characteristics of the antimicrobial resistance genes, we performed the whole genome sequencing via PacBio. We hope to compare and analyze the genomic distinctions between CYZ and other clinically isolated A. baumannii stains, and contribute to enrich the gene bank of the genome of A. baumannii.
