Abstract:
The strain Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC BAA-1790 was sequenced as a
model for nosocomial multidrug-resistant infections. Long-read PacBio sequencing
revealed a circular chromosome of 3,963,235 bp with two horizontally transferred
genomic islands and a 67,023-bp plasmid. Multiple antibiotic resistance genes and
genome methylation patterns were identified.
