Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a prevalent multidrug-resistant nosocomial pathogen worldwide. Here we report the draft genome sequence of A. baumannii strain Ab174 isolated from a neonatal patient diagnosed with acute peritonitis. The draft genome sequence of A. baumannii Ab174 was determined using a MiSeq platform (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA) using v.3, 2×30-bp chemistry. Genomic assembly was performed using SPAdes 3.9 algorithm. The draft genome of A. baumannii Ab174 is 3 747 065bp in length and was classified as a new sequence type (ST1688). The genome of A. baumannii Ab174 has a G+C content of 39% and harbours two plasmids. The antimicrobial resistance gene blaADC-25 and the virulence factor gene for penicillin-binding protein G (pbpG) as well as 17 genomic islands and 14 insertion sequences were identified in the genome of A. baumannii Ab174. The genome sequence of A. baumannii strain Ab174 can be used as a reference sequence for the new ST1688. These data will facilitate further understanding of genomic variation in isolates from different geographical regions.
