Abstract
Here, we report a complete genome sequence for Acinetobacter baumannii strain ATCC 17961, with plasmid sequences, and a high-quality (>98% complete) build for A. baumannii strain AB09-003. These genome sequences were generated by combining short-read Illumina and long-read Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencing data using the Unicycler hybrid assembly pipeline.
Highlights
Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative, opportunistic bacterial pathogen that primarily causes infections in health care settings (1)
Collapsed into a single contig that was removed from the final assembly for each strain
For A. baumannii strain ATCC 17961, these procedures resulted in a fully resolved genome sequence consisting of a single circular chromosome of 4,016,386 bp and two plasmids, pAB17961-1 (9,395 bp) and pAB17961-2 (6,667 bp)
