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.

Abstract
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.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
