Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging human pathogen causing nosocomial and community-acquired infections. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of the clinical A. baumannii strain R2090 carrying the metallo-β-lactamase gene blaNDM-1 in its chromosome within the transposon Tn125.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii strains appeared as serious emerging nosocomial pathogens in clinical environments and especially in intensive care units (ICUs). A. baumannii strain K50 recovered from a hospitalized patient in Kuwait exhibited resistance to carbapenems, and additionally to ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, sulfonamides, amikacin and gentamicin. Genome...

The whole sequence of plasmid pENVA carrying the extended-spectrum ß-lactamase gene blaCTX-M-15 was determined. It has been identified from a series of clonally-related Klebsiella pneumoniae ST274 strains recovered from companion animals. This plasmid was 253,984-bp in-size and harbored, in addition to blaCTX-M-15, a large array of genes encoding...

The species Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most important multidrug-resistant human pathogens. To determine its virulence and antibiotic resistance determinants, the genome of the nosocomial blaNDM-1-positive A. baumannii strain R2090 originating from Egypt was completely sequenced. Genome analysis revealed that strain R2090 is highly related to the...
