ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter baumannii has been recognized as a critical priority pathogen by the World Health Organization. We hereby report the identification and the draft genome sequence of a carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii isolated from a patient with community-onset urinary tract infection, in a Chilean Patagonian city.METHODS:
The whole genome was sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq platform and de novo assembled using Unicycler v.0.4. Resistome analysis and epidemiological investigation (based on MLST data and Pasteur scheme) were performed using bioinformatics tools available from the Center for Genomic Epidemiology.RESULTS:
The genome size was calculated at 3890824 bp, with a GC content of 39.1%, comprising 3864 total genes, 30 tRNAs, 3 rRNAs, 4 ncRNAs, and 109 pseudogenes. Carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii Ab3_Ch strain belonged to the international sequence type ST15 (clonal complex, CC15), and harboured the ISAba-1-blaOXA-219 gene array, along to blaTEM-1B and blaADC-6 ß-lactamase genes, and aac(3)-IIa and aph(3')-VIa aminoglycoside resistance genes. Additionally, efflux pump encoding genes (abaF, abaQ, abeS, adeI, adeK, adeL, adeN, adeR, adeS, and amvA) were identified, and mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region of gyrA (Ser81Leu) and parC (Ser84Leu) were considered responsible for fluoroquinolone resistance.CONCLUSION:
This genome sequence data could be used for comparative genomic studies of critical priority A. baumannii strains, as well as to understand the specific features of hospital-associated A. baumannii lineages of international clonal complexes emerging in community settings.Palavras-chave
