Genome sequences of two multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated from a patient before and after treatment with tigecycline

J Bacteriol. 2012 Dec;194(24):6979-80. doi: 10.1128/JB.01887-12.

Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative bacterium which emerged as a significant nosocomial pathogen worldwide. To investigate the molecular basis of the tigecycline-resistant mechanism, we determined the genome sequences of two multidrug-resistant A. baumannii strains isolated from a patient before and after treatment with tigecycline.
