Complete Genome Sequence of an Acinetobacter Strain Harboring the NDM-1 Gene

Genome Announc. 2013 Apr 18;1(2):e0002312. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00023-12.

Abstract

The NDM-1 gene is a significant public health concern. Acinetobacter is one of the most prevalent opportunistic pathogens causing recent nosocomial infections with NDM-1, and drug-resistant strains pose serious threats to public health worldwide. Herein, we present the genomic sequence of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus subsp. anitratus XM1570, a multidrug-resistant isolate that carries the blaNDM-1 gene.
