Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii is an important human pathogen usually associated with severe hospital-acquired infections. Here, we announce the draft genome sequences of two livestock-associated isolates recovered from sewage water from a poultry slaughterhouse in Germany. Short-read whole-genome sequencing was conducted to determine the genetic basis of their antimicrobial resistance phenotype.
