Abstract
ABSTRACT
Acinetobacter baumannii
is a Gram-negative bacterium capable of causing hospital-acquired infections that has been grouped with
Enterococcus faecium
,
Staphylococcus aureus
,
Klebsiella pneumoniae
,
Acinetobacter baumannii
,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
, and
Enterobacter
species as ESKAPE pathogens because of their extensive drug resistance phenotypes and increasing risk to human health. Twenty-four multidrug-resistant
A. baumannii
strains isolated from wounded military personnel were sequenced and annotated.
