Draft genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase NDM-1-producing Acinetobacter pittii sequence type 207 isolate from China.

Abstract The increasing emergence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. worldwide has resulted in the limited availability of effective antimicrobial agents and has become a major public health concern. In this study, the draft genome sequence of Acinetobacter pittii TCM292 belonging to sequence type 207 (ST207), a multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolate harbouring the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase bla NDM-1 gene, was determined using an Illumina HiSeq™ 2000 platform. The genome sequence was analysed by bioinformatics methods. The A. pittii TCM292 genome size was estimated to be 3 791 758 bp with 3486 predicted coding regions. These data might facilitate further understanding of the specific genomic features of MDR A. pittii in China.
