Draft genome sequence of Acinetobacter pittii ST643 shared by cystic fibrosis patients

Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz. 2016 Sep;111(9):592-3. doi: 10.1590/0074-02760160142.

Abstract

Acinetobacter pittii has emerged as an important hospital pathogen that is associated with outbreaks and drug resistance. In cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, the detection of Acinetobacter spp. is rare; however, we isolated the A. pittii sequence type ST643 in several Brazilian CF patients treated in the same centre. The current study describes the draft genome of A. pittii ST643.
