Abstract

Here, we announce the draft genome sequence of Acinetobacter baumannii strain 161514, which was recovered from a horse with conjunctivitis, and determine the genetic basis of its antimicrobial resistance phenotype. The genome has a size of 3,839,365 bp and a G+C content of 38.93% and is predicted to contain 3,529 coding sequences. The isolate belongs to sequence type 462 (ST462) according to the Oxford scheme (Abaumannii1) and to ST46 according to the Pasteur scheme (Abaumannii2).
