Abstract

Acinetobacter pittii 978-A_19 was obtained from a parrot with pneumonia. It is resistant to ampicillin, carbenicillin, cephalosporins, clindamycin, and trimethoprim + sulfamethoxazole. The genome encodes a new blaADC allele, a blaOXA-502 gene, possesses several virulence genes related to adherence and biofilm formation, and has types I, II, and IV secretion systems.

Keywords: beta-lactamase; blaADC; cephalosporin; pneumonia; red-lored parrot.
