Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging opportunistic gram-negative pathogen responsible for hospital-acquired infections. A. baumannii epidemics described in Europe and worldwide were caused by a limited number of genotypic clusters of multidrug-resistant strains. Here we report the availability of draft genome sequences for three multidrug-resistant A. baumannii strains assigned to ST2, ST25 and ST78 multilocus sequencing typing genotypes, that were more frequently isolated during outbreaks occurred in Greece, Italy, Lebanon and Turkey.
