Whole-Genome Sequences of Two Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Strains Isolated from Patients with Urinary Tract Infection in Ghana

Abstract

Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is a major nosocomial pathogen. We describe the whole-genome sequences of two multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated from hospitalized patients in the intensive care unit at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Ghana. The isolates carry multiple resistance genes, including those for β-lactams, sulfonamides, aminoglycosides, and tetracycline.
