Key Points

To present the whole-genome sequence of an extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strain.
Isolated from blood of a 6-month-old child in Bamako, Mali.
Conducted whole-genome sequencing and assembly.
Identified Acinetobacter baumannii as the causative agent of nosocomial infections.
Emphasized the strain's extensively drug-resistant characteristics.
Pointed out its critical priority status for antimicrobial resistance surveillance.

Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii is a leading cause of nosocomial infections and ranks first on the World Health Organization's list of critical-priority pathogens for antimicrobial resistance, surveillance, and new drug development. We report the whole-genome assembly of an extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii from the blood of a 6-month-old child in Bamako, Mali.
