Genome diversity of domesticated Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 19606^T strains.

ABSTRACT: Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen worldwide, being responsible for large outbreaks for nosocomial infections, primarily in intensive care units. A. baumannii ATCC 19606^T is the species type strain, and a reference organism in many laboratories due to its low virulence, amenability to genetic manipulation and extensive antibiotic susceptibility. We wondered if frequent propagation of A. baumannii ATCC 19606^T in different laboratories may have driven micro- and macro-evolutionary events that could determine inter-laboratory differences of genome-based data. By combining Illumina MiSeq, MinION and Sanger technologies, we generated a high-quality whole-genome sequence of A. baumannii ATCC 19606^T
