## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of an Acinetobacter calcoaceticus strain from Canadian soil, including its antibiotic resistance features.

## Contribution

The study provides a new genome sequence and identifies specific antibiotic resistance genes in an environmental Acinetobacter isolate.

## Key findings

- The genome of AC001_UM is 3,916,544 nucleotides long with a GC content of 38.7%.
- The isolate contains a class D β-lactamase and three efflux pump families associated with antibiotic resistance.

## Abstract

We report the whole-genome sequence and antibiotic-resistance gene profile of an Acinetobacter calcoaceticus isolate, designated AC001_UM, taken from soil along the Red River in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The genome comprised 3,916,544 nucleotides (GC content: 38.7%). Antibiotic-resistance gene analysis revealed a class D β-lactamase and three efflux pump families.
