# Genome sequence of an Acinetobacter pittii strain isolated from a monk parakeet with pneumonia

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of an Acinetobacter pittii strain from a monk parakeet with pneumonia and highlights its antibiotic resistance and specific genetic features.

## Contribution

The study provides a detailed genome analysis of an Acinetobacter pittii strain isolated from a bird with pneumonia, revealing resistance and virulence-related genes.

## Key findings

- The strain is resistant to multiple antibiotics including cefoxitin, ampicillin, and clindamycin.
- The genome contains resistance genes blaADC-13, ANT(3″)-IIa, and blaOXA-213-like.
- Genes for acinetobactin synthesis and type II and VI secretion systems are present.

## Abstract

Acinetobacter pittii 624-B was obtained from a parakeet with pneumonia. It is resistant to cefoxitin, cephalothin, cephalexin, ampicillin, clindamycin, cefuroxime, and cefovencin. The genome has a blaADC-13 gene, an ANT(3″)-IIa gene, and a blaOXA-213-like gene. It also contains the genes for acinetobactin synthesis and for type II and VI secretion systems.
