## TL;DR

This paper reports the draft genome sequence of an Acinetobacter courvalinii strain from Nigeria, including key gene features.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in providing the first draft genome sequence of an African isolate of Acinetobacter courvalinii.

## Key findings

- The isolate ABJ_C3_5 has a 3.76 Mbp genome with 43.01% GC content.
- The genome encodes 3,620 predicted genes, including antibiotic resistance-related genes like adeB, adeF, ANT(3″)-IIc, and blaOXA-297.

## Abstract

We present the draft genome sequence of an Acinetobacter courvalinii isolate from Africa. The strain ABJ_C3_5 was isolated from a Nigerian soil sample and has a 3.76 Mbp genome with a GC content of 43.01%. The genome encodes 3,620 predicted genes, including adeB, adeF, ANT(3″)-IIc, and blaOXA-297.
