# Draft genomes of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from an agriculturally-dominated watershed and dairy cattle feces

## TL;DR

This paper presents draft genomes of six Acinetobacter baumannii strains from agricultural sources, revealing antibiotic resistance and virulence genes.

## Contribution

The study provides new genomic insights into A. baumannii strains from non-clinical agricultural environments.

## Key findings

- The genomes contain diverse antibiotic resistance genes.
- Virulence-associated genes were identified in the isolates.
- Strains were isolated from dairy cattle feces and agricultural surface waters.

## Abstract

Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic human pathogen that primarily affects individuals with compromised immune systems. Here, we report the draft genomes of six A. baumannii strains isolated from animal fecal sources and mixed-use but primarily agricultural surface waters. These genomes contain a diverse array of antibiotic resistance and virulence-associated genes.
