# Draft genome of Acinetobacter baumannii strain niger01 co-producing blaNDM-1 and blaOXA-23 genes in Niger

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome of an Acinetobacter baumannii strain from Niger that carries multiple antibiotic resistance genes.

## Contribution

The study provides the first draft genome of an A. baumannii strain co-producing blaNDM-1 and blaOXA-23 in Niger.

## Key findings

- The genome of strain niger01 is 4,084,803 bp with 39.0% GC content.
- It contains several insertion sequences and multiple antibiotic resistance genes.
- The strain represents a new high-risk clone with public health implications.

## Abstract

This study reports the draft genome of an Acinetobacter baumannii strain niger01 co-producing blaNDM-1, blaOXA-23, and blaOXA-69 genes. The genome size is 4,084,803 bp, 39.0% GC content, and harbors several insertion sequences. The emergence of new high-risk clones presents an escalating problem that significantly challenges the public health system.
