Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a significant nosocomial pathogen worldwide. The increasing trend of carbapenem and fluoroquinolone resistance inA. baumannii severely limits the usage of therapeutic antimicrobial agents. Here we report the genome sequence of a multidrug-resistantA. baumannii strain, TCDC-AB0715, harboring bothbla OXA-23 andbla OXA-66 .
