Acinetobacter baumannii  is an opportunistic infectious agent that affects primarily immunocompromised individuals.  A .  baumannii  is highly prevalent in hospital settings being commonly associated with nosocomial transmission and drug resistance. Here, we report the identification and genetic characterization of  A .  baumannii  strains among patients in a tertiary level hospital in Mexico. Whole genome sequencing analysis was performed to establish their genetic relationship and drug resistance mutations profile. Ten genetically different, extensively drug resistant strains were identified circulating among seven wards. The genetic profiles showed resistance primarily against aminoglycosides and beta-lactam antibiotics. Importantly, no mutants conferring resistance to colistin were observed. The results highlight the importance of implementing robust classification schemes for advanced genetic characterization of  A .  baumannii  clinical isolates and simultaneous detection of drug resistance markers for adequate patient’s management in clinical settings.
