In Brazil, A. baumannii has been described as nosocomial pathogens causing hospital-acquired infections. Current WGS technologies have been useful in identifying of genetic features between Acinetobacter isolates. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of OXA-23 producing A. baumannii CCBH15815 clinical isolate, belonging to ST730/ST783, recovered from a 21-year-old hospitalised patient. We observed important resistance determinant genes, especially beta-lactamases-encoding genes, in an estimated genome size of 4,058,633 bp with 3839 predicted coding regions.
