Draft genomes of multidrug-resistant <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> isolates from an agriculturally-dominated watershed and dairy cattle feces
<i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> is an opportunistic human pathogen that primarily affects individuals with compromised immune systems. Here, we report the draft genomes of six <i>A. baumannii</i> 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.
