Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of Acinetobacter baumannii strain MAR002, a biofilm-hyperproducing clinical strain isolated during the study CP/09/0033 (GEIH/REIPI-Ab2010, Spain). The genome of A. baumannii MAR002 has an approximate length of 3,717,929 bp and 3,300 protein-coding sequences, with a C+G content of 39.09%.
