Objective. To determine species, sequence-types, antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes in Achromobacter spp. isolates obtained from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients in Russia.
Materials and Methods. Samples (sputum, nasopharyngeal swab) from 168 CF patients from 48 regions were studied. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on MGISEQ-2000 platform. SPAdes software, Galaxy, ResFinder, Integrall, PubMLST were used for analysis of WGS data.
Results. A total of 18 strains of Achromobacter spp. were isolated from 16 of 168 CF patients.
