Genomic insights of predominant international high-risk clone ST2 Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in Saudi Arabia
The study indicates a significant rise in the ST2 clone in the Arabian Gulf, particularly in Saudi Arabia, and underscores the need for ongoing surveillance of less common clones such as ST85 and ST107 to manage public health risks effectively.
