Genomic insights and molecular epidemiology through whole genome sequencing in clinical Serratia marcescens ST-367 isolated from the Kingdom of Bahrain
To our knowledge, this is the first report of S. marcescens ST-367 in the Gulf Cooperation Council. The genetic diversity and mechanisms of virulence and antibiotic resistance in this isolate shed light on the evolution of high-risk isolates. Additionally, this will serve as a foundation for future extensively drug-resistant isolates.
