Genomic insights of predominant international high-risk clone ST2 Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in Saudi Arabia

Abstract excerpt

• High-risk ST2 clone constitutes 81.2% of CRAB isolates in the Jazan region, KSA. • Carbapenemase genes bla OXA-23 and bla NDM were identified in 60% and 12.3% respectively. • Ongoing surveillance of less common clones (ST85 and ST107) is crucial for managing public health risks. Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), particularly the globally prevalent ST2 clone, poses significant threats in the...
