Fig. 2

The phylogenetic tree and distribution of STs, KL types, OCL types, plasmids and ARGs among 62 A. baumannii isolates. On the left half, a phylogenetic tree was generated using IQ-TREE v2.2.2 software and midpoint-rooted for improved visualization using Figtree v1.4.4. Isolates are color-coded according to their STs, capsular polysaccharide (KL) types, and lipooligosaccharides outer core loci (OCL). Fifty-two ST2 and one ST1108 isolates were clustered into two monophyletic clades, referred to as Clade1 and Clade2. On the right, four frames provide information about plasmid carriage and distribution of Antibiotic Resistance Genes (ARGs). Frame1 indicates the distribution of plasmids; Frame 2 highlights ARGs found only on plasmid contigs; Frame 3 focuses on ARGs present on both plasmid and chromosome contigs; Frame 4 shows ARGs exclusive to chromosome contigs, the light blue squares represent the absence of plasmid or ARGs, dark blue and purple squares represent one and two plasmids or ARGs, respectively
