ABSTRACT GES-type β-lactamases are a group of enzymes that have evolved their
hydrolytic activity against carbapenems. In this study, the role of residue 174 inside the Ω …

Rapid and precise analysis of Acinetobacter baumannii plays a crucial role in inhibition of
healthcare-associated infectious diseases and development of optimal treatment strategies …

Globally, gram-negative bacteria are a significant cause of morbidity. Multi-drug resistance
bacteria are responsible for an increasing surge in infections that place a high cost on …

Background: Managing wound infections is a challenging task. Understanding their
resistance pattern is an essential step at reducing its burden in hospital settings. Objective …

Acinetobacter baumannii is a highly versatile nosocomial pathogen. Multidrug resistance
among A. baumannii isolates led to the use of colistin, subsequently giving rise to colistin …

Objectives: Outbreak and endemic isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii are known to be
polyclonal. In an ongoing study, we hypothesized that the patient gut was the source of the …

Antimicrobial resistance in Morganella morganii has been mainly acquired via plasmids and
class 1 integrons. We hereby report acquisition of bla GES-5 by a M. morganii isolated in a …

Background. Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is increasingly isolated
in paediatric wards, posing a severe threat to these vulnerable populations. This study …

There is growing concern among healthcare providers worldwide regarding the prevalence
of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii). Some of the worst hospital …

We aimed to identify the prevalence and emerging status of multidrug-resistant bacteria and
fungi and their associated mortality in nine countries in the Arabian Peninsula. Original …
