SUMMARY β-Lactam antibiotics have been widely used as therapeutic agents for the past
70 years, resulting in emergence of an abundance of β-lactam-inactivating β-lactamases …

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most serious public health issues facing humans since
the discovery of antimicrobial agents. The frequent, prolonged, and uncontrolled use of …

No uniformly organised collection of data regarding antimicrobial resistance has occurred in
the countries of the Arab League. 19 countries of the Arab League have published data for …

Infections due to Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality
worldwide. The extent of antibiotic resistance in GNB in countries of the Gulf Cooperation …

In the last decade, extended-spectrum cephalosporin and carbapenem resistant Gram-

This study was designed to investigate the prevalence of metallo‐β‐lactamases (MBL) and
extended‐spectrum β‐lactamases (ESBL) in P. aeruginosa isolates collected from two …

Background ESBL-and carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa are prevalent
in, for example, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Latin America, though rarer elsewhere …

We characterized the molecular basis of carbapenemase production in carbapenem-
resistant Gram-negative bacteria isolated from hospitalized patients from Saudi Arabia in the …

Carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa has become a major clinical problem due to limited
