Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Characterization of Carbapenemase-Producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in the Countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council: Dominance of OXA-48 and NDM Producers
Hosam M. Zowawi,Hosam M. Zowawi,Anna L. Sartor,Hanan H. Balkhy,Timothy R. Walsh,Sameera M. Al Johani,Reem Aljindan,Mubarak Alfaresi,Emad Ibrahim,Amina Al-Jardani,Seif Al-Abri,Jameela Al Salman,Ali A. Dashti,Abdullah H. Kutbi,Sanmarie Schlebusch,Hanna E. Sidjabat,David L. Paterson +16 more
TL;DR: The molecular epidemiology and mechanisms of resistance of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) were determined in hospitals in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council and have important implications for controlling the spread of CRE in the Middle East and in hospitals accommodating patients transferred from the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Epidemiology of Carbapenem-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates in the Gulf Cooperation Council States: Dominance of OXA-23-Type Producers
Hosam M. Zowawi,Hosam M. Zowawi,Anna L. Sartor,Hanna E. Sidjabat,Hanan H. Balkhy,Timothy R. Walsh,Sameera M. Al Johani,Reem Aljindan,Mubarak Alfaresi,Emad Ibrahim,Amina Al-Jardani,Jameela Al Salman,Ali A. Dashti,Khalid Johani,David L. Paterson +14 more
TL;DR: The molecular epidemiology and mechanisms of resistance of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) were determined in hospitals in the states of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, emphasizing the need for establishing regional active surveillance systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae with High Rate of Autochthonous Transmission in the Arabian Peninsula.
Agnes Sonnevend,Akela Ghazawi,Rayhan Hashmey,Wafaa Jamal,Vincent O. Rotimi,Atef M. Shibl,Amina Al-Jardani,Seif Al-Abri,Waheed U. Z. Tariq,Stefan Weber,Tibor Pál +10 more
TL;DR: The results call for improved surveillance of carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae in the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, predicting that trends in the local epidemiology of carbAPenemresistant strains may increasingly affect the spread of these pathogens on the global scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in selected hospitals of the Gulf Cooperation Council States: dominance of high-risk clones in the region.
Hosam M. Zowawi,Melanie W. Syrmis,Timothy J. Kidd,Timothy J. Kidd,Hanan H. Balkhy,Timothy R. Walsh,Timothy R. Walsh,Sameera M. Al Johani,Sameera M.

TL;DR: Overall the data show that ‘high‐risk’ CRPA clones are now detected in the region and highlight the need for strategies to limit further spread of such organisms, including enhanced surveillance, infection control precautions and further promotion of antibiotic stewardship programmes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of NDM-7 Carbapenemase-Producing Escherichia coli Isolates in the Arabian Peninsula.
Tibor Pál,Akela Ghazawi,Dania Darwish,Laura Villa,Alessandra Carattoli,Rayhan Hashmey,Zulfa O. AlDeesi,Wafaa Jamal,Vincent O. Rotimi,Amina Al-Jardani,Seif Al-Abri,Agnes Sonnevend +11 more
TL;DR: Findings show that IncX3 type plasmids play an important role in the spread of the currently rare NDM-7 variant in the Arabian Peninsula, and this association of blaNDM-7 with the Incx3-type plasmid is particularly worrisome.
