Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing prevalence, molecular characterization and antifungal drug susceptibility of serial Candida auris isolates in Kuwait.
TL;DR: Inability of conventional identification methods to accurately identify this pathogen and multidrug-resistant nature of many strains calls for a greater understanding of its epidemiology, risk factors for acquiring C. auris infection and management strategies in high-risk patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Candida auris: Epidemiology, Diagnosis, Pathogenesis, Antifungal Susceptibility, and Infection Control Measures to Combat the Spread of Infections in Healthcare Facilities
Suhail Ahmad,Wadha Alfouzan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the lessons learned from recent studies on the epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, susceptibility, and molecular basis of resistance to antifungal drugs and infection control measures to combat the spread of C. auris infections in healthcare facilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal and perinatal characteristics and outcomes of pregnancies complicated with COVID-19 in Kuwait.
Amal Ayed,Alia Embaireeg,Asmaa Benawadh,Wadha Alfouzan,Majdeda Hammoud,Monif Al-Hathal,Abeer Alzaydai,Ashraf Ahmad,Mariam Ayed +8 more
TL;DR: Although mother-to-child vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is possible, COVID-19 infection during pregnancy may not lead to unfavorable maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Candida auris in various hospitals across Kuwait and their susceptibility and molecular basis of resistance to antifungal drugs
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the isolation of C auris from patients in various hospitals in Kuwait during 2014-2018 and study the susceptibility to antifungal drugs and molecular basis of resistance to fluconazole, voriconazole and micafungin.
