Antibiotic Resistance Profile of Commensal Escherichia coli Isolated from Broiler Chickens in Qatar.
( International Association for Food Protection , 2018 , Article)Antibiotic resistance (AR) is a growing public health concern worldwide, and it is a top health challenge in the 21st century. AR among Enterobacteriaceae is rapidly increasing, especially in third-generation cephalosporins ... -
Antimicrobial Resistance of Commensal Escherichia coli Isolated from Food Animals in Qatar
( Mary Ann Liebert , 2020 , Article)This study aims at evaluating the phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns of 18 clinically relevant antibiotics in food animals in Qatar. Fecal samples from camels, cattle, and pigeons (300) were ... -
Comparing Quantitative and Qualitative Methods for Detecting the In Vitro Activity of Colistin against Different Gram-Negative Bacilli
( Austin Publishing Group , 2021 , Article)The surge in the prevalence of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections with limited treatment led to colistin reusing to treat MDR infections. This study aimed to determine economical, simple, and ... -
Comparison of Available Methods for Investigating The in vitro Activity of Colistin Against Different Gram-Negative Bacilli
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Background: The surge in the prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections with limited treatment options and the decrease in the development of new antibiotics are challenges that lead to the ... -
Genomic characterization of plasmid-borne colistin resistance variants, mcr-1.1 and mcr-1.26, in multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli isolated from backyard farm animals
( Elsevier , 2024 , Other)Colistin remains a high-priority, critically important antimicrobial that is used for treating severe infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria. However, colistin resistance and the emergence ... -
The role of antibiotic resistance mobile genetic element MCR-1 in enhancing bacterial survival in macrophages
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2022 , Article)Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants such as mobile colistin resistance (MCR-1) that encodes colistin resistance are increasingly spreading in healthcare-associated and community-acquired infections. 1 ...
