Antibiotic resistance and virulence patterns of pathogenic Escherichia coli strains associated with acute gastroenteritis among children in Qatar
( BMC , 2020 , Article)Background: The treatment of Enterobacteriaceae family including diarrheagenic E. coli (DEC) has been increasingly complicated due to the emergence of resistant strains. Here we report on the phenotypic resistance profiles ... -

Association between proton pump inhibitor use and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase urinary tract infection in adults: A retrospective study
( Dove Medical Press Ltd , 2023 , Article)Purpose: To study the association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and the risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL). Patients and Methods: ... -
Draft Genome Sequence of an Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase-Producing Klebsiella oxytoca Strain Bearing from Qatar.
( American Society for Microbiology , 2020 , Article)is an opportunistic human pathogen causing nosocomial infection. We report the draft genome of an extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing isolate harboring an gene, a recently discovered colistin resistance analog, from ... -
Epidemiology of urinary tract infection in adults caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae - a case-control study from Qatar
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Background: Community-acquired urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common infection caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing organisms. Aim: to estimate the prevalence of ESBL-UTI in adults and to ... -
Low-level amikacin resistance induced by AAC(6′)-Ib and AAC(6′)-Ib-cr in extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales isolated from urine in children
( Elsevier , 2021 , Other)Amikacin is commonly used in children in combination with other agents as a last-resort treatment for severe infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Amikacin is also prescribed empirically in febrile ... -
Molecular characterization of extended spectrum β -lactamases enterobacteriaceae causing lower urinary tract infection among pediatric population.
( BioMed Central , 2018 , Article)The β-lactam antibiotics have traditionally been the main treatment of Enterobacteriaceae infections, nonetheless, the emergence of species producing β- Lactamases has rendered this class of antibiotics largely ineffective. ... -
Prevalence of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli isolates from fecal samples of food handlers in Qatar
( BioMed Central , 2018 , Article)Background: It is well documented that food handlers harbor and shed enteric foodborne pathogens causing foodborne disease outbreaks. However, little known on enteric antibiotic resistant (AR) bacteria carriage in ...
