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 ... -
Co-presence of human papillomaviruses and Epstein-Barr virus is linked with advanced tumor stage: a tissue microarray study in head and neck cancer patients.
( BMC , 2020 , Article)Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), known oncoviruses, can be co-present and cooperate in the initiation and/or progression of human carcinomas, including head and neck. Based on this fact, we ... -
Epidemiological and genetic characterization of pH1N1 and H3N2 influenza viruses circulated in MENA region during 2009-2017.
( BMC , 2019 , Article)Influenza surveillance is necessary for detection of emerging variants of epidemiologic and clinical significance. This study describes the epidemiology of influenza types A and B, and molecular characteristics of surface ... -
Epidemiology of SARS-CoV2 in Qatar's primary care population aged 10 years and above
( BMC , 2021 , Article)There is an urgent need to elucidate the epidemiology of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) and characterize its potential impact. Investing in characterising the SARS-CoV2 will help plan and ... -
Metabolic profiling of pre-gestational and gestational diabetes mellitus identifies novel predictors of pre-term delivery.
( BMC , 2020 , Article)Pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at increased risks of pre-term labor, hypertension and preeclampsia. In this study, metabolic profiling of blood samples collected ... -
Metabolic signature of obesity-associated insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
( BMC , 2019 , Article)Obesity is associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, some obese individuals maintain their insulin sensitivity and exhibit a lower risk of associated comorbidities. ... -
The prevalence of HEV among non-A-C hepatitis in Qatar and efciency of serological markers for the diagnosis of hepatitis E
( BMC , 2021 , Article)Background: The rapid growth of Qatar in the last two decades has attracted a large influx of immigrant workers who mostly come from HEV-hyperendemic countries. Thus, we aim to investigate the prevalence of HEV among acute ... -
Statistical methods and resources for biomarker discovery using metabolomics.
( BMC , 2023 , Article Review)Metabolomics is a dynamic tool for elucidating biochemical changes in human health and disease. Metabolic profiles provide a close insight into physiological states and are highly volatile to genetic and environmental ...
