Prevalence and phenotypic characterization of carbapenem resistance in multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria across selected healthcare facilities in the United Arab Emirates: a retrospective study.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Carbapenems are essential antibiotics used to treat severe nosocomial infections. However, the misuse of these antibiotics has led to the emergence of carbapenem-resistant organisms (CROs), posing significant public health threats. This study aims to determine the prevalence and phenotypic profile of carbapenem resistance (CR) in multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MDR-GNB) in selected...
