Molecular Basis of Antimicrobial Resistance in Group B Clinical Isolates from Saudi Arabia.

Published data on the molecular mechanisms underlying antimicrobial resistance in Group B (GBS) isolates from Saudi Arabia are lacking. Here, we aimed to determine the genetic basis of resistance to relevant antibiotics in a collection of GBS clinical isolates (n = 204) recovered from colonized adults or infected patients and expressing serotypes Ia, Ib, II, III, V, and VI. Initial susceptibility testing revealed resistance to tetracycline (76.

Genomic insights into the diversity, virulence, and antimicrobial resistance of group B clinical isolates from Saudi Arabia.

Introduction: Detailed assessment of the population structure of group B (GBS) among adults is still lacking in Saudi Arabia. Here we characterized a representative collection of isolates from colonized and infected adults.

Methods: GBS isolates (n=89) were sequenced by Illumina and screened for virulence and antimicrobial resistance determinants.

Molecular typing and antimicrobial resistance of group B Streptococcus clinical isolates in Saudi Arabia.

Objectives: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) has emerged as an important cause of severe infections in adults. However, limited data are available regarding the epidemiology of GBS in Saudi Arabia.

Methods: Isolates were collected over a period of eight months from colonized (n = 104) and infected adults (n = 95).

Antimicrobial resistance trends of non-fermenter Gram negative bacteria in Saudi Arabia: A six-year national study.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of non-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria (NFGNB) is increasingly recognized as urgent healthcare threat. Trend data on AMR of NFGNB in Saudi Arabia are either old or limited. The objective was to estimate the prevalence and resistance trends of isolated NFGNB in Saudi Arabia.

Trends in antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

To describe and interpret local antibiograms from a single tertiary care center to monitor the trends of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns and establish baseline data for further surveillance. Methods: We performed a retrospective descriptive review of antibiograms data between January 2010 and December 2015 from King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Results: A total of 51,491 isolates were identified, and most were gram-negative (76.

Prevalence of Intestinal Parasitic Infections among Patients of King Fahd Medical City in Riyadh Region, Saudi Arabia: A 5-Year Retrospective Study.

This study is a retrospective analysis of the recorded intestinal parasitic infections for in- and outpatients visiting King Fahd Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from 2013 to 2017. In this study, a total of 5987 in- and outpatient were examined for intestinal parasitic infection. 30 patients out of 5987 were infected with 6 species of intestinal parasites with prevalence rate 0.
