Molecular Screening of Carbapenem-Resistant (CRKP) Clinical Isolates for Concomitant Occurrence of Genes (CTX-M, TEM, and SHV) in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

The emergence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing , including CRKP infections, has resulted in significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. We aimed to explore the presence of genes (CTX-M, TEM, and SHV) in CRKP isolates. A total of 24 CRKP isolates were randomly selected from the Salmaniya Medical Complex Microbiology Laboratory.

Clinical carbapenem-resistant isolates simultaneously harboring , types and qnrS genes from the Kingdom of Bahrain: Resistance profile and genetic environment.

The prevalence of Carbapenem-resistant (CRKP) is currently increasing worldwide, prompting WHO to classify it as an urgent public health threat. CRKP is considered a difficult to treat organism owing to limited therapeutic options. In this study, a total of 24 CRKP clinical isolates were randomly collected from Salmaniya Medical Complex, Bahrain.

Perception of online and face to face microbiology laboratory sessions among medical students and faculty at Arabian Gulf University: a mixed method study.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all spheres of society including medical education and healthcare systems. In response to the pandemic, there has been a transition in medical education practice from traditional forms of teaching to online instruction delivery and virtual learning. Effective clinical microbiology education involves a combination of 'hands-on' practical learning and instructional delivery of scientific knowledge.

Evaluation of Curricular Adaptations Using Digital Transformation in a Medical School in Arabian Gulf during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Background: Several institutions adopted innovative approaches to ensure continued learning for their students during the COVID-19 pandemic. All curricular innovations should undergo curriculum evaluation; hence, the objective of this paper was to share the salient features of evaluation using faculty and student's feedback on curricular adaptations implemented through digital transformation in a Medical School in Arabian Gulf during the COVID-19 pandemic, using a structured questionnaire.

Methodology: After getting informed consent, feedback about acceptability and limitations regarding various aspects of curricular adaptations was obtained from students and faculty, using a structured and validated questionnaire.

Evaluating the Reliability and Validity of the Maastricht Clinical Teaching Questionnaire in Bahrain.

Objectives: The Maastricht Clinical Teaching Questionnaire (MCTQ) was developed to evaluate clinical teachers' supervisory skills during undergraduate clinical rotations. Evidence exists supporting the reliability and validity of this questionnaire. Our study sought to examine the reliability and validity of the MCTQ in a Middle Eastern context.
