Article Synopsis
- Carbapenems are critical antibiotics for treating multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, and this study focused on analyzing the plasmid content and resistance genes of these bacteria in Lebanon from 2016 to 2019.
- The research involved examining 65 clinical samples of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae using plasmid typing and whole-genome sequencing, identifying various resistance genes and plasmid incompatibility groups.
- The findings highlighted the prevalence of specific carbapenemases like NDM variants and OXA-48, emphasizing the importance of monitoring these resistance determinants in healthcare environments to prevent their spread.
Background: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is the most prevalent peripheral nerve entrapment disease. Its pathophysiology is multifactorial and defined as idiopathic in most cases. We present a rare case of CTS secondary to tumoral calcinosis and then searched the English literature to present the details of all published cases with this entity.
