Extended Spectrum- and Carbapenemase-Based β-Lactam Resistance in the Arabian Peninsula-A Descriptive Review of Recent Years.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global problem that also includes countries of the Arabian Peninsula. Of particular concern, is the continuing development of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) in the countries of this region. Additionally, antibiotic treatment options for ESBL-producing bacteria are becoming limited, primarily due to the continuing development of carbapenem resistance (CR), carbapenems being frequently used to treat such infections.

Survival and reduction in foodborne bacteria using methyl cellulose film doped with europium oxide nanoparticles.

The study validated the efficacy of methyl cellulose films doped with different concentration of EuO nanoparticles to inactivate foodborne pathogens. EuO nanoparticles were added to the methyl cellulose solution with different weight percentages (0.0, 0.
