Antibiotic Use and Resistance Among Prescribers: Current Status of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice in Egypt.

Introduction: The problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is rising worldwide. One of the most significant factors influencing antimicrobial resistance in low- and middle-income countries is the lack of the skills and knowledge of health care providers for proper antimicrobial use.

Aim: To identify knowledge, characterize practices and describe the attitude of Egyptian prescribers towards antibiotic use.

Prevalence of Aminoglycoside Resistance and Aminoglycoside Modifying Enzymes in Among Intensive Care Unit Patients, Ismailia, Egypt.

Background: is an opportunistic pathogen that rapidly develops antibiotic resistance against commonly prescribed antimicrobial agents in hospitalized patients worldwide. Aminoglycosides are commonly used in the treatment of health care-associated infections (HAIs). Aminoglycosides resistance mechanisms are varied and commonly involve production of aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes (AME) and efflux systems.
