Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of multidrug-resistant strains in Egypt that can cause hidden community-acquired infections.
- Out of 200 Gram-negative isolates, 44 were characterized as resistant strains, with a significant portion found in urine, sputum, and cerebrospinal fluid.
- Findings highlight a high prevalence of carbapenemase production in these strains, alongside genetic variations, underscoring an urgent need for healthcare measures to manage the spread of these resistant pathogens.
