- Yemen is facing the largest cholera outbreak in recent history, which began in September 2016 and has resulted in over 1.1 million cases and 2,300 deaths.
- Researchers analyzed the genomes of 116 Vibrio cholerae samples from the epidemic and found they belong to a specific lineage that originated from South Asia, linked to previous outbreaks in East Africa.
- The study revealed that these Yemeni isolates remain susceptible to various antibiotics, indicating effective treatment options are still available despite the ongoing epidemic.
The aim of this study was to characterize the O25b/ST131 clone in ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates from Yemen. A total of 41 ciprofloxacin-resistant strains were collected from clinical samples of inpatients and outpatients from Sana'a (Yemen) from January to December 2013. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing, polymerase chain reaction amplification, and sequencing were used for detection of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance determinants, extended-spectrum beta-lactamases genes and mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions of the target genes and .
