Acinetobacter spp in a Third World Country with Socio-economic and Immigrants Challenges

Dandachi, Iman; Azar, Eid; Hamouch, Ramzi; Maliha, Peter George; Abdallah, Samah; Kanaan, Elie; Badawi, Rebecca; Khairallah, Tamara; Matar, Ghassan; Daoud, Ziad D. (Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2019)

Introduction: In the last decade, Acinetobacter species have taken a major public health concern. This is mainly due the increased resistance to a wide range of antibiotics causing treatment challenges. In view of the ...
An unequivocal superbug: PDR Klebsiella pneumoniae with an arsenal of resistance and virulence factor genes

Sleiman, Ahmad; Awada, Bassel; Mocadie, Michele F.; Sherri, Nour; Haraoui, Louis Patrick; Baby, Vincent; Araj, George F.; Kanj, Souha S.; Rizk, Nesrine A.; Matar, Ghassan; Abou Fayad, Antoine G. (Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2021)

Introduction: Infections caused by extensively-drug resistant (XDR) and pan-drug resistant (PDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae represent an emerging threat due to the high associated mortality. This study aimed to characterize two ...
Diversity of sequence types and impact of fitness cost among carbapenem-resistant acinetobacter baumannii isolates from Tripoli, Libya

Abou Fayad, Antoine G.; Haraoui, Louis Patrick; Sleiman, Ahmad; Jaafar, Mohamad; Zorgani, Abdulaziz; Matar, Ghassan; Higgins, Paul G. (American Society for Microbiology, 2021)

We investigated the molecular epidemiology of 21 carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from Libya and assessed their relative fitness. Core genome multilocus sequence typing (MLST) revealed five interhospital ...
Epidemiology of invasive and non-invasive pneumococcal infections in hospitalised adult patients in a Lebanese medical centre, 2006–2015

Moghnieh, Rima A.; Tamim, Hani Mohammed; Awad, Lyn S.; Abdallah, Dania Issam; Sleiman, Rahil; Jisr, Tamima El; Al-Helou, Mona; Ibrahim, Ahmad O.; Mugharbil, Anas M.; Droubi, Nabila S.; Reslan, Lina; Matar, Ghassan; Dbaibo, Ghassan S. (Elsevier Ltd, 2020)

This is a retrospective medical file review of adult inpatients with Streptococcus pneumoniae infections admitted to a Lebanese hospital between 2006 and 2015. We revisited the clinical scenarios of these infections in ...
Evaluating the efficacies of carbapenem/β-lactamase inhibitors against carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria in vitro and in vivo

El Hafi, Bassam; Rasheed, Sari Shawki; Abou Fayad, Antoine G.; Araj, George F.; Matar, Ghassan (Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are a major clinical concern as they cause virtually untreatable infections since carbapenems are among the last-resort antimicrobial agents. β-Lactamases implicated ...
Heavy Metal Toxicity in Armed Conflicts Potentiates AMR in A. baumannii by Selecting for Antibiotic and Heavy Metal Co-resistance Mechanisms

Bazzi, Wael; Abou Fayad, Antoine G.; Nasser, Aya; Haraoui, Louis Patrick; Dewachi, Omar; Abu-Sittah, Ghassan S.; Nguyen, Vinh Kim; Abara, Aula; Karah, Nabil; Landecker, Hannah L.; Knapp, Charles W.; McEvoy, Megan M.; Zaman, Muhammad Hamid; Higgins, Paul G.; Matar, Ghassan (Frontiers Media S.A., 2020)

Acinetobacter baumannii has become increasingly resistant to leading antimicrobial agents since the 1970s. Increased resistance appears linked to armed conflicts, notably since widespread media stories amplified clinical ...
Increased blaOXA-23-like prevalence in acinetobacter baumannii at a tertiary care center in Lebanon (2007-2013)

Kanj, Souha S.; Tayyar, Ralph; Shehab, Marwa; El Hafi, Bassam; Rasheed, Sari Shawki; Kissoyan, Kohar Annie B.; Kanafani, Zeina A.; Hanna-Wakim, Rima H.; Zahereddine, Nada Kara; Araj, George F.; Dbaibo, Ghassan S.; Matar, Ghassan (Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2018)

Introduction: Acinetobacter baumannii has become one of the most feared organisms in hospital-acquired infections during the past decades. Their multi-drug resistant profiles have rendered many broad-spectrum antibiotics ...
Multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter species: A seven-year experience from a tertiary care center in Lebanon

Kanafani, Zeina A.; Zahreddine, Nada Kara; Tayyar, Ralph; Sfeir, Jad G.; Araj, George F.; Matar, Ghassan; Kanj, Souha S. (BioMed Central Ltd., 2018)

Background: Acinetobacter species have become increasingly common in the intensive care units (ICU) over the past two decades, causing serious infections. At the American University of Beirut Medical Center, the incidence ...
Phenotypic and genotypic characterisation of cephalosporin-, carbapenem- and colistin-resistant Gram-negative bacterial pathogens in Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq

Moghnieh, Rima A.; Moussa, Jihane A.; Aziz, Mohamed Abdel; Matar, Ghassan (Elsevier Ltd, 2021)

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a worldwide health concern that continues to escalate. A PubMed literature search identified articles from January 2015–August 2020 reviewing cephalosporin-, carbapenem- and colistin-resistant ...
Prevalence and molecular epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacilli and their resistance determinants in the Eastern Mediterranean Region over the last decade

Sleiman, Ahmad; Abou Fayad, Antoine G.; Banna, Hanin S.; Matar, Ghassan (Elsevier Ltd, 2021)

Carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae, Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is increasing worldwide, which has led the World Health Organization (WHO) to list these bacteria in the critical priority ...
