“…Staphylococci are resistant to staphylococcal β-lactamase but is inactive against these organisms due to reduced binding to enzymes that function in staphylococcal cell wall synthesis [20,26]. However, in Al-Charrakh et al [29], found that the resistance rate was (82%) for amikacin. On the other hand, [36] found that MRSA isolates were resistant to Amikacin at (15%).…”

A total of (96) lavage specimens were taken from patients with ventilator associated Pneumonia (VAP), and bronchioalviolar lavage (BAL), during the period from February to June (2018) admitted to the Al-Hillah General Teaching Hospital, Al-Imam Al-Sadiq Hospital and Tiba Center. Among them 24(25%) of specimens were found to be S. aureus isolates were recovered from lavage from patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia and bronchoalveolar lavage(BAL) from patients with bronchiectasis, 22 (36%), 2(5.7%) respectively. In this study, the (21) Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus MRSA isolates were subjected to susceptibility testing (DDT) according to the CLSI, (2016) guidelines using (13) different antibiotic disk.

Background In spite of the evident general negative effects of armed conflict on countries’ health systems and populations’ health outcomes, little is known about similar impacts of conflicts on the spread of antimicrobial resistances (AMR). This review was to address this evidence gap and describe: Patterns of AMR in the Middle East (ME) and resistance profiles of pathogens included in the Global AMR Surveillance System (GLASS) supported by the World Health Organization; Differences in proportions of AMR isolates between conflict and non-conflict countries. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines and searching five electronic databases. Subject heading and free text were searched for “antimicrobial resistances” and “Middle East”, to identify observational studies on AMR published from January 2011 to June 2018. Data were extracted from included articles on a predefined set of variables. Percentages of AMR were analysed as median and interquartile ranges. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Results A total of 132 articles met the inclusion criteria. Included studies showed heterogeneity in study design, laboratory methods and standards for interpretation of results, and an overall high risk of bias. Main findings were the following: High proportions of carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter spp. (median 74.2%), and both carbapenem resistance (median 8.1 and 15.4% for E. coli and K. pneumoniae respectively) and ESBL-production (median 32.3 and 27.9% for E. coli and K. pneumoniae respectively) amongst Enterobacteriaceae. S. aureus isolates showed a median methicillin resistance percentage of 45.1%, while vancomycin resistance was almost absent. A median of 50% of the strains of S. pneumoniae showed non-susceptibility to penicillin. Similar trends were observed in conflict and non-conflict affected countries. Conclusions There is a lack of standardization in the methodological approach to AMR research in the Middle East. The proportion of antibiotic resistances among specific GLASS pathogens is high, particularly among Acinetobacter spp.
