  • Emergence of highly resistant Candida auris in the United Arab Emirates

    Open AccessJens Thomsen, Najiba M Abdulrazzaq et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction The Centers for Disease Prevention and Control lists Candida auris , given its global emergence, multidrug resistance, high mortality, and persistent transmissions in health care settings as one of five urgent threats. As a new threat, the need for surveillance of C. auris is critical. This is particularly important for a cosmopolitan setting and global hub such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE) where continued introduction and emerg…

  • Evolving trends among Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    Open AccessJens Thomsen, Godfred Antony Menezes et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction Pseudomonas is a group of ubiquitous non-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria (NFGNB). Of the several species associated with humans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) can acclimate to diverse environments. The global frequency of PA infections is rising and is complicated by this organism's high intrinsic and acquired resistance to several clinically relevant antibiotics. Data on the epidemiology, levels, and trends of antimicrobial resistan…

  • Epidemiology of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in the United Arab Emirates

    Open AccessJens Thomsen, Najiba M Abdulrazzak et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction Enterococci are usually low pathogenic, but can cause invasive disease under certain circumstances, including urinary tract infections, bacteremia, endocarditis, and meningitis, and are associated with peritonitis and intra-abdominal abscesses. Increasing resistance of enterococci to glycopeptides and fluoroquinolones, and high-level resistance to aminoglycosides is a concern. National antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance data…

  • Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the United Arab Emirates

    Open AccessJens Thomsen, Najiba M Abdulrazzaq et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major contributor to the global burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). As MRSA continues to evolve, the need for continued surveillance to evaluate trends remains crucial. This study was carried out to assess MRSA trends in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) based on analysis of data from the national AMR surveillance program. Methods We carried out a 12-year (2010–2021) retrospe…

  • Antimicrobial resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae

    Open AccessAbiola Senok, Jens Thomsen et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Introduction Although pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV) have been effective in reducing the burden of Streptococcus pneumoniae infections, there is a paucity of data on the relationship with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) trends in the Arabian Gulf region. This study was carried out to assess S. pneumoniae resistance trends in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) where PCV-13 vaccination was introduced in 2011. Methods Retrospective analysis of S. …

  • Carbapenem resistant Enterobacterales in the United Arab Emirates

    Open AccessJens Thomsen, Najiba M Abdulrazzaq et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) are spreading in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) where their dissemination is facilitated by international travel, trade, and tourism. The objective of this study is to describe the longitudinal changes of CRE as reported by the national AMR surveillance system of the UAE. Methods In this study, we retrospectively describe CRE isolated from 317 surveillance sites, including 87 hospitals and 23…
