Genomic features, antimicrobial susceptibility, and insights into Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in Iraqi Healthcare Settings

Background: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia has emerged as a globally significant, intrinsically multidrug-resistant nosocomial pathogen, yet Iraqi data remain limited to phenotypic surveillance without genomic characterization. This study combined antimicrobial susceptibility testing with whole-genome sequencing (WGS...

First report of carbapenemase-producing bacteria from poultry farms in the United Arab Emirates: an emerging One Health threat

Carbapenemase-producing bacteria represent a critical global public health threat, yet their presence and molecular characteristics in food animal production systems remain poorly understood. This study provides the first comprehensive report of carbapenemase-producing bacteria isolated from poultry farms in the Un...

Genomic and functional characterization of novel therapeutic lytic bacteriophages targeting multidrug-resistant Enterobacter cloacae

Suggestion that in vitro evaluation of MMRP1 and MMRP4 are highly recommended to more deeper future experimental studies to combat MDR E. cloacae nosocomial infections supported by genomic foundation and eventually, the possibility to be suitable for phage-engineering applications in clinical settings is highlighted.
