Description
Jame Tannous leads a 2026 multicentre study of resistance enzymes in carbapenem-resistant gut bacteria in Lebanon. These bacteria resist a last-line antibiotic family, and which enzyme they carry shapes treatment. Isolates from 14 hospitals across Lebanon were collected between March and October 2025 and tested centrally.
Of 59 isolates, the NDM enzyme family dominated at 64.4 percent, followed by OXA-48-like enzymes at 23.7 percent, with both in 10.2 percent. NDM led in E. coli, while OXA-48-like enzymes led in Klebsiella pneumoniae. No NDM producer responded to one key drug combination, while most OXA-48-like producers did. Rapid testing agreed strongly with standard prediction.
