Abstract

This article discusses the emergence of a multidrug-resistant strain of Enterobacter xiangfangensis (Exn692) in a patient with COVID-19 and diabetes in Lebanon. The strain showed resistance to 37 antibiotics from different classes and carried genes that encoded resistance to these antibiotics. However, it was susceptible to a few antibiotics. The study emphasizes the challenges in treating infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria and the importance of effective antimicrobial stewardship. It also highlights the need for monitoring the evolution of Enterobacter xiangfangensis and developing accurate identification tools to understand its epidemiology, pathogenesis, and antibiotic resistance properties.
