    Abstract: Background: Coronavirus (COVID-19) was introduced into society in late 2019 and has now reached over 88 million cases and 1.9 million deaths. The Middle East has a death toll of ~80,000 and over 35000 of these are in Iran, which has over 1.2 million ... ...

    Abstract Background: Coronavirus (COVID-19) was introduced into society in late 2019 and has now reached over 88 million cases and 1.9 million deaths. The Middle East has a death toll of ~80,000 and over 35000 of these are in Iran, which has over 1.2 million confirmed cases. We expect that Iranian cases caused outbreaks in the neighbouring countries and that variant mapping and phylogenetic analysis can be used to prove this. We also aim to analyse the variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS -CoV-2) to characterise the common genome variants and provide useful data in the global effort to prevent further spread of COVID-19.
    Methods: The approach uses bioinformatics approaches including multiple sequence alignment, variant calling and annotation and phylogenetic analysis to identify the genomic variants found in the region. The approach uses 122 samples from the 13 countries of the Middle East sourced from the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID).
    Findings: We identified 2200 distinct genome variants including 129 downstream gene variants, 298 frame shift variants, 789 missense variants, 1 start lost, 13 start gained, 1 stop lost, 249 synonymous variants and 720 upstream gene variants. The most common, high impact variants were 10818delTinsG, 2772delCinsC, 14159delCinsC and 2789delAinsA. These high impact variant ultimately results in 36 number of mutations on spike glycoprotein. Variant alignment and phylogenetic tree generation indicates that samples from Iran likely introduced COVID-19 to the rest of the Middle East.
    Interpretation: The phylogenetic and variant analysis provides unique insight into mutation types in genomes. Initial introduction of COVID-19 was most likely due to Iranian transmission. Some countries show evidence of novel mutations and unique strains. Increased time in small populations is likely to contribute to more unique genomes. This study provides more in depth analysis of the variants affecting in the region than any other study.

    Abstract Arabian Gulf University (AGU) follows a curriculum based on Problem Based Learning (PBL). PBL is a learner-centered approach that empowers students for life-long learning. Students are taught through problems that are designed based on global health problems customized to the local needs. The classroom teaching is complemented through adjunct programs like community health activities and professional skills program. Medical education aims to meet the changing needs of society. Demographics, disease epidemiology and healthcare needs of the gulf countries have changed over 38 years since the inception of AGU. To keep pace with the changing demands, it is imperative that the curriculum is reviewed in the light of advances in technology and newer techniques of medical education.In the present article the curriculum at AGU is reviewed based on the predictors for future medical education and alternative teaching methods that can be integrated to optimize the student outputs are explored.

    Abstract Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in
    Method: A scoping review identified the predominant AMR genes in GCC countries: CTX M, TEM, SHV, NDM, OXA, and VIM genes. For the systematic review, two authors independently searched Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Web of Science for interventional, clinical, or observational studies on the chosen AMR-conferring genes in
    Results: A total 32 studies were included in the final synthesis of evidence. Overall, CTX-M (53.8%) was the most prevalent gene in the region followed TEM (40.6%), NDM-1 (28.4%), OXA (24.3%), VIM (8.5%), and SHV (7.8%). Most included studies were from Saudi Arabia: CTX-M was again most common with a prevalence of 46.8% from 5442 isolates.
    Conclusion: The risk of bias analysis showed a mean quality score of 4.25 ± 0.75, indicating high-quality in studies included in this meta-analysis. This review found that CTX-M gene is the most common AMR-conferring gene in

    Abstract Objectives AmpC β-lactamases are cephalosporinases that confer resistance to cephalothin, cefazolin, cefoxitin, penicillin, and β-lactamase inhibitor-β-lactam combinations. Even though the AmpC resistance is reported, but the accurate occurrence of AmpC β-lactamases in Enterobacteriaceae members is still unknown. Techniques to identify AmpC producers are still evolving but not yet optimized for the clinical laboratory. Here we aimed to compare the test performance of two different phenotypic methods, that is inhibitor-based assay using boronic acid and disk approximation test for AmpC detection in Enterobacteriaceae isolates from a tertiary hospital microbiology laboratory. Materials and Methods The study includes 137 nonrepeat Enterobacteriaceae strains. Bacterial isolates, that yielded a zone diameter of less than 18 mm for cefoxitin by disk diffusion method were considered potential AmpC producers and further confirmed by phenotype methods—inhibitor-based assay using boronic acid and disk approximation test. A multiplex polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the most common plasmid-mediated AmpC genes: ACC, FOX, MOX, DHA, CIT, and EBC. Results Of the 137 clinical isolates, 58 (42.33%) were cefoxitin resistant, while 53.4 and 18.9% of the cefoxitin-resistant isolates were positive by inhibitor-based assay and disk approximation test. Multiplex PCR detected 42 (30.6%) isolates with AmpC genes. Of the 42 isolates, the inhibitor-based assay detected 25 (59.5%) isolates, while the disk approximation test detected nine (21.4%) isolates. Conclusion Our findings suggest that inhibitor-based assay using boronic acid can be used for the detection of the isolates that harbor AmpC β-lactamases. This method is cost-effective, simple to perform, and easy to interpret. Thus AmpC detection as a routine in clinical laboratories can help in appropriate therapeutic intervention and improved infection control.

    Abstract The challenges imposed by the ongoing outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 affects every aspect of our modern world, ranging from our health to our socio-economic needs. Our existence highly depends on the vaccine's availability, which demands in-depth research of the available strains and their mutations. In this work, we have analyzed all the available SARS-COV2 genomes isolated from the Kingdom of Bahrain in terms of their variance and origin analysis. We have predicted various known and unique mutations in the SARS-COV2 isolated from Bahrain. The complexity of the phylogenetic tree and dot plot representation of the strains mentioned above with other isolates of Asia indicates the versatility and multiple origins of Bahrain's SARS-COV2 isolates. We have also identified two high impact spike mutations from these strains which increase the virulence of SARS-COV2. Our research could have a high impact on vaccine development and distinguishes the source of SARS-COV2 in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

    Abstract Background SARS-CoV-2 is diverging from the initial Wuhan serotype, and different variants of the virus are reported. Mapping the variant strains and studying their pattern of evolution will provide better insights into the pandemic spread Methods Data on different SARS-CoV2 for WHO EMRO countries were obtained from the Chinese National Genomics Data Center (NGDC), Genbank and the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID). Multiple sequence alignments (MSA) was performed to study the evolutionary relationship between the genomes. Variant calling, genome and variant alignment were performed to track the strains in each country. Evolutionary and phylogenetic analysis is used to explore the evolutionary hypothesis. Findings Of the total 50 samples, 4 samples did not contain any variants. Variant calling identified 379 variants. Earliest strains are found in Iranian samples. Variant alignment indicates Iran samples have a low variant frequency. Saudi Arabia has formed an outgroup. Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait were the most evolved genomes and are the countries with the highest number of cases per million. Interpretation Iran was exposed to the virus earlier than other countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Funding None
