Abstrakt: Objectives: To evaluate literature from a 12-year period (2010–2021) on the antimicrobial resistance profile of Pseudomonas aeruginosafrom the Arabian Gulf countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates). Methods: An electronic literature search was conducted for articles on antimicrobial resistance in P. aeruginosaand associated phenotypes, covering the period of 1st January 2010 to 1st December 2021. Results: Antimicrobial resistance in the Arabian Gulf was highest to meropenem (10.3–45.7%) and lowest to colistin (0.0–0.8%), among the agents tested. Annual data showed that ceftazidime resistance (Kuwait), piperacillin-tazobactam non-susceptibility (Qatar), and aztreonam, imipenem, and meropenem resistance (Saudi Arabia) increased by 12–17%. Multiple mechanisms of carbapenem resistance were identified and multiple clones were detected, including high-risk clones such as ST235. The most common carbapenemases detected were the VIM-type metallo-β-lactamases. Conclusions: Among P. aeruginosain the Arabian Gulf countries, resistance to meropenem was higher than to the other agents tested, and meropenem resistance increased in Saudi Arabia during the study period. Resistance to colistin, a classic antibiotic used to treat Pseudomonasspp. infections, remained low. The VIM-type β-lactamase genes were dominant. We recommend local and regional antimicrobial resistance surveillance programs to detect the emergence of resistance genes and to monitor antimicrobial resistance trends in P. aeruginosa.
