Elizabethkingia Meningoseptica in Dubai, United Arab Emirates: A 7-Year Multicenter Study.
Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is a gram-negative bacillus. Widely distributed in nature, it poses a significant threat as a nosocomial pathogen, particularly affecting immunocompromised neonates and the elderly. This study aims to describe the antimicrobial susceptibility and outcomes of E. meningoseptica infections over seven years in UAE. A total of 23 cases were observed during the study, 21 (91%) of which exhibited multidrug resistance. More than half of the cases required intensive care and mechanical ventilation (n=13, 57%). The observed in-hospital mortality rate was 38% (n=5) in adults and 20% (n=2) in pediatrics. Effective management of E. meningoseptica infections requires vigilant monitoring, comprehensive control, and targeted therapies.
