Observational cohort examines high colonization rates and molecular traits of CPE in Gaza children, highlighting health risks.

The Gaza cohort exhibited a 41.9-fold higher rate of colonization compared to Qatar children.
Molecular analysis revealed NDM-like carbapenemases predominating in Gaza, while OXA-48-like in Sidra.
Among Gazan carriers, 32 had war-related injuries, suggesting healthcare challenges amid conflict.
This study underscores the risk of silent spread of multidrug-resistant organisms due to ongoing conflicts.

Pérez‐López et al. (2025) studied this question.
