Cover Story: Methicillin resistance in staphylococci (MRS) may cause serious human and animal infections, resulting in death. In Arab countries, MRS has been detected in food-producing animals and food products; however, the risk this poses is somewhat unclear, and  there is still a significant lack of information on the trend and distribution of these pathogens in these countries, which have a specific ecosystem (desert) and traditions (Muslim culture). From the few data available, we could conclude that animals can be heavily contaminated with MRS and can be an important component of the One Health spread of methicillin resistance. The present review summarizes and analyses research publications and shows major gaps in our knowledge of MRS in Arab countries. Therefore, more studies are necessary to understand the burden of MRS in these countries. View this paper
