Abstract Background Tuberculosis represents a serious public health problem and significant diagnostic therapeutic challenge worldwide. Molecular techniques are crucial in the World Health Organization’s new tuberculosis control strategy. This study aims to evaluate performance of GeneXpert MTB/RIF (Cepheid Sunnyvale, CA, United States) diagnosis extra-pulmonary then compare it’s detecting Rifampicin resistance GenoType MTBDRplus (HAIN Life Sciences, Nehren, Germany). Methods Samples from...
This study aims to determine the Acinetobacter sp clinical isolates frequency and its antibiotic susceptibility pattern by comparing results obtained from Intensive Care Units (ICUs) that of other units at Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital in Rabat.This is a retrospective over 2-years period where we collected all samples for infection diagnosis performed on hospitalized patients between 2012 2014.During period, 441 non-repetitive were representing 6.94% bacterial (n = 6352) 9.6% Gram...
Pericardial aspergillosis is a rare but potentially fatal opportunistic infection primarily affecting immunocompromised patients. Diagnosis challenging due to nonspecific clinical manifestations and difficulties in obtaining definitive microbiological confirmation. Risk factors include immunosuppressive therapies, hematologic malignancies, solid organ transplantation. While pulmonary involvement most common, cardiac such as pericarditis are infrequent often diagnosed post-mortem. We report...
Introduction-Aim: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a common complication in cirrhotic patients and associated with high mortality rate. The aim of this study to determine the epidemiological bacteriological profile spontaneous peritonitis, as well antibiotic resistance among hospitalized at CHU Mohammed VI, order guide empirical choices for better management. Methods: This prospective conducted over period 12 months, from January December 2023, focusing on all requests examination...
This study investigates the evolution and genetic diversity of SARS-CoV-2 strains circulating in Morocco to track spread, clade distributions mutations virus across various regions from February 2020 June 2024. The genome sequences were retrieved GISAID database. A total 2630 analyzed using bioinformatic tools such as Nextclade, followed by phylogenetic statistical analyses. highlights predominance GRA (Omicron variant) since November 2021, while clades G, GH, GR, GRY identified earlier....
Tuberculosis remains one of the world's leading causes morbidity and mortality. It occurs in both pulmonary extra-pulmonary forms. Primary iliac bone tuberculosis a rare clinical entity, even endemic areas. The diagnosis disease can be challenging due to its similarity other diseases. We report case primary 63-year-old patient who was on peritoneal dialysis, had medical history hypertension, type II diabetes, which complicated by diabetic retinopathy kidney disease. Magnetic resonance...
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has recently been defined by the World Health Organization as a critical pathogen. The aim of this study was to compare clonal diversity and carbapenemase-encoding genes A. isolates collected from colonized or infected patients hospital environment in two intensive care units (ICUs) Morocco.The patient environmental sampling carried out medical surgical ICUs Mohammed V Military teaching March August 2015. All recovered clinical samples, were...
Introduction. Acinetobacter species are non-fermenting and ubiquitous Gram-negative coccobacilli, which in recent years have become the leading cause of healthcare-associated infections worldwide. Our objective here was to study epidemiology risk factors associated with baumannii intensive care unit (ICU). Methods. This retrospective case-control conducted collaboratively between Medical Bacteriology Department two ICUs Military Hospital Instruction Mohammed V-Rabat over a 3 month period....
The objective of this study was to examine the epidemiology, risk factors and outcome associated with Acinetobacter baumannii infections in intensive care units (ICUs) a Moroccan teaching hospital.This is matched case-control conducted as joint collaboration between clinical Bacteriology department two ICUs Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital from January 2015 July 2016.Among 964 patients hospitalized ICUs, 81 (8.4%) developed A. infections. Multivariate logistic regression analysis...
This study aims to assess the susceptibility of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates antiseptics and disinfectants commonly used, non-approved product. is a prospective carried out from February August 2015, in Bacteriology department Mohammed V Military Teaching hospital Rabat on A.baumannii collected colonized and/or infected patients environmental samples. The testing was assessed using micromethod validated our department. studied were: 70% ethyl alcohol, chlorhexidine, povidone-iodine,...
Objectives. We conducted a one-year observational study from December 2012 to November 2013 describe the epidemiology of bacteraemia in intensive care units (ICU) Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital Rabat (Morocco). Methods. The consisted monitoring all blood cultures coming and studying bacteriological profile positive as well their clinical significance. Results. During this period, total 46 episodes occurred, which corresponds rate 15,4/1000 patients. nosocomial infections was 97%...
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae is an emerging pathogen that has gained attention due to its increased ability cause infections even in healthy individuals. The aim of this study investigate virulence factors K. strains isolated from clinical specimens and their association with carbapenem resistance. was conducted on 260 isolates identified between 2018 2023 at the Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital Rabat, Morocco. were categorized based susceptibility antibiotics. hypermucoviscosity...
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. It a major public health problem, and one of world's leading causes morbidity mortality. occurs in both pulmonary extra-pulmonary forms, form being most common. Primary iliac bone remains rare clinical entity, even endemic areas. Its diagnosis can be challenging due to its similarity other conditions. We report case primary 63-year-old patient on peritoneal dialysis, with following medical history:...
Due to its incidence, clinical polymorphism and severity, urinary tract infection is an important problem in elderly. The objectives of the authors' work were establish bacteriological profile and/or colonization elderly then study drug resistance bacterial strains isolated.This a 36 months retrospective from 22 March 2016 11 May 2019. included specimens persons aged 65 years or over, hospitalized consulting at hospital. Urines processed according recommendations medical microbiology...
