1. The activity of monoamine oxidase, when assayed with four substrates, was significantly lowered in platelets prepared from the blood patients iron-deficiency anaemia. 2. Treatment oral iron preparations restored platelet oxidase to normal those whose serum concentrations also returned normal. 3. Platelet remained low if treatment failed restore concentration within limits.
The Culex pipiens mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) is highly suspected to be the vector responsible for spread of several parasitic and viral diseases. use synthetic insecticides generally preferred method controlling these mosquitoes’ proliferation. However, it has led resistance problems in target mosquitoes environmental damage. Hence, diverse plant extracts could considered as an alternative potential source control agents. In this study, essential oils Lavandula angustifolia subsp. dentata...
The objectives of the study were to investigate organizational characteristics acute care facilities worldwide in preventing and managing infections surgery; assess participants' perception regarding infection prevention control (IPC) measures, antibiotic prescribing practices, source control; describe awareness about global burden antimicrobial resistance (AMR) IPC measures; determine role Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic on said awareness.A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted...
Culex mosquitoes, as nuisance insects and primary vectors of disease, present an important risk to animal human health. The aim the study was evaluate larvicidal potential various extracts (ethanolic, hydro-ethanolic, essential oil) Syzygium aromaticum (clove) against larvae pipiens. Ethanolic hydro-ethanolic from were prepared by ultrasonication, their composition determined phytochemical screening. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) performed characterize oil, which produced...
Background. The microbiological risk of the hospital environment, including inert surfaces, medical devices, and equipment, represents a real problem. Objective. This study is aimed at demonstrating assessing antibacterial activity three synthetic disinfectants classified as quaternary ammoniums on different bacterial strains (Gram-negative Gram-positive like Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus aureus)...
Food poisoning risk related to the consumption of contaminated food with known foodborne pathogens or antibiotic-resistant bacteria is currently a serious threat for public health. Thus, pathogenic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus strains are considered as one major cause diseases in hospitals. The present study aims determine prevalence and antibiotic resistance patterns various types hospital samples, work surfaces its carriage by handlers. A total 608 collected samples including 300...
This study was conducted in order to know the colonization rate of MDR enterobacteria neonates during their hospitalization neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Furthermore, we investigated risk factors for potential and molecular epidemiology isolated resistant bacteria. prospective carried out neonatology department University Hospital Fez (Morocco) from February 2013 July 2015. All consecutive admitted newborns were screened intestinal nasal carriage at admission babies hospitalization....
Around the world, COVID-19 pandemic quickly led to closure of educational institutions in hope reducing infections and fatalities due this disease. Distant education is becoming a policy priority, although teachers are neither experienced nor accustomed its use. The purpose study determine secondary school teachers' perceptions requirements distance during confinement. To our knowledge, none similar studies conducted area has approached issue Morocco. regarding education, we an analytical...
Background and Objectives: Food in healthcare settings are complementary to medical treatment, hence it should be produced good sanitary conditions. In fact, hospitalized immune-compromised patients more likely have foodborne infections than the rest of community. The aim our study is evaluate microbiological quality food contact surfaces a hospital kitchen Morocco. Materials Methods: A total 238 samples was collected from analyzed for aerobic mesophilic bacteria (AMC), Enterobacteriaceae...
Introduction: Carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is a public health problem worldwide. Although carbapenem emerging Morocco, few studies have shown the epidemiological profile of carbapenemase genes Moroccan healthcare facilities. The aim this study was to characterize molecular enzyme from clinical isolates. Methods: Clinical strains isolated laboratory various samples were subjected several phenotypic tests. Antibiotic susceptibility and identification tested...
Background Klebsiella spp. can colonize the intestine of preterm neonates, and over-growth has been associated with necrotizing enterocolitis, hospital-acquired infections, late-onset sepsis. This could lead us to suggest that clinical pertinence intestinal colonization ESBL in neonates appears be important. We conducted this study characterize genetic proprieties ESBL-producing pneumoniae (ESBL-KP) under isolates describe risk factors for tract acquisition event during hospitalization....
Escherichia coli is related to foodborne disease and outbreaks worldwide. It mainly affects persons at high risk as newborns, infants, individuals with impaired immune system in hospitals. Multidrug-resistant E. currently spreading both community hospital settings. Our study aims evaluate the presence of incidence its antibiotic resistance samples obtained from various cooked raw foods (N = 300), food contact surfaces 238), handlers 40) Moroccan catering service. was identified using API...
Food hygiene is important both for its impact on the health of citizens and also cost infections that it can generate. In Morocco, has become a concern authorities. This work, realized first time in center aimed at describing microbiological quality foodstuffs marketed collective catering central Morocco. study was conducted retrospectively from January 2015 to December 2019 Fez city, The samples collected by competent authority during official control restaurants food outlets were analyzed....
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and carbapenemase production ability of Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from premature neonates’ intestinal tracts in a Moroccan neonatal intensive care unit Methodology: Active rectal screening was performed among 339 preterm infants. The collected were subjected antibiotic susceptibility testing, phenotypic analysis production, molecular detection genes. Results: Out 293 K. collected, 31.05% (91) resistant carbapenem produced...
Background and Objectives: Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has recently been identified by the World Health Organization as a critical pathogen. We propose to characterize molecular characteristics of clinical isolates A. resistant carbapenems collected in Moroccan hospital. Materials Methods: Seventy carbapenem-resistant from various samples were received at mi- crobiology laboratory Hospital Center. Antibiotic susceptibility was tested diffusion disc method characterization...
Gloves are worn to protect hands from contamination and microorganisms; this measurement tries isolate the of healthcare workers ensure a better protection, with an aim minimizing risk transmission infectious agents patients. This survey aims at assessing knowledge, attitudes, practices towards disposable gloves use among nursing staff Hassan II University Teaching Hospital in Fez. is cross-sectional prospective evaluative study that covers two-month period. Data were collected using...
Abstract During the Covid-19 pandemic, healthcare workers were extremely vulnerable to infection with virus and needed continuous protection. One of most effective widely used means protection was FFP2 respirator. Unfortunately, this crisis created a shortage these masks, prompting hospitals explore opportunities reuse them after decontamination. An approach for assessing filtration efficiency decontaminated masks has been proposed applied evaluate possibilities their safe reuse. The...
