Background: Carbapenem-resistant 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 of isolates collected from colonized or infected patients and hospital environment in two intensive care units (ICUs) in Morocco.
Methods: The patient and environmental sampling was carried out in the medical and surgical ICUs of Mohammed V Military teaching hospital from March to August 2015.
Background: This study aims to assess the susceptibility of isolates to the antiseptics and disinfectants commonly used, and to the non-approved product.
Methods: This is a prospective study carried out from February to August 2015, in the Bacteriology department of Mohammed V Military Teaching hospital of Rabat on isolates collected from colonized and/or infected patients and environmental samples. The antiseptics and disinfectants susceptibility testing was assessed using the micromethod validated in our department.
Introduction: This study aims to determine the Acinetobacter sp clinical isolates frequency and its antibiotic susceptibility pattern by comparing results obtained from the Intensive Care Units (ICUs) to that of other units at the Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital in Rabat.
Methods: This is a retrospective study over a 2-years period where we collected all clinical isolates of Acinetobacter sp obtained from samples for infection diagnosis performed on hospitalized patients between 2012 to 2014.
Results: During the study period, 441 clinical and non-repetitive isolates of Acinetobacter sp were collected representing 6.
