Introduction: The use of urine cytobacteriological examination is a common and essential practice in medicine which helps guide therapeutic management in case of urinary tract infection. The cytological examination of urine samples can be done using the manual (microscopic) or automated technique. The automated approach, which involves the use of artificial intelligence, is faster, more reliable, and more efficient for laboratories.

The cytobacteriological examination of urine (CBEU) remains the primary diagnostic test for urinary tract infections and is the most frequently conducted test in microbiology laboratories. Direct examination is a crucial step of CBEU, enabling the assessment of cytology, including leukocytes and red blood cells, as well as the identification of crystals, epithelial cells, and microorganisms when present in significant quantities.

- Williams and Trotman aimed to automate bacteriology processes since 1960, but faced challenges like high costs and traditional methods that delayed progress.
- Automation started with blood culture incubators and eventually improved efficiency in various bacteriology areas, such as cytology and antibiotic testing, leading to faster lab results and enhanced quality.
- The integration of artificial intelligence in bacteriological analyses signifies a further transformation, resulting in fully automated labs with less human involvement, ultimately impacting healthcare quality.
Introduction: Healthcare-associated infections pose a significant public health burden, leading to morbidity, mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and substantial social and economic costs. Immunocompromised patients are at a heightened risk of nosocomial infections.
Aim: This prospective study conducted at Mohammed VI University Hospital of Oujda aimed to assess the microbial ecology of surfaces and air in an immunosuppressed patient room compared to a double hospitalization room.
Background: The aim of our study was to explore the utility of the Sysmex UF-1000i analyzer as a rapid screening tool for urinary tract infections (UTI) and its ability to predict bacterial shape in order to help physicians choose the appropriate empiric treatment.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study, including 1023 urine cytobacteriological examinations. Urines were processed according to the recommendations of the medical microbiology reference system (REMIC).
Throughout history, medicinal and aromatic plants have been used extensively to cure a variety of ailments. This article provides a comprehensive overview of Cannabis sativa, specifically focusing on its legislative status, decriminalization, phytochemistry, antimicrobial activity, and safety. The study begins by briefly outlining the plant's history, including its cultivation, harvesting, and storage methods.

The objectives of the authors' work were to establish the bacteriological profile of urinary tract infection and/or colonization in the elderly and then to study drug resistance of bacterial strains isolated.
Materials And Methods: This is a 36 months retrospective study from 22 March 2016 to 11 May 2019.
invasive infection in a patient with Hirschsprung disease: A case report.
Ann Med Surg (Lond)
November 2021
Article Synopsis
- The text describes a rare case of an invasive infection in a newborn caused by a gram-negative bacterium, likely originating from the gastrointestinal tract due to Hirschsprung disease.
- A female patient developed symptoms of intestinal obstruction and was admitted to a neonatal unit, where an infection was confirmed through various cultures.
- The authors suggest potential contamination routes and highlight the need for more research on this emerging pathogen and its associated risks and pathogenesis.
