Molecular and phenotypic characterization of biofilm formation and antimicrobial resistance patterns of uropathogenic staphylococcus haemolyticus isolates in Casablanca, Morocco.

This study aimed to establish the correlation between antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation by Staphylococcus haemolyticus and to examine the impact of sub-inhibitory concentrations of antibiotics (sub-MICs) on biofilm formation. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was conducted using the disk diffusion method, and biofilm formation was determined using Congo red agar and microtiter plate methods. Antibiotic resistance and biofilm-associated genes were detected using polymerase chain reaction.

Exploring staphylococcus in urinary tract infections: A systematic review and meta-analysis on the epidemiology, antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation.

This study aimed to determine the epidemiology, biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance of staphylococci collected worldwide in the context of UTIs. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Forty studies from 23 countries were selected for quantitative review.

Epidemiology and risk factors for staphylococcal urinary tract infections in the Moroccan Casablanca area.

Purpose: This study aimed to ascertain the prevalence and risk factors for developing staphylococcal urinary tract infections (UTIs) in the Casablanca area of Morocco.

Methods: In Casablanca, Morocco, a retrospective evaluation of 772 UTIs patients was conducted between January 2020 and December 2022. The research included two groups of patients: those with staphylococcal UTIs and those without.

Camel urine as a potential source of bioactive molecules showing their efficacy against pathogens: A systematic review.

Camels are highly suited for severe desert conditions and able to provide most of the natural products like urine, which has been used as alternative medicine to treat diverse infections and disorders. There is, however, a shortage and paucity of scientific reviews highlighting the antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral effects of camel urine. By better understanding its antimicrobial characteristics, our overarching aim is to provide an exhaustive overview of this valuable natural product by synthesizing and summarizing data on the efficacy of this biofluid and also describing the potential substances exhibiting antimicrobial properties.
