Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that most often affects the lungs, caused by human-to-human transmission of . Peritoneal tuberculosis is an extra-pulmonary form of the disease that usually manifests as an ascitic syndrome, with or without fever, in a context of altered general condition, often in endemic areas. The diagnosis of peritoneal tuberculosis is not always easy, as the clinical signs are often insidious and unspecific.

Introduction: Bacteremia is responsible for high rates of morbidity and mortality. The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in intensive care units (ICU) is a growing concern. Hence, prior knowledge of bacterial epidemiology and resistance phenotypes is required to optimize these infections' management.

Introduction: Urinary tract infection is very common and is the second most frequent reason for consultation in office-based practice. The incidence varies from one country to another. The diffusion of MDR in the community complicates therapeutic management.

Introduction: is the most commonly isolated species in both community and healthcare-associated infections. Our study's purpose was to determine the rates of antibiotic resistance of isolates in hospital and community populations, track the kinetics of resistance rates of isolates to major antibiotics, particularly those prescribed for urinary tract infections and study the occurrence and evolution of multi-resistant phenotypes.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study at the Bacteriological Department of the Mohammed V Military Hospital of Instruction, over a period of 7 years.

Article Synopsis
  • - Tuberculosis is a major global health issue, and this study assesses the effectiveness of the GeneXpert MTB/RIF molecular diagnostic tool for identifying extra-pulmonary tuberculosis and detecting Rifampicin resistance compared to the GenoType MTBDRplus method.
  • - Data from a 21-month retrospective study involved analyzing 714 samples from patients, revealing positivity rates for microscopy, GeneXpert, and culture of 12.88%, 20.59%, and 15.82% respectively, with GeneXpert showing impressive sensitivity and specificity in both pulmonary and extra-pulmonary cases.
  • - The study found a very low Rifampicin resistance rate of 0.84% via GeneXpert MTB/RIF,

Objective: The aim of this cross-sectional study is to assess the epidemiological profile and antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria isolates in burn patients hospitalized from 2007 to 2015 in a Moroccan hospital.

Materials And Methods: Of 627 samples, 451 wounds, 126 blood cultures, and 50 catheter samples were analyzed. A total of 610 microorganisms were isolated from a total of 108 patients.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to examine the epidemiology, risk factors and outcome associated with infections in the intensive care units (ICUs) in a Moroccan teaching hospital.

Methods: This is a matched case-control study conducted as a joint collaboration between the clinical Bacteriology department and the two ICUs of Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital from January 2015 to July 2016.

Results: Among 964 patients hospitalized in the ICUs, 81 (8.

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.
