Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in a Moroccan hospital.

Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing (ESBL-E) is a major public health problem in hospitals and in the community. The objective of this work was to describe the epidemiology of ESBL-E to study their resistance profile and to determine the genes encoding the ESBL phenotype. This is a retrospective study conducted in the bacteriology laboratory of the Mohamed V Military Training Hospital in Rabat, and covering all isolates of from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2020.

Update on the resistance of isolated from urine specimens in a Moroccan hospital: a review of a 7-year period.

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.
