Objective: () nasopharyngeal carriage has significantly decreased after the generalization of pneumococcal vaccination worldwide. This study sought to investigate changes in carriage rates, serotype distribution and penicillin non-susceptibility following the generalization of 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted in Marrakesh, Morocco, between 2017 and 2018, among healthy children attending vaccination centers.

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric hepatic‑induced syndrome in which several factors are involved in promoting brain perturbations, with ammonia being the primary factor. Motor impairment, incoordination, and gut dysbiosis are some of the well‑known symptoms of HE. Nevertheless, the link between the direct effect of hyperammonemia and associated gut dysbiosis in the pathogenesis of HE is not well established.

() remains one of the most important pathogens causing childhood infections. The spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a leading cause of treatment failure in children. The purpose of this investigation is to report the antibiotic and multidrug resistance (MDR) of strains isolated from healthy children throughout the years 2020-2022.

Background And Objectives: is one of the most frequent pathogens leading to a variety of clinical manifestations. The effects of carriage on acute otitis media (AOM) are poorly studied. The study aimed to assess the serotype's distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility in children with AOM after the implementation of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) in Morocco.

Monitoring of Streptococcus pneumoniae antibiotic resistance is of great importance due to the frequency of strains becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics. In this study, we report the antibiotic susceptibility of the serotypes of S. pneumoniae strains isolated from healthy children aged 1-24 months in the Marrakech region of Morocco.
