In recent years, Imidazothiazole-Chalcone conjugates have emerged as notable pharmacophores with potential applications in discovering biologically active compounds. This study focuses on synthesizing novel imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole chalcone derivatives through a facile and conventional process adhering to several principles of green chemistry, facilitating scalable production. The synthesized compounds underwent comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1H NMR, 13C NMR, LC-MS, and FT-IR techniques.

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.

Introduction: The purpose of this research is to evaluate the resistance profile of uropathogenic staphylococci bacteria in Casablanca, Morocco.

Methodology: In this retrospective cross-sectional research carried out from January 2017 to December 2020, isolation and identification were carried out according to the usual techniques in medical microbiology. Staphylococcus aureus isolates were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the nuc gene, and the antibiogram was performed according to the guidelines of the Antibiogram Committee of the French Society of Microbiology (CA-SFM 2021).
