Control of non-conformities in the pre-analytical phase at the Bacteriology Laboratory of the Ibn Sina University Hospital in Rabat (Morocco).

Introduction: The errors in the pre-analytic phase are at the origin of 60 to 85% of the errors in the results proceeded from laboratory.

Aim: To evaluate the impact of the pre-analytical phase on the received bacteriology samples received at the medical bacteriology laboratory of Ibn Sina UH in Rabat Morocco in order to propose corrective actions.

Methods: A descriptive and quantitative study of the non-conformities of the pre-analytical phase identified in the central laboratory of medical bacteriology of the Ibn Sina hospital in Rabat over a period of 6 months (from January 01 to July 01, 2020).

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans: From Basic to Advanced Research.

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a major periodontal pathogen that was identified firstly in actinomycotic lesions and later in advanced forms of periodontal diseases as well as in oral cavity of healthy subjects. The particular pathogenicity of this specie makes it a target for extensive studies both at fundamental and practical scales. The current advances in experimental and clinical research related to this bacterium focus the light on epidemiologic features, virulence, and invasiveness aspects as well as on identification challenges, bacterial susceptibility, and anti-virulence strategies.

Management of biological and infectious risks at the medical bacteriology Laboratory of the Ibn Sina University Hospital in Rabat.

Introduction: The laboratory of bacteriology is a place with a potential risk and permanent exhibition to biological and infectious hazards caused by the handling of potentially contaminated biological products.

Aims: To evaluate biological and infectious, analyze the circumstances of incidents and accidents and propose a professional risk assessment process (EvRP) to the laboratory with an action plan that can be carried out immediately.

Methods: A descriptive epidemiological cross-sectional study carried out in the medical bacteriology laboratory of the Ibn Sina University Hospital in Rabat over a period of twelve months.

Assessment of Chemical Risks in Moroccan Medical Biology Laboratories in Accordance with the CLP Regulation.

Background: Medical laboratory workers are frequently exposed to a wide range of chemicals. This exposure can have adverse effects on their health. Furthermore, a knowledge lack of the chemical risk increases the likelihood of exposure.
