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.

Diabetic Foot Infection in Morocco: Microbiological Profile.

Objective: The objective of this work is to describe the microbiology of diabetic foot infections (DFIs).

Materials And Methods: The authors included all samples of infected diabetic foot ulcers between January 2009 and June 2014 at the Mohammed Vth Military Teaching Hospital of Rabat, Morocco.

Results: The researchers collected 199 samples corresponding to 157 patients.

[Bacteriological aspects of catheter cultures: study over 24 months].

Background: Catheter-related infections are the sixth leading cause of nosocomial infections with approximately 7% of cases.

Aim: The aim of this work was to establish the bacterial epidemiology of the catheter and TIC culture (totally implantable catheter) at the Mohamed V Military Teaching Hospital (MVHMI), and to study the antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria isolated.

Methods: this is a retrospective study over 24 months, including the venous and arterial catheters as well as the TIC treated at the Microbiology laboratory of the MVHMI.

[A Corynebacterium striatum endocarditis on a carrier of pacemaker].

We report a new case of a Corynebacterium striatum endocarditis on a carrier of a pacemaker. Corynebacterium striatum was isolated from blood culture, the pulse generator and the pacing lead. A literature review of Corynebacterium striatum endocarditis on a carrier of pacemaker was conducted.

[Human septicemia caused by Corynebacterium bovis: a case report and review of the literature].

We report a rare case of Corynebacterium bovis septicemia about a 65 year old man who received prolonged antibiotic treatment with colistin, imipenem and fosfomycin. We discuss in this work the circumstances of emergence of C. bovis infection through a literature review.
