Article Synopsis
- The prevalence of pandrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is increasing globally, with strains showing resistance to all antibiotics, including colistin.
- Two strains (ABRC1 and ABRC2), isolated from patients in an intensive care unit, demonstrated high colistin resistance with MIC levels over 256 mg/L.
- Genetic analysis revealed several novel mutations linked to colistin resistance, including changes in the lpxC, lpxD, pmrA, pmrB, and lpsB genes in both strains, indicating a complex mechanism of resistance.
Background: The SARS-CoV-2 is an extremely contagious and acute viral disease mainly affecting humans.
Objective: To estimate seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) for illegible armed force individuals living in Rabat, Morocco.
Method: A convenience sample (N = 2662) was conducted from May 2020 to February 2021.
Investigations of carbapenem resistant and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Acta Microbiol Immunol Hung
March 2024
Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae is an emerging pathogen that has gained attention due to its increased ability to cause infections even in healthy individuals. The aim of this study is to investigate virulence factors in K. pneumoniae strains isolated from clinical specimens and their association with carbapenem resistance.

Our study aimed at investigating the resistance of CPE isolates in a Moroccan teaching hospital using phenotypic and genotypic methods.
Methods: Enterobacterales strains from March to June 2018 were collected from different clinical samples.
Acute leukemias are rare disease in the neonatal period. They occur preferentially in newborns with trisomy 21. They often manifest as hepatosplenomegaly, extra-hematopoietic involvement and hyperleukocytosis.
