Anticancer Effect of Mycotoxins From : Exploration of Natural Product Potential.

Research into biologically natural substances with antitumor properties, known for their potential to induce fewer side effects and exhibit specificity toward cancerous cells, remains imperative. The pressing demand for novel agents in cancer therapy underscores the intensive investigation of natural products from microorganisms. , frequently isolated from food and feed, emerges as a promising candidate against pathogenic bacteria and fungi.

Antibiotic resistance patterns in nosocomial infections: preliminary data from Hospital of Al-Hoceima, Morocco.

Introduction: Nosocomial infections or healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) represent a public health problem. The burden of antibiotic resistance in these infections is still unclear in Morocco. The objective of this study was to describe antibiotic susceptibility of the main bacteria responsible for nosocomial infections in order to propose prevention measures.

A 6-Year Update on the Diversity of Methicillin-Resistant Clones in Africa: A Systematic Review.

Background: Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is a leading cause of hospital-associated (HA) and community-associated (CA) infections globally. The multi-drug resistant nature of this pathogen and its capacity to cause outbreaks in hospital and community settings highlight the need for effective interventions, including its surveillance for prevention and control. This study provides an update on the clonal distribution of MRSA in Africa.

Salivary Cytokines as Potential Diagnostic Biomarkers for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune inflammatory disease characterized by an unknown etiology and a highly variable clinical presentation. This clinical heterogeneity might be explained by dysregulation of tolerance to self and apoptotic mechanisms, overproduction of autoantibodies, and abnormal cytokine levels. Cytokine imbalance levels have been associated with disease activity and severity in SLE patients.

Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in farm animals and breeders in north of Morocco.

Background: The objectives of this study were to determine for the first time, in Morocco, the nasal carriage rate, antimicrobial susceptibility profiles and virulence genes of Staphylococcus. aureus isolated from animals and breeders in close contact.

Methods: From 2015 to 2016, 421 nasal swab samples were collected from 26 different livestock areas in Tangier.

Nasal carriage of sequence type 22 MRSA and livestock-associated ST398 clones in Tangier, Morocco.

Introduction: This study aimed to provide data of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal carriage as well as to determine the genetic lineages of this circulating MRSA in the Tangier community.

Methodology: Between 2012 and 2013 two subpopulations consisting of randomly chosen healthy volunteers and outpatients in 11 healthcare facilities were screened. The antibiotic resistance phenotype was determined by disk diffusion.
