Altemeier procedure for strangulated rectal prolapse: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Strangled rectal prolapse (RP), also known as incarcerated rectal prolapse, is a condition where the RP cannot be manually reduced.

Case Presentation: This case report describes a 48-year-old man presenting with a painful and irreducible rectal prolapse. Following failed attempts at manual reduction and the development of necrosis, emergency surgery was performed using the Altemeier procedure.

First Report of IMI-2-Producing and CTX-M-55-Producing isolated from Healthy Volunteers in Tunisia.

The aim of this study was to characterize the prevalence of fecal carriage of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases and carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria among healthy humans in Tunisia. Fifty-one rectal swabs of healthy volunteers were plated on MacConkey agar plates supplemented with cefotaxime or imipenem. The occurrences of resistance genes, integrons, and phylogroup typing were investigated using PCR and sequencing.

Methicillin-Resistant from Diabetic Foot Infections in a Tunisian Hospital with the First Detection of MSSA CC398-t571.

This study sought to analyze the antimicrobial resistant phenotypes and genotypes as well as the virulence content of isolates recovered from patients with diabetic foot infections (DFIs) in a Tunisian hospital. Eighty-three clinical samples of 64 patients were analyzed, and bacterial isolates were identified by MALDI-TOF. The antimicrobial resistance phenotypes were determined by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion susceptibility test.

Co-occurrence of genes encoding carbapenemase, ESBL, pAmpC and non-β-Lactam resistance among Klebsiella pneumonia and E. coli clinical isolates in Tunisia.

This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of carbapenem and colistin resistance in K. pneumoniae and E. coli isolates obtained from hospitalized patients in Carthagene International Hospital of Tunis.

First report of VIM metallo-β-lactamase production in and clinical isolates from Gaza Strip, Palestine.

Introduction: Even though the increasing incidence of VIM-producing and has been reported worldwide, studies are still lacking in Palestine. The aim of this study was to screen carbapenem-resistant and bacteria in the Gaza Strip, Palestine and further to characterize carbapenemase-producing isolates.

Methods: A total of 69 and 27 isolates were obtained from three Gaza hospitals and recovered from urine, wound swabs, blood and ear discharge.
