Bacterial sexually transmitted infections and syndromic approach: a study conducted on women at Moroccan University Hospital.

Introduction: In Morocco, a syndromic approach has been implemented for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) management. However, those infections can be asymptomatic and the use of the syndromic approach to their management can be inappropriate and lead to dissemination of infection. Therefore, it would be important to determine the epidemiology and risk factors of bacterial STIs ( (NG), (CT) and (MG)) in a Moroccan population and their association with symptoms to assess the appropriacy of the use of the syndromic approach.

Detection of Biovars and Subtyping of among Women Referring to a University Hospital in Morocco.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of biovars and () serovars, their associated risk factors, and genital STI-related symptoms.

Methods: DNA obtained from cervical samples of 1053 women attending the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the laboratory of pathological anatomy of Hassan II university hospital of Fez, Morocco, was used to detect biovars ( and ) and to subtype by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Results: Of the 1053 women examined, 25.

Molecular Antimicrobial Resistance of in a Moroccan Area.

Objectives: To identify the prevalence and the types of (NG) resistance plasmids-mediated penicillin (PPNG) and tetracycline (TRNG), the ciprofloxacin resistance (CRNG), and related risk factors of each types of resistance.

Methods: The beta-lactamase-producing plasmid types (Africa, Asia, and Toronto), tetracycline resistance plasmid types (America and Dutch), and the determination of the Ser-91 mutation of GyrA were detected by specifics PCRs on 149 diagnosed NG positives samples followed by digestion for and mutation.

Results: 135 (90.

Cervical Cancer Induction Enhancement Potential of Chlamydia Trachomatis: A Systematic Review.

Other co-factors are required to induce cell transformation that will evolve to malignant cervical cancer. These co-factors include physical elements, other sexually transmitted infections, and immune response.

Distribution of Carcinogenic Human Papillomavirus Genotypes and Association to Cervical Lesions among Women in Fez (Morocco).

Objectives: To determine the distribution of cervical high-risk human papillomavirus genotypes and their association to cellular abnormalities in women from Fez and its neighborhood.

Methods: Women attending the Hassan II University Hospital for cervical pap smears were recruited after an informed consent. Interviews and two cervical samples were performed for each woman.
