Article Synopsis
- Listeriosis is a serious public health concern due to its high death rate, prompting this study to explore its characteristics in Madagascar, where it's a reported disease.
- The research zeroes in on a deadly case of meningeal listeriosis in a 12-year-old, discovering a unique genomic type of the bacteria with specific virulence and drug resistance traits.
- This study marks the first genomic profiling of Listeria in Madagascar, underscoring the need for continuous surveillance to improve prevention and control efforts in the area.
Antibiotic resistance of bacteria responsible for postoperative wound infections seen in the laboratory of the University Hospital of Befelatanana.

October 2023
The management of postoperative wound infections is a major problem in hospitals due to the frequent ineffectiveness of antibiotic treatment. The objectives of this study are to identify the bacteria responsible for postoperative wound infections and to describe these antibiotic resistances in order to improve the management of these infections. It is a prospective study of 52 bacteriological results of postoperative wounds for a period of six months from January 2021 to June 2021 in the laboratory of the University Hospital of Befelatanana.

Introduction: Urinary tract infection caused by Escherichia coli frequently occurs in the hospital environment. This study aims to describe resistant phenotypes of Escherichia coli strains to monitor their occurrence.
Methods: We conducted a descriptive retrospective study of 102 Escherchia coli strains responsible for urinary tract infection in the laboratory of the University Hospital Joseph Raseta Befelatanana, Antananarivo from January 2014 to October 2016.
Introduction: The blood count is a routine laboratory test prescribed to patients suffering from high blood pressure. This study aims to describe the results of blood count from hypertensive patients and to identify conditions associated.
Methods: This retrospective and descriptive study concerns the period from the 1st of December 2012 to 31 th of December 2013 in the laboratory of University Hospital Center CHU-HJRB of Antananarivo.
