Six hundred nineteen strains of nonfermenting gram-negative rods were tested for alkaline phosphatase, benzyl-arginine arylamidase, pyrrolidonyl arylamidase, ethylene glycol acidification, and susceptibility to desferrioxamine and colistin. The results were highly discriminant. Therefore, the proposed tests may be helpful for the identification of this group of organisms.

Non-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria are resistant to most antibiotics, due to the production of enzymes such as NDM-1. Faced with this challenge, computational methods have become essential for the design of NDM-1 carbapenemase inhibitors, optimizing both the time and cost of the development of new lead molecules. In this study, molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed in order to identify effective inhibitors against the NDM-1 enzyme.

The IR Biotyper is a novel real-time typing tool, based on a Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy system. It has emerged as a promising method for the strain typing of various microorganisms and for the detection of their clonal spread within hospitals. In this review, we aim to present the applications and accuracy of the IR Biotyper in hospital epidemiology.

Introduction: Burn patients are highly susceptible to bacterial infections, which significantly increase morbidity and mortality. Destruction of skin barriers following burns creates an ideal environment for tissue colonization by pathogenic microorganisms.
Objectives: The aim of our study is to establish the epidemiological profile of bacterial infections in burn patients hospitalized in the Burns and Plastic Surgery Department of the Mohamed V Military Teaching Hospital (HMIMV) in Rabat and to describe their sensitivity to antibiotics.
