The discovery of antibiotics has always been a medical advance that improved the prognosis infections. However, resistance to these products evolved into major health problem. Some diseases are even resistant all currently available on market. A reduction in use must be based other approaches, namely alternative treatments antibiotics, such as phytotherapy. In same objective our study focused r...

Aims: Nosocomial pneumonia is a prevalent complication in patients admitted to intensive care units. Endotracheal suction (ES) used clean the airways of secretions under mechanical ventilation (MV). The objective this study was compare effects an open endotracheal system (OESS) versus closed (CESS) on incidence ventilator-associated (VAP).
 Study Design: Retrospective examination hospital ...

A COVID-19 é uma doença viral que pode causar pneumonia grave, por ser patologia nova, as infecções bacterianas secundárias ao coronavírus ainda não foram bem esclarecidas. O objetivo deste artigo verificar o perfil das dos pacientes com admitidos em UTIs, avaliando os microrganismos associados e de resistência aos antimicrobianos. Trata-se um estudo quantitativo realizado hospital da região me...

The objective of this study is to describe the bacteriological and biochemical profile bacterial pulmonary superinfections in COVID 19 patients hospitalized ICU (Intensive Care Unit) Avicenna military hospital Marrakech. A descriptive retrospective was conducted, including all covid admitted intensive care unit for respiratory distress syndrome. 338 samples were tested which 118 came back posit...

Background : The pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 raised the attention towards bacterial co-infection and its role in disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease. This study aims to review identify prevalence Iraqi patients as played an important escalating morbidity mortality rate during previous viral outbreaks pandemics COVID-19.

Background: Hospital acquired infections continue to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients. Though Hospital Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) is widely analyzed by many researchers, not much is known about the incidence and bacteriological profile i.e., only few studies are being published by them. This study is conducted to evaluate bacteriological profile of HAP ...

Background: To assess the microbiological growth and antibiotic sensitivity pattern in ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP). Methods: In this descriptive study nasobronchial lavages (NBL) were obtained by using a suction tube. These samples were processed using standard microbiological techniques. The frequency of the causative organisms was obtained by culturing the NBL samples on suitable me...

Heterotrophic bacteria associated with two specimens of the marine sponge Erylus discophorus were screened for their capacity to produce bioactive compounds against a panel of human pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus wild type and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumanii, Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus), fish pathogen (A...
