Epidemiology of Acinetobacter baumannii Infection in a University Hospital

                                https://www.austinpublishinggroup.com/pathology-microbiology/


AcinetobacterBaumannii is a gram-negative coccobacillus. it is an opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised patients, that attracted considerable attention for the last 40 years as the most important emerging bacterial pathogen. this is explained by its ability to colonize the biotic and abiotic surfaces with high resistance to disinfectants but also to desiccation by formation of biofilms. baumannii currently occupies an important place in hospital pathology globally, with an important role in potentially epidemic nosocomial infection. indeed, infections due to a. baumannii are frequent and severe with high morbidity and mortality. a. baumannii is also characterized by its ability to over-regulate its innate resistance mechanisms, but above all to acquire new resistance mechanisms whose diversity is impressive with various genetic supports. therefore, the therapeutic options for this bacteria are very limited. knowledge of local epidemiology is essential to monitor trends in antibiotic resistance, in order to determine the magnitude of this phenomenon, to adapt the protocols of probabilistic antibiotic therapy and to evaluate actions to fight this bacterium. the aim of this study is to determine, through a 6 year descriptive study (from 2010 to 2015), the evolution of the epidemiological profile of a. baumannii isolated at the university hospital mohammed vi in marrakech (morocco) and evaluate levels of resistance to different antibiotics.

  1. The design surely marvelous. Every one of those modest material are actually fashioned utilising wide range of the past past experiences. I'd like the lot tremendously. Oral Health
