During 2011-2013, 189 bacteria from four Moroccans regional hospitals were referred to The National Institute of Hygiene (NIH) to achieve phenotyping and genotyping. Galleries Api20E, Api20NE and Api20Sthap (bioMérieux), were used for Biochemical identification and disks distribution method was used for antibiotic susceptibility testing. Genotyping was carried out by molecular biology by search...

BACKGROUND Melioidosis is a disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei and considered endemic in South-East Asia but remains poorly documented in Cambodia. We report the first series of hospitalized pulmonary melioidosis cases identified in Cambodia describing clinical characteristics and outcomes. METHODS We characterized cases of acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) that were identifi...

INTRODUCTION The accelerated biodegradation of 3-nitrophenol (3-NP) in the rhizosphere of giant duckweed (Spirodela polyrrhiza) was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Biodegradation of 3-nitrophenol in the rhizosphere of a floating aquatic plant, S. polyrrhiza, was investigated by using three river water samples supplemented with 10 mg l(-1) of 3-NP. Isolation and enrichment culture of 3-NP-...
