Staphylococcus epidermidis strains play an important role in nosocomial infections, especially the ones associated with biofilm formation on medical devices. The paper was aimed at analyzing mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and confirming biofilm-forming ability among S. isolated from blood hospitalized newborns. Genetic analysis mechanism determinants included multiplex PCR detection mecA, ermA, ermB, ermC, msrA, mef genes. Biofilm comprised phenotypic genotypic methods including Christensen Freeman icaADB gene complex. Among tested strains, 89% isolates were resistant to methicillin, 67%—to erythromycin, 53%—to clindamycin, 63%—to gentamicin, 23%—to teicoplanin, while all susceptible vancomycin linezolid. mecA detected isolates, ermC most common present 56% msrA observed 11% isolates. Eighty-five percent described as biofilm-positive by carried cluster. Multidrug may contribute antimicrobial therapy failure (p < 0.05).

In spite of the epidemiological transition, communicable diseases remain a public health problem and represent significant cause morbidity mortality worldwide, especially in developing countries. This study aimed to determine crude standardized prevalence rates hospitalizations for disease (HCD) assess trends HCD by age sex at university hospital Tunisia over period 12 years (2002-2013).All cases from 2002 2013 departments were included. Data collected regional register used. The discharge diagnoses coded according International Classification Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10).HCD represented 17.45% all during (34 289/196 488; 95% confidence interval 17.28-17.62%). median time admission was 31 (interquartile range (IQR) 15-52 years). length stay (LOS) 5days (IQR 3-9 days). rate (CPR) 5.41 per 1000 inhabitants. CPR highest among patients aged ≥65 years. four categories that 70% abdominal infection, skin genitourinary lower respiratory tract infection. majority decreased time; however, there increase HIV diseases, tuberculosis, viral hepatitis.This provides evidence showing decline which needs be sustained improved.
