Description
Summary:According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 1.4 million patients develop a HAI every day and 5 to 10% of patients in developed-country hospitals contract one or more infections [9]. According to another study conducted at Ibn Rochd University Hospital in Casablanca, GNB reached 73.5% and Gram-positive cocci (GPC) represented 26.5% of the isolated organisms, which is similar to our study's results [34]. [...]Staphylococcus sp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the most incriminated bacteria in nosocomial infections in the intensive care unit of burns at the Military Hospital of Rabat [39]. The role of the environment in the occurrence of HAI is poorly documented except for environmental microorganisms (aspergillosis, legionellosis) [52]. [...]identification of the environmental sources involved in HAI development is essential to control the risk of infection related to the hospital environment and to protect users.
