    AbstractDuring the period between the end of 1993 and the beginning of 1994 there was a large epidemic rush from severe nosocomial infection essentially in the form of septicemia. Authors implemented a classification of these epidemics and some strains were sent to the Institute Pasteur Paris for a further examination. These strains went under nuclear biology test (study of DNA plasmidic profiles and RNA ribosomal profiles) and passed through an identification by an acheiring biotypic system using 99 sources or carbones--biotype 99. These studies have shown that its about real epidemic, because the same strains were transmitted from one patient to another. This show the precarious condition of our hospital hygiene, involving the necessity of an efficient training of our health staff.
