Brief summary
This thesis is a comparative study of the epidemiological characteristics of health-care associated bacteriuria in short and medium term of geriatrics wards in Strasbourg's University Hospital, between 2003 and 2017, in the follow-up of Eric de Pasquale's thesis in 2010. This comparative study will allow to see the evolution of urinary bacterial ecology, bacterial sensitivity to antibiotics, and the part of multi-resistant bacteria, during these 14 years in geriatric services in Strasbourg.
