Abstract: Groundwater is a precious and essential natural resource for many uses. Its use for food or hygiene purposes requires an excellent microbiological quality to avoid waterborne diseases. The study objective as to investigate the bacteriological quality of groundwater in the “Don Bosco’’, area located at Mimboman in the city of Yaoundé. Household surveys were conducted to identify the main source of drinking water supply. After identification of the different boreholes, water samples were taken from 10 boreholes. Bacteria were isolated after filtering 100 ml of the sample from each borehole through a 0.45 µm microporosity membrane. This membrane was then deposited on the surface of agar plates incubated at 37°C and 44°C for 24 +/- 2h. After subculturing on different media, the pure bacterial isolates were identified by their cultural and biochemical characteristics. A total of 95 households were surveyed and it was found that the main source of drinking water was boreholes (65.5%). The probable sources of pollution were latrines located above the boreholes (8/10), followed by a lack of disinfection after 6 months (7/10). Bacteriological analyses showed that the borehole water consumed by the population of Don Bosco does not meet WHO standards with a non-conformity of 50% for total flora, 38.8% for total coliforms, 31.5% for faecal coliforms and 31.5% for faecal streptococci. Six (06) general and bacterial species were isolated: group D streptococci (30%), Escherichia coli (30%), Shigella (5%), Salmonella (5%), Yersinia enterocolitica (5%) and Aeromonas (5%). In this study, the detection of a variety of germs in ground water indicates that these waters are unfit for consumption. As a result, there is an urgent need to move the latrines in question and to proceed with regular and appropriate disinfection of the wells in the Don Bosco area in Mimboman district, to guarantee a life quality for the population that consumes this water.

Abstract: Context: First cause of seeking for urologic consultation in the world, chronic prostatitis is a real public health care problem. Objective: Analyze epidemioclinical aspect of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP∕CPPS) and proceed in management assessment. Patients and methods: Descriptive Prospective and analytique study about all CP/CPPS admitted in our service from 1st January 2016 to 30 October 2016. Results: Fifty fours (54) patients have been enrolled, accounting for 9.85% of our activities. Mean age: 36.24±13.44. The majorities (87, 50%) of our patients were celibataire or married, but living separated to their wife. They were doing anxiogenic and prolonged sitting activities (Car driver, Seller, Tailor). The most frequent (60%) clinical manifestation was Pelviperineal and/or testicular pain. Complaints were often associated to uretrovesical obstruction and irritation Signs, sexual dysfunction. Digital rectal examination tenderness was the only physical examination founding. We found solely 4 cases of PCB type II with E Coli as germ responsible. PCNB type IIIA was the most prevalent (48%). Systematical antibiotherapy based on quinolone using alone or in combination with azithromycin has been adopted. It’s associated to AINS, alpha blockers and anxiolytis. Therapeutic result has been evaluated during 4-6 months after treatment and was judged satisfactory (NIH-CPSI decrease of 6 points) for 72.50% patients. Conclusion: Multimodal treatment taking account to the main symptom and socioprofessional habits is the only way for good result. It necessary to found new bio markers in the aim to help for diagnostic and treatment result assessment.
