With the aim of testing the feasibility of a multiresistant bacteria (MRB) surveillance methodology and evaluating the level of antimicrobial resistance and dissemination of resistant pathogens in the Mediterranean area, a pilot study was carried out in nine university hospitals in Algeria, Tunisia and France. The results indicate that third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae comprise the major MRB in Algerian and Tunisian hospitals. In France, the highest incidence rates were found for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, while in Tunisian hospitals, imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii seems to be a particularly prevalent organism. Although the data were not representative of the participating countries as a whole, the results show the importance and ubiquity of the problem in the area and the feasibility of surveillance.

The paper highlights the need to clarify the definition of ''psychic capacities'' and the difficulty in distinguishing between improved capacity and improved functioning. Before considering whether it is legally permissible to undertake an intervention on psychic capacities, and if so under what conditions, it is necessary to consider whether such an intervention is ethically appropriate. If the intervention is ethically appropriate, whether it is legally permissible according to the instruments of the Council of Europe will depend on the person's status (for example, whether the person is an adult or a child, or able or not able to give consent), the type of intervention proposed, and in certain cases the type of material used in the intervention. The paper discusses the regulations that are relevant to these different situations.Zusammenfassung Dieser Beitrag unterstreicht die Notwendigkeit, die Definition des Begriffs ''psychische Fa¨higkeiten'' zu kla¨ren, und die Schwierigkeit, zwischen verbesserten Fa¨higkeiten und verbesserter Funktion zu unterscheiden. Bevor wir ero¨rtern, ob ein Eingriff in psychische Fa¨higkeiten rechtlich zula¨ssig ist und, wenn ja, unter welchen Bedingungen, mu¨ssen wir u¨berlegen, ob eine solche Intervention ethisch angemessen ist. Wenn das der Fall ist, ha¨ngt die rechtliche Zula¨ssigkeit, entsprechend den Instrumenten des Europa¨ischen Rates, vom Status der betroffenen Person ab (zum Beispiel, ob es sich um einen Erwachsen oder ein Kind handelt), von der Art des Eingriffs, der zur Debatte steht, und in bestimmten Fa¨llen dem Material, das bei diesem Eingriff benutzt wird. Der Beitrag behandelt die Vorschriften, die in diesen unterschiedlichen Situationen zum Tragen kommen.Re´sume´Cet article met en lumie`re le besoin de clarifier la de´finition des « capacite´s psychiques » et la difficulte´a`faire la diffe´rence entre capacite´am-e´liore´e et fonctionnement ame´liore´. Avant de de´cider s'il est le´galement licite d'intervenir sur les capacite´s psychiques, et si oui, dans quelles conditions, il est ne´cessaire de se demander si une telle intervention est justifie´e du point de vue e´thique. La question de savoir si une intervention est approprie´e du point de vue e´thique et si elle est le´galement licite en vertu des instruments du Conseil de l'Europe, de´pend du statut de la personne (si la personne est un adulte ou un enfant, si elle est capable ou non de donner son consentement, etc.), du type d'intervention envisage´, et dans certains cas du type de mate´riel utilise´pour l'intervention. L'article examine les re´glementations qui s'appliquent a`ces diffe´rentes situations.
