The species name got by medical microbiology diagnostics can guide the treatment in human infections. This study aim was to determine association of medical fungal and bacterial profile in pulmonary samples from patients. It’s a cross-sectional prospective study, carried out in health centers in Niamey, from October 1st, 2013 to September 30th, 2016. Several microbial strains have been isolated in association. It concerned species of the same genus or from a group of germs to another. Age, tuberculosis, smoking, chronic disease, which are numerous in our area constitute risk factor. Also difficult access to health care, insufficient respect of recommendations to fight against infections. All of those are reasons favoring associated infections in lung diseases. The association between bacteria species were 7 types. It’s predominated by that between S. aureus and P. aeruginosa with 28.60%. Three types of fungi association were reported with same frequency (33.33%). Associated infection between bacteria and fungi was observed in 23 times, or 15.45% of all isolates.
