Investigation of Azole Resistance Involving 51A and 51B Genes in Clinical Isolates.

This study aimed to investigate azole resistance mechanisms in which involve 51A and 51B genes. Real-time Reverse Transcriptase qPCR method was applied to determine the overexpression of 51A and 51B genes for 34 isolates. PCR sequencing of these two genes was used to detect the presence of gene mutations.

Spontaneous twin pregnancy in uterus bicornis unicollis complicated with preeclampsia: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Bicornuate uterus is a uterine malformation caused by abnormal Müllerian fusion, often leading to multiple obstetric complications. A twin pregnancy in this condition is extremely rare.

Case Presentation: A 27-year-old patient (Gravida 3, Para 0) with a previous history of two spontaneous early miscarriages was diagnosed with uterus bicornis unicollis (unicervical bicornuate uterus).

First genotype identification of Trichosporon asahii in Sfax, Tunisia.

Purpose: The objectives of our study were species identification and genotyping of Trichosporon isolates collected at the Parasitology and Mycology Laboratory in Sfax, Tunisia.

Methodology: Molecular identification was carried out by analysing the IGS1 regions of the rDNA of 30 Trichosporon isolates.

Results: Trichosporon asahii was the most frequent species detected.

Analysis of virulence factors and in vivo biofilm-forming capacity of Yarrowia lipolytica isolated from patients with fungemia.

Yarrowia lipolytica is ubiquitous in the environment, opportunistic, and might be considered as one of the causative agents of catheter-related candidemia. Our work aimed to study some virulence factors of Y. lipolytica such as hydrolases production and biofilm formation with comparison to the most frequent Candida specie in human disease.

Changes in genotype and fluconazole susceptibility of isolates from patients with Candida glabrata in Tunisia.

Unlabelled: Candida glabrata has emerged as an opportunistic pathogen of considerable importance in invasive and superficial infections.

Aims: To analyze the development of fluconazole resistance in patients under treatment through epidemiological survey in our hospital.

Patients And Methods: Twenty two patients (89 clinical strains) were collected.
