Molecular characterization of from diabetic foot infections in Tunisia.

is an invasive organism that frequently causes severe tissue damage in diabetic foot ulcers. The characterisation of P. aeruginosa strains isolated from diabetic foot infections has not been carried out in Tunisia.

Surveillance of from Diabetic Foot Infections in a Tunisian Hospital: Detection of ST131- and -ST1- Strains.

The study determined the prevalence, antimicrobial resistant (AMR) determinants, and genetic characteristics of and isolates from patients with diabetic foot infection (DFI) in a Tunisian hospital. A total of 26 spp. and spp.

Methicillin-Resistant from Diabetic Foot Infections in a Tunisian Hospital with the First Detection of MSSA CC398-t571.

This study sought to analyze the antimicrobial resistant phenotypes and genotypes as well as the virulence content of isolates recovered from patients with diabetic foot infections (DFIs) in a Tunisian hospital. Eighty-three clinical samples of 64 patients were analyzed, and bacterial isolates were identified by MALDI-TOF. The antimicrobial resistance phenotypes were determined by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion susceptibility test.

[Ambulatory blood pressure measurement and control in hypertensive diabetic patients].

Background: Good blood pressure control is one of the recommended targets in diabetic patient's management.

Aim: To evaluate blood pressure (BP) control in hypertensive treated diabetic patients using ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM).

Methods: Two hundred and six hypertensive treated diabetic patients were enrolled in this study (83 men and 123 women).

[Role of visceral obesity in metabolic disorders associated with hyperandrogenia in hirsute women].

The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between the importance of visceral fat measured by tomodensitometry and the metabolic disturbances in hirsute women. It is a prospective study where 52 women were explored for hirsutism. They underwent a clinical and biological examination, as well as an abdominal tomodensitometry at the 4th and 5th lumbar spine level to measure the area of visceral fat (VF) and sub-cutaneous fat (ScF).
