The Evolution of the Antimicrobial Resistance of in Tunisia: A Multicentric Analysis over Two Decades (2000-2019).

: is a leading respiratory pathogen responsible for significant morbidity and mortality, particularly among vulnerable populations. Understanding its antimicrobial resistance patterns and serotype distribution is crucial for guiding treatment and prevention strategies. This study aims to examine these trends in isolates from Tunisia over a two-decade period (2000-2019).

Invasive Infections in Children in Vaccine Era: Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization Tunis, Tunisia.

The changing epidemiological profile of invasive infections (IIHi) is noted in the post-vaccination era. The aim of this study was to characterize phenotypically and genotypically invasive (Hi) isolates detected in Tunisian pediatric patients. A retrospective study was conducted in the microbiology laboratory of the Children's Hospital of Tunis over ten years (2013-2023).

Accurate identification of Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae and other mitis group Streptococci identified as atypical Streptococcus pneumoniae in Tunisian pediatric population.

Accurate identification of Mitis group streptococci especially Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae seems difficult due to the lack of specific and sensitive tests. We performed an approach for the identification of atypical pneumococci in pediatric Tunisian population. In this study, 49 streptococcal isolates that were considered as atypical S.

Epidemiological study of bacterial meningitis in Tunisian children, beyond neonatal age, using molecular methods: 2014-2017.

Background: Since the 1990s, the epidemiology of bacterial meningitis worldwide has changed thanks to vaccination. In Tunisia, the main causative pathogens were and serotype b (Hib). Only Hib vaccination was available during our study period.
