Journal ArticleDOI
Pathogenic free-living amoebae: epidemiology and clinical review.
Houaida Trabelsi,F. Dendana,Amira Sellami,Hayet Sellami,Fatma Cheikhrouhou,Sourour Neji,Fattouma Makni,Abdelkarim Ayadi +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present some information about epidemiology, ecology and the types of diseases caused by free-living amoebae, such as Acanthamoeba spp., Naegleria fowleri, Balamuthia mandrillaris and Sappinia diploidea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Malassezia species from Tunisian patients with pityriasis versicolor and normal subjects
S. Ben Salah,Fattouma Makni,Slaheddine Marrakchi,Hayet Sellami,Fatma Cheikhrouhou,S. Bouassida,A. Zahaf,Abdelkarim Ayadi +7 more
TL;DR: It was suggested that M. globosa presents the main species implicated in the pathogenicity of PV and M. furfur as the second agent of importance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virulence factors, antifungal susceptibility and molecular mechanisms of azole resistance among Candida parapsilosis complex isolates recovered from clinical specimens
Sourour Neji,Inès Hadrich,Houaida Trabelsi,S. Abbes,Fatma Cheikhrouhou,Hayet Sellami,Fattouma Makni,Ali Ayadi +7 more
TL;DR: A combination of molecular mechanisms, including the overexpression of ERG11, and genes encoding efflux pumps (CDR1, MDR 1, and MRR1) were involved in azole resistance in C. parapsilosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amphotericin B in vitro resistance is associated with fatal Aspergillus flavus infection
Inès Hadrich,Fattouma Makni,Sourour Neji,Fatma Cheikhrouhou,Hatem Bellaaj,Moez Elloumi,Ali Ayadi,Stéphane Ranque +7 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that in vitro resistance predicts a poor outcome in patients with A. flavus invasive disease treated with AMB, and recent advances in non-culture-based microbiological methods should not discourage efforts to obtain in vitro antifungal susceptibility results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of dermatophytoses in Sfax, Tunisia
Sourour Neji,Fattouma Makni,Fatma Cheikhrouhou,Amira Sellami,Hayet Sellami,Slaheddine Marreckchi,Hamida Turki,Ali Ayadi +7 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of dermatophytoses remains high in this country (996 cases/year), and Trichophyton rubrum is the predominant causal agent, however, zoophilic agents become more prevalent.
