title: Case of fatal congenital toxoplasmosis associated with I/III recombinant genotype.
abstract: We report a case of fatal congenital toxoplasmosis case in Tunis (North of Tunisia)   associated with I/III recombinant genotype. The Toxoplasma gondii strain was isolated from   placenta and characterized molecularly by a multilocus typing (3'SAG2, 5'SAG2, SAG3, AK69,   APICO, and UPRT1) and a sulfadiazine resistance mutation analysis. The isolate was shown   to be a wild drug sensitive I/III recombinant strain.
