Bloodstream infections and sepsis in Greece: Over-time change of epidemiology and impact of de-escalation on final outcome
(2014)Background: Choice of empirically prescribed antimicrobials for sepsis management depends on epidemiological factors. The epidemiology of sepsis in Greece was studied in two large-periods.Methods: Sepsis due to bloodstream ... -
Direct detection of Clostridium sordellii in pleural fluid of a patient with pneumonic empyema by a broad-range 16S rRNA PCR
(2007)We report the case of a 56-y-old male admitted with a left-sided post-pneumonic empyema. Clostridium sordellii DNA was directly detected in its pleural fluid by a broad-range 16S rRNA PCR, after 24 h of specimen collection. ... -
Novel molecular techniques for the identification of the members of Brucellaceae family
(2006)An account is presented of an attempt to identify a multiresistant, gram-negative bacterium that was isolated from raw sewage in Cyprus. The API 2ONE system was initially used to identify the strain on the basis of its ... -
VIM-1 metallo-β-lactamase in Acinetobacter baumannii
(2006)In 2004 and 2005, 5 metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-positive Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were found in 2 Greek hospitals. Isolates were unrelated and carried blaVIM-1 in a class 1 integron; blaOXA-51- and blaOXA-58-like ... -
VIM-12, a novel plasmid-mediated metallo-β-lactamase from Klebsiella pneumoniae that resembles a VIM-1/VIM-2 hybrid
(2005)A transferable plasmid from Klebsiella pneumoniae carried a class 1 integron containing blaVIM-12, a novel blaVIM-type gene, flanked by two copies of aacA7. blaVIM-12 was clustered between bla-VIM-1 and bla-VIM-2 and ...
