Acinetobacter baumannii antibiotic resistance mechanisms
(2021)Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative ESKAPE microorganism that poses a threat to public health by causing severe and invasive (mostly nosocomial) infections linked with high mortality rates. During the last years, ... -
A bioinformatics analysis reveals novel pathogens as molecular mimicry triggers of systemic sclerosis
(2020)A recent bioinformatic analysis revealing dominant B cell epitopes of systemic sclerosis-specific autoantibodies, including anti-centromere B, anti-topoisomerase I and anti-fibrillarin, has demonstrated the existence of ... -
Clusters of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clones producing different carbapenemases in an intensive care unit
(2008)During a 2-year period (April 2005-March 2007), 31 intensive care unit (ICU) patients in a Greek hospital were infected or colonised with imipenem-resistant isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. Twelve patients died, with ... -
Confronting multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii: a review
(2011)Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR-AB) infections are difficult to treat owing to the extremely limited armamentarium. The present review reports all available treatment options against MDR-AB, including ... -
Control of multi-drug resistance
(2012)During the last decade, both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria that are resistant to most or all available antibacterial classes are increasingly prevalent in the nosocomial environment, particularly among ... -
Early bacterial identification among intubated patients with COVID-19 or influenza pneumonia: A european multicenter comparative clinical trial
(2021)Rationale: Early empirical antimicrobial treatment is frequently prescribed to critically ill patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) based on Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines. Objectives: We aimed to determine ... -
Global evolution of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clonal lineages
(2013)The rapid expansion of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates exhibiting resistance to carbapenems and most or all available antibiotics during the last decade is a worrying evolution. The apparent predominance of a few ... -
ICU-Associated Gram-Negative Bloodstream Infection: Risk Factors Affecting the Outcome Following the Emergence of Colistin-Resistant Isolates in a Regional Greek Hospital
(2022)Intensive care unit patients may present infections by difficult-to-treat-resistant Gram-negative microorganisms. Colistin resurfaced as a last resort antibiotic for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative ... -
Identification of multi-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii from an ICU in Greece using sequence-based typing and PFGE
(2011)Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen in many European countries, including Greece. In this study, we analysed 20 multi-resistant A. baumannii strains, derived from the First intensive ... -
Inactivation, removal, and regrowth potential of opportunistic pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes in recycled water systems
(2021)With two thirds of the global population living in areas affected by water scarcity, wastewater reuse is actively being implemented or explored by many nations. There is a need to better understand the efficacy of recycled ... -
Incidence and Risk Factors for Blood Stream Infection in Mechanically Ventilated COVID-19 Patients
(2022)It is widely known that blood stream infections (BSIs) in critically ill patients may affect mortality, length of stay, or the duration of mechanical ventilation. There is scarce data regarding blood stream infections in ... -
Intravenous colistin use for infections due to MDR Gram-negative bacilli in critically ill paediatric patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2019)Background: Data are limited regarding the clinical effectiveness and safety of intravenous colistin for treatment of infections due to MDR Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) in paediatric ICUs (PICUs). Methods: Systematic review ... -
Intraventricular CNS treatment with Colistin-Tigecycline combination: A case series
(2018)“Healthcare-associated ventriculitis and meningitis” is a potentially devastating illness following neurosurgical procedures. Multidrug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR) organisms such as Acinetobacter ... -
Is minocycline a solution for multidrugresistant Acinetobacter baumannii?
(2014)Minocycline is an old, safe, second-line antimicrobial agent that has drawn attention over the last fewyears as a possible therapeutic option against multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) clinical isolates. ... -
Molecular evidence of a broad range of pathogenic bacteria in ctenocephalides spp.: Should we re-examine the role of fleas in the transmission of pathogens?
(2021)The internal microbiome of common cat and dog fleas was studied for DNA evidence of pathogenic bacteria. Fleas were grouped in pools by parasitized animal. DNA was extracted and investigated with 16S metagenomics for ... -
Multiresistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in intensive care units in Greece
(2003)One hundred and twenty-one clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii recovered from the intensive care units (ICUs) of nine tertiary-care hospitals in Athens, Greece were studied in order to determine whether the ... -
Mutations conferring colistin resistance development in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates
(2013)The colistin resistance mechanisms in Acinetobacter baumannii are largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the characteristics and the mechanisms of colistin resistance in two genetically indistinguishable ... -
Outcomes in meningitis/ventriculitis treated with intravenous or intraventricular plus intravenous colistin
(2016)Background: The aim of this work is to evaluate the outcome of patients treated with intrathecal colistin for meningitis/ventriculitis. Methods: This retrospective case series study included patients presenting with ... -
Pre-intensive care unit intubation and subsequent delayed intensive care unit admission is independently associated with increased occurrence of ventilator-associated pneumonia
(2018)Introduction: Critically ill intubated patients are at risk for ventilator-associated pneumonia. However, intubation may not occur in intensive care unit (ICU) and subsequent ICU admission may be delayed. Objectives: To ... -
Predominance of international clone 2 OXA-23-producing-Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates in Greece, 2015: results of a nationwide study
