Confronting carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae
(2013)The ongoing spread of carbapenemase-producing (CP) multidrug-resistant enterobacteria, primarily Klebsiella pneumoniae, has undoubtedly caused a public health crisis of unprecedented dimensions. The scientific community ... -
Cross‐Sectional Survey of Antibiotic Resistance in Extended Spectrum β‐Lactamase‐Producing Enterobacteriaceae Isolated from Pigs in Greece
(2022)This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase-producing (ESBL) bacteria in swine. Thus, 214 fecal samples were collected from suckling and weaned piglets from 34 farms in Greece (out of an ... -
Differences in sheep and goats milk microbiological profile between conventional and organic farming systems in Greece
(2017)The aim of this study was to examine differences in the microbiological profile and antimicrobial resistance of bacteria isolated from milk from organic and conventional sheep and goat farms. Twenty-five organic and 25 ... -
Emergence of a mupirocin-resistant, methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus clone associated with skin and soft tissue infections in Greece
(2021)Background: Staphylococcus aureus causes various infections, including skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). In this study, methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) from SSTIs among patients in three tertiary-care ... -
Emm Types and clusters and macrolide resistance of pediatric group A streptococcal isolates in Central Greece during 2011-2017
(2020)Background The surveillance of emm types and macrolide susceptibility of group A streptococcus (GAS) in various areas and time periods enhances the understanding of the epidemiology of GAS infections and may guide treatment ... -
ESBL-Producing Moellerella wisconsensis—The Contribution of Wild Birds in the Dissemination of a Zoonotic Pathogen
(2022)Moellerella wisconsensis is an Enterobacteriaceae with unclarified dispersion and pathogenic-ity. During an ongoing investigation about antimicrobial resistance in Greece, the occurrence of M. wisconsensis was evaluated ... -

Exposure to Stress-Dose Steroids and Lethal Septic Shock After In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Individual Patient Data Reanalysis of Two Prior Randomized Clinical Trials that Evaluated the Vasopressin–Steroids–Epinephrine Combination Versus Epinephrine Alone
(2018)Purpose: Low-dose steroids may reduce the mortality of severely ill patients with septic shock. We sought to determine whether exposure to stress-dose steroids during and/or after cardiopulmonary resuscitation is associated ... -
Extrachromosomal genetic elements detected in Escherichia coli treated with the antibacterial agents kanamycin and benzenetriol
(2013)Resistance to kanamycin was induced in Escherichia coli cells subjected to gradually increasing concentrations of the amino glycoside antibiotic kanamycin. The frequency of the appearance of resistance is not in agreement ... -
First case of Serratia liquefaciens isolated from urinary tract infection in sows and associated clinicopathological and pathological findings
(2020)An incident of sudden deaths in the breeding stock was reported from a farrow-to-finish commercial pig farm in Greece. The 8·4% of sows during lactation and gestation period presented anorexia, fever, haematuria, ... -
First description in Greece of mphC-positive staphylococci causing subclinical mastitis in Ewes
(2018)The aim of the present study was to describe the first mphC-positive staphylococci, including two Staphylococcus lentus (Sle-087lar and Sle-091lar) and one Staphylococcus xylosus (Sxy-228lar), isolated from samples of ... -
Geographical variation in therapy for bloodstream infections due to multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae: a post-hoc analysis of the INCREMENT study
(2017)We describe regional differences in therapy for bloodstream infection (BSI) caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-E) or carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE). Patients (n = ... -
Global forum: The burden of bone and joint infections: A growing demand for more resources
(2017)The rate and severity of septic complications following joint replacement surgery and the incidence of post-traumatic infections are projected to increase at a faster pace because of a tendency to operate on high-risk ... -
Health Risks of Genetically Modified Foods
(2009)As genetically modified (GM) foods are starting to intrude in our diet concerns have been expressed regarding GM food safety. These concerns as well as the limitations of the procedures followed in the evaluation of their ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
