Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus among companion and food-chain animals: impact of human contacts
(2012)Clin Microbiol Infect 2012; 18: 626634 Abstract Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), one of the major pathogens in humans, is a cause of infection and colonization among animals. The increasing number of ... -
Molecular characterization of Streptococcus agalactiae from vaginal colonization and neonatal infections: a 4-year multicenter study in Greece
(2014)A multicenter collection comprising of 171 Streptococcus agalactiae isolates from pregnant women recovered between 2007 and 2010 and 46 from unmatched neonates with invasive infections was subjected to antimicrobial ... -
Morphological and molecular analysis of bloom-forming Cyanobacteria in two eutrophic, shallow Mediterranean lakes
(2011)We investigated the diversity of Cyanobacteria by microscopic observation and sequencing of cyanobacterial-specific amplified 16S rRNA genes in the water column of two shallow, eutrophic lakes (Doirani and Kastoria, northern ... -
New aspects upon the classification of Staphylococcus intermedius
(2010)In 1976, Staphylococcus intermedius was first described as being a new species isolated from pigeons, dogs, mink and horses. Until recently, the majority of coagulase-positive staphylococci originating from animals such ... -
Occurrence, virulence genes and antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli O157 isolated from raw bovine, caprine and ovine milk in Greece
(2009)The examination of 2005 raw bovine (n = 950), caprine (n = 460) and ovine (n = 595) bulk milk samples collected throughout several regions in Greece for the presence of Escherichia coli serogroup O157 resulted in the ... -
Raphidiopsis mediterranea Skuja represents non-heterocytous life-cycle stages of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (Woloszynska) Seenayya et Subba Raju in Lake Kastoria (Greece), its type locality: Evidence by morphological and phylogenetic analysis
(2009)The taxonomical relationship of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii and Raphidiopsis mediterranea was studied by morphological and 16S rRNA gene diversity analyses of natural populations from Lake Kastoria, Greece. Samples were ... -
Resistance to erythromycin and telithromycin in Streptococcus pyogenes isolates obtained between 1999 and 2002 from Greek children with tonsillopharyngitis: Phenotypic and genotypic analysis
(2006)Since the late 1990s, the prevalence of erythromycin-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes has significantly increased in several European countries. Between January 1999 and December 2002, 1,577 isolates of S. pyogenes were ... -
Retrospective characterization of a vaccine-derived poliovirus type 1 isolate from sewage in greece
(2007)Retrospective molecular and phenotypic characterization of a vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) type 1 isolate (7/b/97) isolated from sewage in Athens, Greece, in 1997 is reported. VP1 sequencing of this isolate revealed ... -
Single-Locus-Sequence-Based Typing of bla(OXA-51-like) Genes for Rapid Assignment of Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolates to International Clonal Lineages
(2014)Single-locus bla(OXA-51-like) sequence-based typing (SBT) was evaluated for its ability to determine correctly sequence types (STs) in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates, in comparison with the Pasteur's multilocus ... -
