Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry reveals Enterococcus and Enterobacter spp. in major insect species involved in food security with resistance to common antibiotics
(2020)Stored-product insects can transfer a wide range of serious pathogens involved in human health. The close contact of these insects with the food production chain makes these species extremely dangerous as carriers of severe ... -
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the hospitals of Central Greece
(2001)A total of 250 consecutive Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates were collected during the period 1999-2000 from the five major hospitals of the district of Thessaly (Central Greece). Thirty seven (14.8%) of the isolates ... -
Molecular Basis of Resistance to First-Line Drugs of Mycobacterium tuberculosis/canettii Strains in Greece
(2021)The aim of this study was to determine the rate and the mutations of genes involved to the first-line antituberculous drugs' resistance of M. tuberculosis/canettii isolated in Central Greece from 2010 to 2019. During 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 ... -

Nicosulfuron application in agricultural soils drives the selection towards NS-tolerant microorganisms harboring various levels of sensitivity to nicosulfuron
(2016)The action mode of sulfonylurea herbicides is the inhibition of the acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) required for the biosynthesis of amino acids valine and isoleucine in plants. However, this enzyme is also present in a ... -
Occurrence, antibiotic resistance and enteroxigenicity of Staphylococcus spp. in tonsils of slaughtered pigs in Greece
(2020)The aims of the present study were to examine the occurrence of Staphylococcus spp. in the tonsils of slaughtered pigs in a regional slaughterhouse in Greece, the antibiotic resistance of the Staphylococcus spp. isolates, ... -
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 ... -
Poultry and wild birds as a reservoir of CMY-2 producing Escherichia coli: The first large-scale study in Greece
(2021)Resistance mediated by β-lactamases is a globally spread menace. The aim of the present study was to determine the occurrence of Escherichia coli producing plasmid-encoded AmpC β-lactamases (pAmpC) in animals. Fecal samples ... -
Predominance of international clone 2 OXA-23-producing-Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates in Greece, 2015: results of a nationwide study
(2017)In a previous nationwide study in Greece, OXA-58 was the sole carbapenemase present among carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolated between 2000 and 2009. In this study, the antibiotic resistances, ... -
