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, ... -
Antibacterial and antioxidant activity of different types of honey derived from Mount Olympus in Greece
(2018)The aim of the present study was to examine the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of 21 types of honey derived from Mount Olympus (Mt. Olympus), a region with great plant biodiversity. The antibacterial activity was ... -
Antimicrobial activity of bee-collected pollen and beebread: State of the art and future perspectives
(2020)Bee-collected pollen (BCP) is a well-known functional food. Honey bees process the collected pollen and store it in the hive, inside the comb cells. The processed pollen is called beebread or ambrosia and it is the main ... -
Antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of various Greek garlic genotypes
(2018)Recent studies show a significant variation in antioxidant and antimicrobial properties between the various garlic genotypes mostly due to differences in chemical composition and bioactive compounds content. The aim of the ... -
Biological properties of bee bread collected from apiaries located across Greece
(2021)Bee bread is the only fermented product of the beehive. It constitutes the main source of proteins, lipids, vitamins, and macro-and microelements in honeybee nutrition and it exerts antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, ... -
Carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa from central Greece: molecular epidemiology and genetic analysis of class I integrons
(2013)Background: Multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a serious challenge for antimicrobial therapy of nosocomial infections, as it possesses several mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. In Central Greece, a sudden ... -
Comparative analysis of the core proteomes among the Pseudomonas major evolutionary groups reveals species-specific adaptations for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas chlororaphis
(2020)The Pseudomonas genus includes many species living in diverse environments and hosts. It is important to understand which are the major evolutionary groups and what are the genomic/proteomic components they have in common ... -
Comparative epidemiological study of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates during two time periods in a tertiary care hospital
(2014)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a nosocomial pathogen of clinical importance carrying virulence and antibiotic resistance determinants. In the present study, phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of P. aeruginosa isolates ... -
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 ... -
Development of a single-tube polymerase chain reaction assay for the simultaneous detection of Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus spp. directly in clinical samples
(2009)This study describes the development and evaluation of a multiplex single-tube polymerase chain reaction assay for the simultaneous detection of Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and ... -
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 ... -
Efflux system overexpression and decreased OprD contribute to the carbapenem heterogeneity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(2008)Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains exhibiting a heterogeneous mode of growth against carbapenems have been described recently. This study investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms in four genetically unrelated P. ... -
Hemorrhagic pneumonia in neonatal minks in Greece concomitant with Leismania infantum detection
(2018)In the present study a severe outbreak of hemorrhagic pneumonia (HP) in neonatal minks concomitant with Leismania infantum (L. infantum) detection is reported. The outbreak took place on a Greek mink farm and affected 1,362 ... -
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 ... -
Intra-Abdominal Hypertension Causes Bacterial Growth in Lungs: An Animal Study
(2017)To study the effect of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) on the frequency of pneumonia with an experimental study, thirteen Sprague-Dawley rats were included. Eight out of thirteen animals were randomly assigned to receive ... -
Investigation and functional enrichment analysis of the human host interaction network with common gram-negative respiratory pathogens predicts possible association with lung adenocarcinoma
(2021)Haemophilus influenzae (Hi), Moraxella catarrhalis (MorCa) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Psa) are three of the most common gram-negative bacteria responsible for human respiratory diseases. In this study, we aimed to identify, ... -
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 ... -
Overlapping host pathways between SARS-CoV-2 and its potential copathogens: An in silico analysis
(2020)Background: SARS-CoV-2 coinfection with other viral and bacterial pathogens and their interactions are increasingly recognized in the literature as potential determinants of COVID-19 phenotypes. The aim of this study was ... -
