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, ... -
Antimicrobial resistance genes in ESBL-producing escherichia coli isolates from animals in Greece
(2021)The prevalence of multidrug resistant, extended spectrum -lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae is increasing worldwide. The present study aimed to provide an overview of the multidrug resistance phenotype and ... -
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 ... -
Complicated septic arthritis after knee arthroscopy in a 75-year-old man with osteoarthritis and a popliteal cyst
(2015)A 75-year-old man presented in shock secondary to septic arthritis of the knee. The patient, with a known history of knee osteoarthritis, was treated elsewhere for mechanical locking symptoms and effusion with arthroscopic ... -
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 ... -
Direct detection of Cardiobacterium hominis in serum from a patient with infective endocarditis by broad-range bacterial PCR
(2006)Bacterial DNA was detected directly to the serum of a patient with endocarditis by broad-range 16S rRNA PCR followed by sequencing and analysis of the results by the BLAST search. Using these methods, Cardiobacterium hominis ... -
Direct detection of Clostridium sordellii in pleural fluid of a patient with pneumonic empyema by a broad-range 16S rRNA PCR
(2007)We report the case of a 56-y-old male admitted with a left-sided post-pneumonic empyema. Clostridium sordellii DNA was directly detected in its pleural fluid by a broad-range 16S rRNA PCR, after 24 h of specimen collection. ... -
First reported isolation of an emerging opportunistic pathogen (Elizabethkingia anophelis) from hospital water systems in Greece
(2018)After the Elizabethkingia anophelis outbreak in Wisconsin, USA, an active search for the detection of the microorganism in hospital water systems from Central and Northern Greece was performed from June to December 2016. ... -
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 = ... -
Letter to the Editor: Importation of the First Bovine ST361 New Delhi Metallo-5 Positive Escherichia coli in Greece

Novel molecular techniques for the identification of the members of Brucellaceae family
(2006)An account is presented of an attempt to identify a multiresistant, gram-negative bacterium that was isolated from raw sewage in Cyprus. The API 2ONE system was initially used to identify the strain on the basis of its ... -
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, ... -
Pulmonary infection by Rhodococcus equi presenting with positive Ziehl-Neelsen stain in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus: A case report
(2014)Introduction: Patients with human immunodeficiency virus carry a significant risk of contracting opportunistic infections. The worldwide increased incidence of tuberculosis has instituted pulmonary tuberculosis as an ... -
VIM-1 metallo-β-lactamase in Acinetobacter baumannii
(2006)In 2004 and 2005, 5 metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-positive Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were found in 2 Greek hospitals. Isolates were unrelated and carried blaVIM-1 in a class 1 integron; blaOXA-51- and blaOXA-58-like ... -
VIM-12, a novel plasmid-mediated metallo-β-lactamase from Klebsiella pneumoniae that resembles a VIM-1/VIM-2 hybrid
(2005)A transferable plasmid from Klebsiella pneumoniae carried a class 1 integron containing blaVIM-12, a novel blaVIM-type gene, flanked by two copies of aacA7. blaVIM-12 was clustered between bla-VIM-1 and bla-VIM-2 and ...
