Discordance of meropenem versus imipenem activity against Acinetobacter baumannii
Ikonomidis, A.; Pournaras, S.; Maniatis, A. N.; Legakis, N. J.; Tsakris, A. (2006) -
Evaluation of an anti-PBP 2a slide latex agglutination test in coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated in Greek hospitals
Petinaki, E.; Miriagou, V.; Tzouvelekis, L. S.; Hatzi, F.; Legakis, N. J.; Maniatis, A. N. (2002)Oxacillin resistance was examined in 258 coagulase-negative staphylococci from Greek hospitals. mecA DNA was detected in 168 isolates, which were also resistant to oxacillin by agar dilution and disk diffusion, according ... -
Multiresistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in intensive care units in Greece
Maniatis, A. N.; Pournaras, S.; Orkopoulou, S.; Tassios, P. T.; Legakis, N. J. (2003)One hundred and twenty-one clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii recovered from the intensive care units (ICUs) of nine tertiary-care hospitals in Athens, Greece were studied in order to determine whether the ... -
Mupirocin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus from Greek hospitals
Maniatis, N.; Agel, A.; Legakis, N. J.; Tzouvelekis, L. S. (2001) -
Outbreak of multiple clones of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates expressing OXA-58 carbapenemase in an intensive care unit
Pournaras, S.; Markogiannakis, A.; Ikonomidis, A.; Kondyli, L.; Bethimouti, K.; Maniatis, A. N.; Legakis, N. J.; Tsakris, A. (2006)Objectives: To investigate the resistance mechanisms and the genetic relationship of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates recovered in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary care hospital. Methods: ... -
Spread of efflux pump-overexpressing, non-metallo-beta-lactamase-producing, meropenem-resistant but ceftazidime-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a region with bla(VIM) endemicity
Pournaras, S.; Maniati, M.; Spanakis, N.; Ikonomidis, A.; Tassios, P. T.; Tsakris, A.; Legakis, N. J.; Maniatis, A. N. (2005)Objectives: To investigate the resistance mechanisms of meropenem-resistant, ceftazidime-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, in a clinical setting where VIM-2 or VIM-4 metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-producing ... -
Spread of non-metallo-beta-lactamase-producing highly meropenem resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a region with bla(vim)-endemicity
Maniati, M.; Pournaras, S.; Tassios, P. T.; Tsakris, A.; Legakis, N. J.; Maniatis, A. N. (2004) -
VIM-1 metallo-beta-lactamase in Acinetobacter baumannii
Tsakris, A.; Ikonomidis, A.; Pournaras, S.; Tzouvelekis, L. S.; Sofianou, D.; Legakis, N. J.; Maniatis, A. N. (2006)In 2004 and 2005, 5 metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-positive Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were found in 2 Greek hospitals. Isolates were unrelated and carried bla(VIM-1) in a class 1 integron; bla(OXA-51-) and bla(OXA-58-like) ... -

VIM-12, a novel plasmid-mediated metallo-β-lactamase from Klebsiella pneumoniae that resembles a VIM-1/VIM-2 hybrid
Pournaras, S.; Ikonomidis, A.; Tzouvelekis, L. S.; Tokatlidou, D.; Spanakis, N.; Maniatis, A. N.; Legakis, N. J.; Tsakris, A. (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 ...
