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 Agent Susceptibility and Typing of Staphylococcal Isolates from Subclinical Mastitis in Ewes
(2019)Objective was to study susceptibility to antimicrobial agents of 142 staphylococcal isolates from subclinical mastitis in ewes. In total, 41.5% of these were resistant and 5.6% multidrug resistant. More coagulase-negative ... -
Applied proteomics in companion animal medicine
(2016)Background: Proteomics in companion animal medicine has been used chiefly, in order to identify proteins, which may be used as biomarkers for early diagnosis of a variety of pathological conditions, as well as to elucidate ... -
Daptomycin Use in Children: Experience with Various Types of Infection and Age Groups
(2017)Background: In Greece, there are high rates of methicillin (40%-60%) and clindamycin (15%-25%) resistance among community-acquired Staphylococcus aureus isolates. Therefore, we sought to identify other antimicrobial treatment ... -
Daptomycin use in patients with osteomyelitis: A preliminary report from the EU-CORESM database
(2013)Background: Osteomyelitis is a complex and heterogeneous group of infections that require surgical and antimicrobial interventions. Because treatment failure or intolerance is common, new treatment options are needed. ... -

Emergence of a mupirocin-resistant, methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus clone associated with skin and soft tissue infections in Greece
(2021)Background: Staphylococcus aureus causes various infections, including skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). In this study, methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) from SSTIs among patients in three tertiary-care ... -
Evaluation of efficacy of a biofilm-embedded bacteria-based vaccine against staphylococcal mastitis in sheep—A randomized, placebo-controlled field study
(2019)Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of a vaccine against staphylococcal mastitis in 5 dairy sheep farms, with 316 ewes in the vaccinated (V) group and 307 in the control (C) group studied throughout a lactation ... -
Experimental study for evaluation of the efficacy of a biofilm-embedded bacteria-based vaccine against Staphylococcus chromogenes-associated mastitis in sheep
(2019)Although coagulase-negative staphylococci are the primary aetiological agents of subclinical mastitis in ewes, there is little information regarding vaccination against that infection. The objective of this study was to ... -
Extensive countrywide field investigation of subclinical mastitis in sheep in Greece
(2018)The objectives of this work were (1) to investigate prevalence of subclinical mastitis, (2) to identify etiological agents involved, and (3) to study factors potentially predisposing ewes to subclinical mastitis. Milk ... -
Field evidence for association between increased gastrointestinal nematode burden and subclinical mastitis in dairy sheep
(2019)The objective of the present study was to study, under field conditions, potential associations between gastrointestinal nematode parasitism and subclinical mastitis in ewes during the lactation period. Faecal and milk ... -
First description in Greece of mphC-positive staphylococci causing subclinical mastitis in Ewes
(2018)The aim of the present study was to describe the first mphC-positive staphylococci, including two Staphylococcus lentus (Sle-087lar and Sle-091lar) and one Staphylococcus xylosus (Sxy-228lar), isolated from samples of ... -
Initial Immune Response in Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans Bacteremia
(2020)Sepsis remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide and is characterized by sustained inflammatory responses, reflected as changes in the expression profile of cytokines with time. The aim of the present study was to ... -
Isolation and characterization of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from milk of dairy goats under low-input farm management in Greece
(2020)The presence of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in raw milk is a challenge for veterinarians and public health professionals. In this study, we investigated the presence and clonality of ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
