Analysis of seawater microbiological quality data in Greece from 1997 to 2006: association of risk factors with bacterial indicators
(2009)This study deals with the examination of quality of seawater bathing areas in Greece over a 10-year period and identifies risk factors for high bacteria indicator organism concentrations. Qualitative descriptive analysis ... -
Banana: cultivars, biotechnological approaches and genetic transformation
(2008)Genetic modification of banana has been considered as a path towards increasing the value of this crop according to health and nutrition in developing countries. Banana as a crop is one of the most important and widely ... -
Effects of Systemic Pesticides Imidacloprid and Metalaxyl on the Phyllosphere of Pepper Plants
(2013)Microbes inhabiting the phyllosphere of crops are exposed to pesticides applied either directly onto plant foliage or indirectly through soil. Although, phyllosphere microbiology has been rapidly evolving, little is still ... -
Efficacy of an inactivated aqueous vaccine for the control of enzootic pneumonia in pigs infected with Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae
(2007)The efficacy of an inactivated aqueous vaccine against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae was evaluated at two M hyopneumoniae-infected farrow-to-finish commercial farms (A and B) in Greece. In a prospective, randomised double-blind ... -
Evaluation of a novel method based on PCR Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis of the tuf gene for the identification of Staphylococcus species
(2003)A novel method, based on PCR Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis (PRA) of a part of the tuf gene (370 bp), was designed for the identification of 11 staphylococcal species, including the most common staphylococcal ... -
Evaluation of underreporting of salmonellosis and shigellosis hospitalised cases in Greece, 2011: results of a capture-recapture study and a hospital registry review
(2013)Background: Salmonellosis and shigellosis are mandatorily notifiable diseases in Greece. Underreporting of both diseases has been postulated but there has not been any national study to quantify it. The objective of this ... -
Molecular detection of the entomopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas entomophila using PCR
(2010)Aims: To develop a specific, fast and simple molecular method useful to detect the entomopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas entomophila. Methods and Results: The use of bioinformatics tools allowed the identification of ... -
Outbreak of infections caused by Enterobacter cloacae producing the integron-associated beta-lactamase IBC-1 in a neonatal intensive care unit of a Greek hospital
(2002)Nineteen of 27 ceftazidime-resistant Enterobacter cloacae isolates from a neonatal intensive care unit in Thessaloniki, Greece, had genes coding for the novel extended-spectrum beta-lactamase IBC-1; 18 of those 19 harbored ... -
Successful control of a neonatal outbreak caused mainly by ST20 multidrug-resistant SHV-5-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, Greece
(2014)Background: Extended spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-Kp) infection can cause significant morbidity and mortality in neonates. We investigated a nosocomial ESBL-Kp outbreak in a neonatal intensive ... -
Wildlife diseases that pose a risk to small ruminants and their farmers
(2013)Infectious pathogens from wild animals have become increasingly important throughout the world in recent years, as they have had a substantial impact in livestock and human health. A large number of pathogens (61% of the ...
