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 ... -
Ceftazidime/avibactam in the era of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae: Experience from a national registry study
(2021)Background: Infections caused by KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) are associated with high mortality. Therefore, new treatment options are urgently required. Objectives: To assess the outcomes and predictors of ... -
The clinical significance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae rectal colonization in critically ill patients: From colonization to bloodstream infection
(2019)Purpose. To highlight the clinical significance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) rectal colonization by examining the risk factors for CRKP rectal colonization and subsequent bloodstream infection (BSI) ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Fast-resorbable antibiotic-loaded hydrogel coating to reduce post-surgical infection after internal osteosynthesis: a multicenter randomized controlled trial
(2017)Background: Infection is one of the main reasons for failure of orthopedic implants. Antibacterial coatings may prevent bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, according to various preclinical studies. The aim of the ... -
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 = ... -
Intraventricular CNS treatment with Colistin-Tigecycline combination: A case series
(2018)“Healthcare-associated ventriculitis and meningitis” is a potentially devastating illness following neurosurgical procedures. Multidrug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR) organisms such as Acinetobacter ... -
Isolation of a bacterial consortium able to degrade the fungicide thiabendazole: the key role of a Sphingomonas phylotype
(2017)Thiabendazole (TBZ) is a fungicide used in fruit-packaging plants. Its application leads to the production of wastewaters requiring detoxification. In the absence of efficient treatment methods, biological depuration of ... -

(2021)The epidemiology of Staphylococcus spp., Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA among veterinary students in Greece during 2017-2018 is reported. Nasal swabs and a standardized questionnaire from 160 healthy veterinary students ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
