Clonality of slime-producing methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci disseminated in the neonatal intensive care unit of a university hospital
(2006)Methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MR-CNS) (n = 132), isolated from pre-term neonates, were analysed to determine their antibiotic resistance patterns, clonal distribution, biofilm production and the ... -
Cluster of Fusarium verticillioides bloodstream infections among immunocompetent patients in an internal medicine department after reconstruction works in Larissa, Central Greece
(2014)Background: Fusarium spp. can cause disseminated infections, particularly in immuno-compromised patients. Fusarium verticillioides is a human pathogen, and sporadic cases of fusariosis have been reported. Aim: To report a ... -
Clusters of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clones producing different carbapenemases in an intensive care unit
(2008)During a 2-year period (April 2005-March 2007), 31 intensive care unit (ICU) patients in a Greek hospital were infected or colonised with imipenem-resistant isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. Twelve patients died, with ... -
Comparative study of RT23 and Merieux tuberculin tested among healthy volunteers
(2009)SETTING: Several studies have indicated considerable variability in the biological results of different tuberculin preparations in different geographical areas or even within a single region. OBJECTIVE: To compare the ... -
Complete genomic characterization of an intertypic Sabin 3/Sabin 2 capsid recombinant
(2008)The genetic properties of strain K/2002, isolated from fecal samples of a 7-month-old child who had received his first oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) dose at the age of 3 months, are described. Preliminary sequencing ... -
Complete nucleotide sequence analysis of the VP1 genomic region of Echoviruses 6 isolated from sewage in Greece revealed 98% similarity with Echoviruses 6 that were characterized from an aseptic meningitis outbreak 1 year later
(2011)The molecular characterization of two enterovirus strains (LR51A5 and LR61G3) isolated from the sewage treatment plant unit in Larissa, Greece, in May and June 2006 and the investigation of their relationship with enteroviruses ... -
Complicated urinary tract infections
(2000)The term complicated urinary tract infection is usually used to convey an infection that occurs in a patient with a structural or functional abnormality impeding urine flow, or in a host with altered defences. The distinction ... -
Confronting multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii: a review
(2011)Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDR-AB) infections are difficult to treat owing to the extremely limited armamentarium. The present review reports all available treatment options against MDR-AB, including ... -
Correlation of mutations and recombination with growth kinetics of poliovirus vaccine strains
(2010)Attenuated strains of Sabin poliovirus vaccine replicate in the human gut and, in rare cases, may cause vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP). The genetic instability of Sabin strains constitutes one of the ... -
Cross-transmission of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clonal strains causing episodes of sepsis in a trauma intensive care unit
(2008)OBJECTIVE. To investigate the mode of transmission of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains causing episodes of sepsis. SETTING. A 7-bed trauma intensive care unit (ICU) in an orthopedic hospital in Greece. ... -
CTX-M-1 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Proteus mirabilis in Greece
(2005)To examine the dissemination of CTX-M-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in clinical isolates of Proteus mirabilis, 91 nonrepetitive ESBL-producing P. mirabilis were collected from infected patients in a tertiary ... -
Current clinical, laboratory, and treatment outcome characteristics of visceral leishmaniasis: results from a seven-year retrospective study in Greece
(2015)Objectives: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is re-emerging in endemic areas. The epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, and treatment outcome characteristics in a large cohort of VL patients is described herein. Methods: The ... -

(2012)In July 2012, a confirmed case of cutaneous anthrax infection in a stockbreeder in the prefecture of Larissa, Thessaly, Central Greece was reported. The investigation revealed five related deaths in animals (two dogs and ... -
Detection of a novel variant bla(CTX-M-3) extended spectrum beta-lactamase gene in a community-acquired Escherichia coli isolate
(2006)A highly cefotaxime- and cefepime-resistant but ceftazidime-sensitive Escherichia coli isolate was recovered from a community-acquired urinary infection of a Greek patient. Susceptibility testing, transfer assays, plasmid ...
