Activity of tigecycline alone and in combination with colistin and meropenem against Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae strains by time-kill assay
Pournaras, S.; Vrioni, G.; Neou, E.; Dendrinos, J.; Dimitroulia, E.; Poulou, A.; Tsakris, A. (2011)Antibiotic combinations including tigecycline have not been studied against Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing pathogens. Tigecycline alone and combined with colistin and meropenem was tested against eight ... -
Clonal spread of KPC-2 carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains in Greece
Pournaras, S.; Protonotariou, E.; Voulgari, E.; Kristo, I.; Dimitroulia, E.; Vitti, D.; Tsalidou, M.; Maniatis, A. N.; Tsakris, A.; Sofianou, D. (2009)KPC-possessing Klebsiella pneumoniae have been found to be widespread in several regions but are still rarely detected in Europe. We describe the characteristics of an outbreak caused by KPC producers in a tertiary care ... -
Comparative evaluation of colistin susceptibility testing methods among carbapenem-nonsusceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates
Dafopoulou, K.; Zarkotou, O.; Dimitroulia, E.; Hadjichristodoulou, C.; Gennimata, V.; Pournaras, S.; Tsakris, A. (2015)We compared six colistin susceptibility testing (ST) methods on 61 carbapenem-nonsusceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 41) and Acinetobacter baumannii (n = 20) clinical isolates with provisionally elevated colistin MICs ... -
Dissemination of clonally unrelated erythromycin- and glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates in a tertiary Greek hospital
Maniatis, A. N.; Pournaras, S.; Kanellopoulou, M.; Kontos, F.; Dimitroulia, E.; Papafrangas, E.; Tsakris, A. (2001)Between September 1999 to February 2001, 25 glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus faecium (GRE) isolates were recovered from a Greek hospital. The isolates exhibited 13 distinct chromosomal macrorestriction types by pulsed-field ... -
Intensive care unit dissemination of multiple clones of linezolid-resistant Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium
Ntokou, E.; Stathopoulos, C.; Kristo, I.; Dimitroulia, E.; Labrou, M.; Vasdeki, A.; Makris, D.; Zakynthinos, E.; Tsakris, A.; Pournaras, S. (2012)Outbreaks caused by linezolid-resistant (LR) enterococci remain rare. We report the epidemiological and molecular characteristics of the multiclonal dissemination of LR enterococci in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a ... -
Single-Locus-Sequence-Based Typing of bla(OXA-51-like) Genes for Rapid Assignment of Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolates to International Clonal Lineages
Pournaras, S.; Gogou, V.; Giannouli, M.; Dimitroulia, E.; Dafopoulou, K.; Tsakris, A.; Zarrilli, R. (2014)Single-locus bla(OXA-51-like) sequence-based typing (SBT) was evaluated for its ability to determine correctly sequence types (STs) in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates, in comparison with the Pasteur's multilocus ... -
Trends in antimicrobial resistance of clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium in Greece between 2002 and 2007
Protonotariou, E.; Dimitroulia, E.; Pournaras, S.; Pitiriga, V.; Sofianou, D.; Tsakris, A. (2010)We analysed trends in antimicrobial resistance of Enterococcus faecalis (N = 1498) and E. faecium (N = 625) recovered from clinical infections during 2002-2007 in a Greek tertiary care hospital. Molecular assays were used ...
