Clinical isolates of macrolide-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes in Central Greece
(2003)A total of 300 Streptococcus pyogenes isolates, collected during 2001 from five hospitals in the Thessalia district (Central Greece), were examined for their resistance to macrolides. Resistance to erythromycin was detected ... -
Clonal dissemination of mupirocin-resistant staphylococci in Greek hospitals
(2004)Objectives: To determine the rates of mupirocin resistance in staphylococci during a 4 year period (1999-2002) in Greece. Materials: A total of 1200 Staphylococcus aureus and 2760 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), ... -
Dissemination of clonally unrelated erythromycin- and glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates in a tertiary Greek hospital
(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 ... -
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 ... -
Identification of human papillomavirus DNA in melanoma biopsy specimens of Greek population
(2005)The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate melanoma biopsy specimens from the Greek population living in the prefecture of Larissa for the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA and to determine the possible ... -
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 ... -
Mycobacterium arupense pulmonary infection: Antibiotic resistance and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis
(2010)Mycobacterium arupense is a novel mycobacterium species. It was first identified from clinical specimens in 2006 and since then there have been only two reports of its recovery from clinical samples. In the present case ... -
Mycobacterium thermoresistibile: Case report of a rarely isolated mycobacterium from Europe and review of literature
(2009)Mycobacterium thermoresistibile is a non-tuberculous mycobacterium strongly associated with human infections. Since 1966, there have only been six reports of its isolation from clinical samples. We report on the first case ... -
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 ... -
Report of 2 indigenous cases of leprosy from a European country: use of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of hsp65 gene for identification of Mycobacterium leprae directly from a clinical sample
(2009)In this article, we report on 2 indigenous cases of leprosy detected in a European country. We also report on the use of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of hsp65 gene for rapid ... -
Survey of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci in the hospitals of central Greece
(2001)A sample of 450 consecutive, non-replicated coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), collected from clinical specimens during the period 2000-2001 from the five major hospitals of Thessaly district (Central Greece) were ...
