Clusters of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clones producing different carbapenemases in an intensive care unit
Tsakris, A.; Ikonomidis, A.; Poulou, A.; Spanakis, N.; Vrizas, D.; Diomidous, M.; Pournaras, S.; Markou, F. (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 ... -
Dissemination of Clinical Isolates of Klebsiella oxytoca Harboring CMY-31, VIM-1, and a New OXY-2-Type Variant in the Community
Tsakris, A.; Poulou, A.; Markou, F.; Pitiriga, V.; Piperaki, E. T.; Kristo, I.; Pournaras, S. (2011)The aim of the present study was to investigate the epidemiological link of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella oxytoca isolates causing community-onset infections among patients attending our outpatient department and to ... -
Emergence of carbapenem-resistant enterobacter cloacae carrying VIM-4 metallo-beta-lactamase and SHV-2a extended-spectrum beta-lactamase in a conjugative plasmid
Ikonomidis, A.; Spanakis, N.; Poulou, A.; Pournaras, S.; Markou, F.; Tsakris, A. (2007)Enterobacter cloacae strains are still infrequently resistant to carbapenems. A carbapenem-resistant clinical isolate of E. cloacae producing a plasmid-mediated metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL), VIM-4, was recovered from a ... -
First occurrence of KPC-2-possessing Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Greek hospital and recommendation for detection with boronic acid disc tests
Tsakris, A.; Kristo, I.; Poulou, A.; Markou, F.; Ikonomidis, A.; Pournaras, S. (2008)To investigate the first KPC carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate from a Greek hospital, including phenotypic methods to aid recognition of this resistance type. A carbapenem-resistant clinical isolate of ... -
Large Dissemination of VIM-2-Metallo-beta-Lactamase-Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains Causing Health Care-Associated Community-Onset Infections
Tsakris, A.; Poulou, A.; Kristo, I.; Pittaras, T.; Spanakis, N.; Pournaras, S.; Markou, F. (2009)During a 3-year period (May 2005 to April 2008), a series of 45 outpatients presented with community-onset urinary tract infections due to carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. Forty of them had a history ... -
Recurrent healthcare-associated community-onset infections due to Klebsiella pneumoniae producing VIM-1 metallo-beta-lactamase
Poulou, A.; Spanakis, N.; Pournaras, S.; Pitiriga, V.; Ranellou, K.; Markou, F.; Tsakris, A. (2010)To investigate the extrahospital dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates and the mechanisms of acquired resistance. Patients who were referred to the outpatient department of Serres General ... -
Transmission in the community of clonal Proteus mirabilis carrying VIM-1 metallo-beta-lactamase
Tsakris, A.; Ikonomidis, A.; Poulou, A.; Spanakis, N.; Pournaras, S.; Markou, F. (2007)Objectives: Several infections among patients attending our outpatient clinic were caused by imipenem-resistant Proteus mirabilis that were phenotypically metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-positive. The aim of the study was to ...
