The Collaborative Ocular Tuberculosis Study (COTS)-1 Report 3: Polymerase Chain Reaction in the Diagnosis and Management of Tubercular Uveitis: Global Trends
(2019)Purpose: To analyze the role of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of ocular fluids in management of tubercular (TB) anterior, intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis. Methods: In Collaborative Ocular Tuberculosis Study ... -
Diagnostic investigation for the detection of mycobacteria in samples of fish feeds and tissue from sea bream and sea bass with severe granulomatous lesions
(2022)We report on a case of a sea bass and sea bream aquaculture farm in Greece, with many incidents of severe dermal and visceral granulomatous lesions detected during routine inspection and post-mortem examination. The ... -
Molecular Basis of Resistance to First-Line Drugs of Mycobacterium tuberculosis/canettii Strains in Greece
(2021)The aim of this study was to determine the rate and the mutations of genes involved to the first-line antituberculous drugs' resistance of M. tuberculosis/canettii isolated in Central Greece from 2010 to 2019. During the ... -
Multiplex polymerase chain reaction for the detection of mycobacterial DNA in cases of tuberculosis and sarcoidosis
(1999)The aims of the present study were: (1) to design a sensitive and specific polymerase chain reaction-based method that would allow detection of most common human typical and atypical mycobacterial strains and (2) to apply ... -
Mycobacterial immunomodulation and viral manipulation of neuronal copper efflux in the setting of sporadic Parkinson's disease: A multi – hit, outside – in hypothesis of its pathogenesis
(2020)Following Braak's hypothesis on the infectious pathogenesis of sporadic Parkinson's disease (sPD), several bacteria and viruses have been investigated as likely culprits. Recent research has focused on neuroinvasive influenza ... -
Popular and unpopular infectious agents linked to primary biliary cirrhosis
(2012)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a progressive cholestatic liver disease characterized by the autoimmune destruction of the biliary epithelial cells of the small and medium-size bile ducts. The disease affects middle ... -
Role for mycobacterial infection in pathogenesis of primary biliary cirrhosis?
(2012)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a progressive cholestatic liver disease characterized by the immune-mediated destruction of biliary epithelial cells in small intrahepatic bile ducts. The disease is characterized by ... -
Shotgun metagenomics assessment of the resistome, mobilome, pathogen dynamics and their ecological control modes in full-scale urban wastewater treatment plants
(2021)The conventional activated sludge (CAS) process has limited capacity to remove pathogenic microorganisms and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), compared to membrane bioreactors (MBRs). However, the full extent of pathogenic ... -
Tuberculous pyomyositis: a re-emerging entity of many faces
(2014)Tuberculosis (TB) has become a global concern due to its increasing incidence, particularly in immunocompromised patients, closely following the migratory patterns of populations. TB pyomyositis is a rare extrapulmonary ...
