Bloodstream infections and sepsis in Greece: Over-time change of epidemiology and impact of de-escalation on final outcome
(2014)Background: Choice of empirically prescribed antimicrobials for sepsis management depends on epidemiological factors. The epidemiology of sepsis in Greece was studied in two large-periods.Methods: Sepsis due to bloodstream ... -
Clinical Experience with Daptomycin for the Treatment of Gram-positive Infections in Children and Adolescents
(2016)Background: This subgroup analysis of the European Cubicin Outcomes Registry Experience evaluated the safety and effectiveness of daptomycin in children and adolescent patients (<18 years). Methods: Clinical outcomes at ... -
The clinical significance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae rectal colonization in critically ill patients: From colonization to bloodstream infection
(2019)Purpose. To highlight the clinical significance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) rectal colonization by examining the risk factors for CRKP rectal colonization and subsequent bloodstream infection (BSI) ... -
The current evidence regarding covid‐19 and pregnancy: Where are we now and where should we head to next?
(2021)Despite the volume of publications dedicated to unraveling the biological characteristics and clinical manifestations of SARS‐CoV‐2, available data on pregnant patients are limited. In the current review of literature, we ... -
Diabetes on sepsis outcomes in non-ICU patients: A cohort study and review of the literature
(2021)Aims: We sought to determine whether primary outcomes differ between non-ICU septic patients with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: This study utilized the Hellenic Sepsis Study Group Registry, collecting nationwide ... -
Emergence of a mupirocin-resistant, methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus clone associated with skin and soft tissue infections in Greece
(2021)Background: Staphylococcus aureus causes various infections, including skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). In this study, methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) from SSTIs among patients in three tertiary-care ... -
Emm Types and clusters and macrolide resistance of pediatric group A streptococcal isolates in Central Greece during 2011-2017
(2020)Background The surveillance of emm types and macrolide susceptibility of group A streptococcus (GAS) in various areas and time periods enhances the understanding of the epidemiology of GAS infections and may guide treatment ... -

Hepcidin as a Sensitive and Treatment-Responsive Acute-Phase Marker in Patients with Bacteremia: A Pilot Study
(2022)Hepcidin regulates iron metabolism by inhibiting intestinal iron absorption and iron release from iron stores. In addition to iron overload, inflammatory conditions also up-regulate hepcidin synthesis, which may serve as ... -
ICU-Associated Gram-Negative Bloodstream Infection: Risk Factors Affecting the Outcome Following the Emergence of Colistin-Resistant Isolates in a Regional Greek Hospital
(2022)Intensive care unit patients may present infections by difficult-to-treat-resistant Gram-negative microorganisms. Colistin resurfaced as a last resort antibiotic for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative ... -
Individualized significance of the −251 A/T single nucleotide polymorphism of interleukin-8 in severe infections
(2016)Based on the concept of the individualized nature of sepsis, we investigated the significance of the −251 A/T (rs4073) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of interleukin (IL)-8 in relation to the underlying infection. ... -
Infections in hemodialysis: a concise review - Part 1: bacteremia and respiratory infections
(2011)Hemodialysis (HD) patients are particularly predisposed to infections. It seems that the HD procedure per se as well as disturbances in both innate and adaptive immunity significantly contribute to this susceptibility. ... -
Initial Immune Response in Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans Bacteremia
(2020)Sepsis remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide and is characterized by sustained inflammatory responses, reflected as changes in the expression profile of cytokines with time. The aim of the present study was to ... -
Lessons from pathophysiology: Use of individualized combination treatments with immune interventional agents to tackle severe respiratory failure in patients with COVID-19
(2021)Aims Infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) may lead to the development of severe respiratory failure. In hospitalized-patients, prompt interruption of the virus-driven inflammatory process ... -
Microorganisms involved in deep neck infection (DNIs) in Greece: Detection, identification and susceptibility to antimicrobials
(2019)Background: To determine, from October 2010 to October 2018, the epidemiology of Deep Neck Infections (DNIs), regarding the detection, the identification and the susceptibility to antimicrobials of causative microorganisms, ... -
A Predictive Model of Mortality in Patients With Bloodstream Infections due to Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae
(2016)Objective To develop a score to predict mortality in patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs) due to carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE). Patients and Methods A multinational retrospective cohort study ... -
Progression into sepsis: An individualized process varying by the interaction of comorbidities with the underlying infection
(2018)Background: Development of sepsis is a process with significant variation among individuals. The precise elements of this variation need to be defined. This study was designed to define the way in which comorbidities ... -
Statins in bacteremia, sepsis and pneumonia: Have we found the holy grail?
(2009)Statins, beyond their lipid lowering properties, have pleiotropic properties that may modulate the inflammatory cascade and potentially could be useful in the management of inflammatory conditions such as bacteremia and ...
