Evaluation of GenoType Mycobacteria Direct Assay in Comparison with Gen-Probe Mycobacterium tuberculosis Amplified Direct Test and GenoType MTBDRplus for Direct Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex in Clinical Samples
Neonakis, I. K.; Gitti, Z.; Baritaki, S.; Petinaki, E.; Baritaki, M.; Spandidos, D. A. (2009)Three molecular assays were evaluated for the direct detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteria in 125 respiratory and 22 nonrespiratory samples. The overall sensitivities obtained were as follows: GenoType ... -
Miliary tuberculosis with no pulmonary involvement in myelodysplastic syndromes: A curable, yet rarely diagnosed, disease: Case report and review of the literature
Neonakis, I. K.; Alexandrakis, M. G.; Gitti, Z.; Tsirakis, G.; Krambovitis, E.; Spandidos, D. A. (2008)Background: Although tuberculosis is not uncommon among patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), only a few reports of such patients suffering from miliary tuberculosis (MT) exist. MT often presents as a fever of ... -
Molecular diagnostic tools in mycobacteriology
Neonakis, I. K.; Gitti, Z.; Krambovitis, E.; Spandidos, D. A. (2008)Although the diagnosis of mycobacteriosis and susceptibility testing are still primarily based on conventional methods (staining, culture, biochemical analysis, proportional method), a series of molecular assays are ... -
Mycobacterial species diversity at a general hospital on the island of Crete: First detection of Mycobacterium lentiflavum in Greece
Neonakis, I. K.; Gitti, Z.; Kourbeti, I. S.; Michelaki, H.; Baritaki, M.; Alevraki, G.; Papadomanolaki, E.; Tsafaraki, E.; Tsouri, A.; Baritaki, S.; Krambovitis, E.; Spandidos, D. A. (2007)The objective of the present study was to investigate the diversity of mycobacterial isolates in a general hospital in Crete, Greece. 48 positive Lowenstein-Jensen cultures over a 3-y period were analysed by means of ... -
Mycobacterium arupense pulmonary infection: Antibiotic resistance and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis
Neonakis, I. K.; Gitti, Z.; Kontos, F.; Baritaki, S.; Petinaki, E.; Baritaki, M.; Liakou, V.; Zerva, L.; Spandidos, D. A. (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
Neonakis, I. K.; Gitti, Z.; Kontos, F.; Baritaki, S.; Petinaki, E.; Baritaki, M.; Zerva, L.; Spandidos, D. A. (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 ... -
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
Neonakis, I. K.; Gitti, Z.; Kontos, F.; Baritaki, S.; Zerva, L.; Krambovitis, E.; Spandidos, D. A. (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 ... -
Resistance status of Mycobacterium tuberculosis on the island of Crete, Greece
Neonakis, I. K.; Gitti, Z.; Baritaki, M.; Kourbeti, I. S.; Baritaki, S.; Petinaki, E.; Maraki, S.; Krambovitis, E.; Spandidos, D. A. (2007)
