The -938C>A polymorphism in MYD88 is associated with susceptibility to tuberculosis: A pilot study
(2016)Introduction. Tuberculosis (TB) is a major disease worldwide, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection.The Toll- Like Receptor (TLR) pathway plays a crucial role in the recognition of MTB. Aim. The present study ... -
Accuracy of paratuberculosis diagnostic tests in small ruminants: Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2019)Paratuberculosis is a worldwide infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP). Various ruminant species can be affected by the disease, and the diagnosis of the disease is challenging in the ... -
Airborne algae and cyanobacteria: Occurrence and related health effects
(2011)Published information on airborne algae and cyanobacteria worldwide and the related human health effects is scarce. Since 1844, a total of 353 morphological taxa (genera or species) have been identified in aerobiological ... -
Anthropogenic effects on bacterial diversity and function along a river-to-estuary gradient in Northwest Greece revealed by metagenomics
(2016)Studies assessing the effects of anthropogenic inputs on the taxonomic and functional diversity of bacterioplankton communities in lotic ecosystems are limited. Here, we applied 16S rRNA gene amplicon and whole-genome ... -
Antimicrobial Agent Susceptibility and Typing of Staphylococcal Isolates from Subclinical Mastitis in Ewes
(2019)Objective was to study susceptibility to antimicrobial agents of 142 staphylococcal isolates from subclinical mastitis in ewes. In total, 41.5% of these were resistant and 5.6% multidrug resistant. More coagulase-negative ... -
Antimicrobial resistance of animal and human strains of enterobacteriaceae in Greece
(2003)Two hundred sixty two strains of Enterobacteriaceae from animal and human sources where intermixing and/or spreading is possible were examined for their resistance to 15 antimicrobials frequently used in animal prophylaxis ... -
Application of a semi-dependent latent model in the Bayesian estimation of the sensitivity and specificity of two faecal culture methods for diagnosis of paratuberculosis in sub-clinically infected Greek dairy sheep and goats
(2006)In this study, we compared the frequency of isolation of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) from faecal samples grown on Herrold's egg-yolk medium (HEYM) or on Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) medium and estimated the ... -
Application of fingerprinting molecular methods in bioremediation studies
(2010)Bioremediation has been identified as a beneficial and effective strategy for the removal of recalcitrant environmental contaminants. Bioaugmentation of polluted environments with exogenous degrading microorganisms constitutes ... -
Application of modified atmosphere packaging on aquacultured fish and fish products: A review
(2017)The aquaculture industry has undergone a rapid and continuous growth during the last decade due to increased demands in seafood consumption and reduced pelagic fish production. The aquaculture sector can provide products ... -
Aspergillosis in immunocompromised patients with haematological malignancies
(2018)Aspergillosis, which is saprophytic in nature, is known to cause massive destruction of paranasal sinuses in immunocompromised hosts, but in immunocompetent individuals invasive aspergillosis is rare. Diagnosis is posed ... -
Aspergillus species cystitis in a cat
(2001)A Persian male cat with a history of lower urinary tract disease was presented because of polydipsia, polyuria, constipation and nasal discharge. Ten weeks before admission, the cat had been treated for lower urinary tract ... -
Assessment of plant growth promoting bacteria strains on growth, yield and quality of sweet corn
(2022)The use of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) is increasingly gaining acceptance from all the stakeholders of the agricultural production. Different strains of PGPB species had been found to have a vast variety of ... -
Assessment of the effects of oxamyl on the bacterial community of an agricultural soil exhibiting enhanced biodegradation
(2019)Modern agricultural practices largely rely on pesticides to protect crops against various pests and to ensure high yields. Following their application to crops a large amount of pesticides ends up in soil where they may ... -
Assessment of the impact of three pesticides on microbial dynamics and functions in a lab-to-field experimental approach
(2018)The toxicity of pesticides on soil microorganisms is as an emerging area of concern. Novel and well-standardized tools could be now used to provide a robust assessment of the ecotoxicity of pesticides on soil microorganisms. ... -
The Association of Spondylitis and Aortic Aneurysm Disease
(2021)Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess any relation between spondylitis and aortic aneurysmal disease by reviewing the current literature. Methods: A systematic search was undertaken using MEDLINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL ... -
Association of subclinical mastitis prevalence with sheep breeds in Greece
(2018)The objective of the research described in this Research Communication was to describe potential associations of subclinical mastitis with sheep breeds in Greece. A countrywide survey (2198 ewes in 111 farms) was performed. ... -
The autoimmunity–oral microbiome connection
(2017)To date, there is a major effort in deciphering the role of complex microbial communities, especially the oral and gut microbiomes, in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Increasing evidence indicates a key role for the ... -
Bacterial and archaeal phylotypes associated with distinct mineralogical layers of a white smoker spire from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent site (9°N, East Pacific Rise)
(2006)A diffusely venting chimney spire from the East Pacific Rise (9°N) was analysed by petrographic thin sectioning and 16S rRNA gene cloning and sequencing in parallel, to correlate microbial community composition with ... -
