Acquired carbapenemases in Gram-negative bacterial pathogens: detection and surveillance issues
(2010)
Acquired carbapenemases are emerging resistance determinants in Gram-negative pathogens, including Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram-negative non-fermenters. A consistent number of acquired ...
Linezolid Dependence in Staphylococcus epidermidis Bloodstream Isolates
(2013)
We document linezolid dependence among 5 highly linezolid-resistant (LRSE) Staphylococcus epidermidis bloodstream isolates that grew substantially faster at 32 mu g/mL linezolid presence. These isolates carried the mutations ...
Detection of a novel variant bla(CTX-M-3) extended spectrum beta-lactamase gene in a community-acquired Escherichia coli isolate
(2006)
A highly cefotaxime- and cefepime-resistant but ceftazidime-sensitive Escherichia coli isolate was recovered from a community-acquired urinary infection of a Greek patient. Susceptibility testing, transfer assays, plasmid ...
CTX-M-1 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Proteus mirabilis in Greece
(2005)
To examine the dissemination of CTX-M-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) in clinical isolates of Proteus mirabilis, 91 nonrepetitive ESBL-producing P. mirabilis were collected from infected patients in a tertiary ...
Detection of the new metallo-beta-lactamase VIM-19 along with KPC-2, CMY-2 and CTX-M-15 in Klebsiella pneumoniae
(2010)
To report the identification of the metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) variant VIM-19 in a Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical strain co-producing KPC-2 carbapenemase, CMY-2 cephalosporinase and CTX-M-15 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase. ...
VIM-1 metallo-beta-lactamase in Acinetobacter baumannii
(2006)
In 2004 and 2005, 5 metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-positive Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were found in 2 Greek hospitals. Isolates were unrelated and carried bla(VIM-1) in a class 1 integron; bla(OXA-51-) and bla(OXA-58-like) ...
A simple phenotypic method for the differentiation of metallo-beta-lactamases and class A KPC carbapenemases in Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates
(2010)
The increasing frequency of class A KPC enzymes and class B metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) among Enterobacteriaceae as well as their possible co-production makes their early differentiation urgent. A simple phenotypic ...
Recurrent healthcare-associated community-onset infections due to Klebsiella pneumoniae producing VIM-1 metallo-beta-lactamase
(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 ...
Activity of tigecycline alone and in combination with colistin and meropenem against Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae strains by time-kill assay
(2011)
Antibiotic combinations including tigecycline have not been studied against Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing pathogens. Tigecycline alone and combined with colistin and meropenem was tested against eight ...
Cross-transmission of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clonal strains causing episodes of sepsis in a trauma intensive care unit
(2008)
OBJECTIVE. To investigate the mode of transmission of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains causing episodes of sepsis. SETTING. A 7-bed trauma intensive care unit (ICU) in an orthopedic hospital in Greece. ...
