Blood ghrelin, resistin, and adiponectin concentrations during the normal menstrual cycle
(2009)
Objective: To investigate changes of ghrelin, resistin, and adiponectin levels in the circulation during the normal menstrual cycle. Design: Longitudinal study. Setting: The study was conducted at a university hospital. ...
Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus outbreak in a neonatal intensive care unit: Epidemiology, molecular analysis and risk factors
(2013)
Background: Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) may cause outbreaks in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). We describe a biphasic VRE outbreak and identify risk factors for VRE acquisition. Methods: After the ...
Polyclonal Outbreak of Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium in a Pediatric Oncology Department
(2012)
We present a polyclonal outbreak of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) colonization in a pediatric oncology department and the role of a bundle of actions. After the occurrence of VRE bloodstream infections in 2 patients, ...
Detection of mutations in the FemXAB protein family in oxacillin-susceptible mecA-positive Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates
(2010)
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains that express the mecA gene but are oxacillin susceptible (OS-MRSA; oxacillin MIC < 2 mg/L) are increasingly reported. To gain molecular and functional insights on ...
Efflux system overexpression and decreased OprD contribute to the carbapenem heterogeneity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(2008)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains exhibiting a heterogeneous mode of growth against carbapenems have been described recently. This study investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms in four genetically unrelated P. ...
Hidden VIM-1 metallo-beta-lactamase phenotypes among Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates
(2008)
A total of 87 Acinetobacter baumannii nonrepetitive consecutive clinical isolates were tested for the presence of metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs). Results of phenotypic assays (MBL Etest, imipenem/imipenem-EDTA combined-disk ...
Activity of Oxacillin versus That of Vancomycin against Oxacillin-Susceptible mecA-Positive Staphylococcus aureus Clinical Isolates Evaluated by Population Analyses, Time-Kill Assays, and a Murine Thigh Infection Model
(2012)
We compared the activity of dicloxacillin with that of vancomycin against 15 oxacillin-susceptible, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (OS-MRSA) clinical isolates. By population analyses, we found that 6 OS-MRSA ...
Applicability of self-obtained urine and vaginal samples for HPV-16,-18,-31 and-45 cervical cancer screening in pregnancy: a pilot cross-sectional study
(2014)
Aim:To conduct a pilot cross-sectional study to evaluate the rates of detection of four common high-risk HPV (hr-HPV) types using first-void urine paired with vaginal self-obtained samples in a nonvaccinated population of ...
A highly carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate with a novel bla(VIM-4)/bla(P1b) integron overexpresses two efflux pumps and lacks OprD
(2007)
Objectives: A Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolate that exhibited high-level carbapenem resistance and produced metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) was recovered from a Greek patient. This study was conducted to determine the ...
