Comparative Evaluation of Combined-Disk Tests Using Different Boronic Acid Compounds for Detection of Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae Clinical Isolates
(2011)
The accurate phenotypic detection of Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae is an increasing necessity worldwide. We evaluated the performance of boronic acid combined-disk tests using as ...
Clusters of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clones producing different carbapenemases in an intensive care unit
(2008)
During a 2-year period (April 2005-March 2007), 31 intensive care unit (ICU) patients in a Greek hospital were infected or colonised with imipenem-resistant isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. Twelve patients died, with ...
Transmission in the community of clonal Proteus mirabilis carrying VIM-1 metallo-beta-lactamase
(2007)
Objectives: Several infections among patients attending our outpatient clinic were caused by imipenem-resistant Proteus mirabilis that were phenotypically metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-positive. The aim of the study was to ...
Multiresistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in intensive care units in Greece
(2003)
One hundred and twenty-one clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii recovered from the intensive care units (ICUs) of nine tertiary-care hospitals in Athens, Greece were studied in order to determine whether the ...
Growth Retardation, Reduced Invasiveness, and Impaired Colistin-Mediated Cell Death Associated with Colistin Resistance Development in Acinetobacter baumannii
(2014)
Two colistin-susceptible/colistin-resistant (Col(s)/Col(r)) pairs of Acinetobacter baumannii strains assigned to international clone 2, which is prevalent worldwide, were sequentially recovered from two patients after ...
Outbreak of multiple clones of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates expressing OXA-58 carbapenemase in an intensive care unit
(2006)
Objectives: To investigate the resistance mechanisms and the genetic relationship of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates recovered in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary care hospital. Methods: ...
Persistence of a clone of glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus faecalis among patients in an intensive care unit of a Greek hospital
(2004)
Objectives: To investigate an outbreak of glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus faecalis (GREF) in the intensive care unit (ICU) of 'G. Gennimatas' General Hospital, Athens, Greece. Materials and methods: Between August 2000 ...
Characterization of clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa heterogeneously resistant to carbapenems
(2007)
Fourteen apparently carbapenem-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates that exhibited colonies within the inhibition zone around carbapenem discs were analysed. MICs of carbapenems were determined and the ...
Characteristics of Meropenem Heteroresistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase (KPC)-Producing Clinical Isolates of K-pneumoniae
(2010)
Meropenem heteroresistance was investigated in six apparently meropenem-susceptible, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-KP) clinical isolates, compared with that in carbapenemase-negative, ...
