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 ...
Outbreak of bloodstream infections because of Serratia marcescens in a pediatric department
(2012)
Background: Serratia marcescens can cause health care-associated infections. We herewith report the investigation and control of an outbreak of S marcescens bloodstream infections (BSI) in a general pediatric department. ...
Evaluation and comparison of fluorescence polarization assay with three of the currently used serological tests in diagnosis of human brucellosis
(2007)
Fluorescence polarization assay (FPA) is a method that has been used for the diagnosis of brucellosis in animals for many years. To test its possible usefulness for the diagnosis of human brucellosis, 230 sera from patients ...
Use of real-time PCR to detect human papillomavirus-16 viral loads in vaginal and urine self-sampled specimens
(2008)
Increasing the accuracy of self-sampling methods to detect oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) infection would contribute to the wider application of these approaches. In this study, 120 women were tested for HPV-16 by ...
Effect of ovarian hormones on serum adiponectin and resistin concentrations
(2009)
Objective: To investigate the effect of ovarian hormones on adiponectin and resistin levels in women. Design: Experimental study. Setting: University hospital. Patient(s): Thirteen normally cycling women (7 in group I and ...
Leptospirosis and pancytopenia: Two case reports and review of the literature
(2005)
Besides the classical manifestations, leptospirosis may rarely occur with erythroid hypoplasia and/or pancytopenia. In this study, we reported two cases of leptospirosis presented with pancytopenia as the prevailing ...
The Association of Metabolic Syndrome with Adipose Tissue Hormones and Insulin Resistance in Patients with COPD without Co-morbidities
(2011)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and metabolic syndrome represent common causes of morbidity and mortality in ageing populations. The effect of the co-existence of COPD and metabolic syndrome on adipose tissue ...
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 ...
Soluble fms-Like Tyrosine Kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and Serum Placental Growth Factor (PlGF) as Biomarkers for Ectopic Pregnancy and Missed Abortion
(2011)
Context: Diagnosis of early pregnancy failure is hampered by the lack of reliable serological markers. Objective: We assessed whether a single serum measurement of placental growth factor (PlGF) and the soluble Flt-1 ...
