Fetuin-A is Associated with Disease Severity and Exacerbation Frequency in Patients with COPD
(2013)
Fetuin-A is a liver protein that may serve as an inhibitor of systemic inflammation in humans. In the present study we assessed the levels of fetuin-A in COPD patients in stable condition and on exacerbation in an attempt ...
Spread of efflux pump-overexpressing, non-metallo-beta-lactamase-producing, meropenem-resistant but ceftazidime-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a region with bla(VIM) endemicity
(2005)
Objectives: To investigate the resistance mechanisms of meropenem-resistant, ceftazidime-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, in a clinical setting where VIM-2 or VIM-4 metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL)-producing ...
Single-Locus-Sequence-Based Typing of bla(OXA-51-like) Genes for Rapid Assignment of Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolates to International Clonal Lineages
(2014)
Single-locus bla(OXA-51-like) sequence-based typing (SBT) was evaluated for its ability to determine correctly sequence types (STs) in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates, in comparison with the Pasteur's multilocus ...
In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluations of Oxacillin Efficiency against mecA-Positive Oxacillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus
(2008)
Community-type Staphylococcus aureus strains that are positive for mecA and PBP2a but appear phenotypically susceptible to oxacillin are increasingly reported worldwide. Four S. aureus clinical isolates carrying the mecA ...
Outbreak of infections caused by Enterobacter cloacae producing the integron-associated beta-lactamase IBC-1 in a neonatal intensive care unit of a Greek hospital
(2002)
Nineteen of 27 ceftazidime-resistant Enterobacter cloacae isolates from a neonatal intensive care unit in Thessaloniki, Greece, had genes coding for the novel extended-spectrum beta-lactamase IBC-1; 18 of those 19 harbored ...
Inhibin secretion in women with the polycystic ovary syndrome before and after treatment with progesterone
(2011)
Objectives: It has been suggested that inhibin secretion is altered in women with the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the contribution of a preceding luteal phase has not been taken into account. The aim of the ...
Ovarian control of pituitary sensitivity of luteinizing hormone secretion to gonadotropin-releasing hormone in women with the polycystic ovary syndrome
(2009)
This study investigated the ovarian control of LH responsiveness to GnRH in anovulatory women with the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It is suggested that the enhanced pituitary sensitivity of LH secretion to GnRH in ...
Occurrence, virulence genes and antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli O157 isolated from raw bovine, caprine and ovine milk in Greece
(2009)
The examination of 2005 raw bovine (n = 950), caprine (n = 460) and ovine (n = 595) bulk milk samples collected throughout several regions in Greece for the presence of Escherichia coli serogroup O157 resulted in the ...
