The value of a single combined measurement of VEGF, glycodelin, progesterone, PAPP-A, HPL and LIF for differentiating between ectopic and abnormal intrauterine pregnancy
(2005)
BACKGROUND: To evaluate whether serum concentrations of the non-placental markers vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), glycodelin (GLY) and progesterone (P) and the novel placental markers pregnancy-associated ...
Differences in biofilm formation and virulence factors between clinical and fecal enterococcal isolates of human and animal origin
(2012)
The present study investigated the possible correlation between carriage of the virulence genes esp and fsrb, production of hemolysin and gelatinase and biofilm formation in human vs. animal enterococcal isolates. A ...
Increasing prevalence of high-level gentamicin resistance among enterococci isolated in Greece
(2001)
High-level gentamicin-resistant enterococci (HLGRE) (MIC >512 mug/ml) were frequently recovered in the AHEPA University Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece, during a 15-month period (67/158, 42.4%). PCR testing showed that ...
Comparative Evaluation of Tigecycline Susceptibility Testing Methods for Expanded-Spectrum Cephalosporin- and Carbapenem-Resistant Gram-Negative Pathogens
(2012)
We evaluated the Vitek2, Etest, and MIC Test Strip (MTS) methods of tigecycline susceptibility testing with 241 expanded-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant and/or carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and Acinetobacter ...
Nosocomial spread of an unusual methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clone that is sensitive to all non-beta-lactam antibiotics, including tobramycin
(2001)
Between January and December 1999, in Hippokration General Hospital, Thessaloniki, Greece, a large proportion of the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates (34.4%) exhibited susceptibility to virtually all ...
Detection of a phylogenetically distinct IMP-type metallo-beta-lactamase, IMP-35, in a CC235 Pseudomonas aeruginosa from the Dutch-German border region (Euregio)
(2013)
To characterize a highly divergent IMP-type metallo--lactamase (MBL) variant detected in a multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolate. P. aeruginosa isolate 1876 was recovered from an anal swab of an ...
The effect of estrogens on plasma ghrelin concentrations in women
(2010)
Background: Data regarding the possible effects of estrogen on ghrelin secretion in humans are limited and contradictory. Aim: To investigate the effect of estradiol (E2) on ghrelin levels in normal pre- and post-menopausal ...
Anti-inflammatory effects of a special carbohydrate-whey protein cake after exhaustive cycling in humans
(2013)
Intense exercise induces increased levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a special cake (consisting of carbohydrate to whey protein 3.5:1) ...
A large waterborne gastroenteritis outbreak in central Greece, March 2012: challenges for the investigation and management
(2014)
In March 2012, there was an unusual increase of gastroenteritis cases in a district with 37264 inhabitants in central Greece. It was estimated that more than 3600 people developed symptoms. A 1:1 case-control study showed ...
Molecular cloning and biochemical characterization of VIM-12, a novel hybrid VIM-1/VIM-2 metallo-beta-lactamase from a Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate, reveal atypical substrate specificity
(2007)
Metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) are considered an emerging family of Zn2+-dependent enzymes that significantly contribute to the resistance of many nosocomial pathogens against beta-lactam antimicrobials. Since these ...
