Outbreaks in distinct regions due to a single Klebsiella pneumoniae clone carrying a bla(VIM-1) metallo-beta-lactamase gene
(2005)
From December 2004 to March 2005, 27 Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates that were positive by the imipenem-EDTA double-disk synergy test and that exhibited a single macrorestriction pattern were recovered in two ...
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 ...
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 ...
Association of biofilm formation and methicillin-resistance with accessory gene regulator (agr) loci in Greek Staphylococcus aureus clones
(2009)
Pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus is coordinated by the accessory gene regulator (agr) system. Previous studies suggested that agr Group 11 methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), a polymorphism that has been associated ...
Clonal spread of KPC-2 carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains in Greece
(2009)
KPC-possessing Klebsiella pneumoniae have been found to be widespread in several regions but are still rarely detected in Europe. We describe the characteristics of an outbreak caused by KPC producers in a tertiary care ...
