Identification of multi-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii from an ICU in Greece using sequence-based typing and PFGE
(2011)
Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen in many European countries, including Greece. In this study, we analysed 20 multi-resistant A. baumannii strains, derived from the First intensive ...
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 ...
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 ...
A simple phenotypic method for the differentiation of metallo-beta-lactamases and class A KPC carbapenemases in Enterobacteriaceae clinical isolates
(2010)
The increasing frequency of class A KPC enzymes and class B metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) among Enterobacteriaceae as well as their possible co-production makes their early differentiation urgent. A simple phenotypic ...
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 ...
Fusidic acid and clindamycin resistance in community-associated, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in children of Central Greece
(2010)
Introduction: In Greece, fusidic acid and clindamycin are commonly used for the empiric therapy of suspected staphylococcal infections. Methods: The medical records of children examined at the outpatient clinics or admitted ...
