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 ...
Large Dissemination of VIM-2-Metallo-beta-Lactamase-Producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains Causing Health Care-Associated Community-Onset Infections
(2009)
During a 3-year period (May 2005 to April 2008), a series of 45 outpatients presented with community-onset urinary tract infections due to carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. Forty of them had a history ...
Clusters of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clones producing different carbapenemases in an intensive care unit
(2008)
During a 2-year period (April 2005-March 2007), 31 intensive care unit (ICU) patients in a Greek hospital were infected or colonised with imipenem-resistant isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. Twelve patients died, with ...
Multiresistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates in intensive care units in Greece
(2003)
One hundred and twenty-one clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii recovered from the intensive care units (ICUs) of nine tertiary-care hospitals in Athens, Greece were studied in order to determine whether the ...
Growth Retardation, Reduced Invasiveness, and Impaired Colistin-Mediated Cell Death Associated with Colistin Resistance Development in Acinetobacter baumannii
(2014)
Two colistin-susceptible/colistin-resistant (Col(s)/Col(r)) pairs of Acinetobacter baumannii strains assigned to international clone 2, which is prevalent worldwide, were sequentially recovered from two patients after ...
Wide dissemination of linezolid-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis in Greece is associated with a linezolid-dependent ST22 clone
(2015)
Objectives: Dependence on linezolid was recently described as significant growth acceleration of linezolid-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (LRSE) isolates upon linezolid exposure. We investigated the possible contribution ...
Dissemination of Clinical Isolates of Klebsiella oxytoca Harboring CMY-31, VIM-1, and a New OXY-2-Type Variant in the Community
(2011)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the epidemiological link of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella oxytoca isolates causing community-onset infections among patients attending our outpatient department and to ...
Evolution of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii clonal lineages: a 10 year study in Greece (2000-09)
(2011)
Objectives: To analyse the evolution and genetic relatedness of Acinetobacter baumannii clonal lineages in Greece during a 10 year period. Methods: The study included 94 randomly selected A. baumannii clinical isolates ...
Recurrent healthcare-associated community-onset infections due to Klebsiella pneumoniae producing VIM-1 metallo-beta-lactamase
(2010)
To investigate the extrahospital dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates and the mechanisms of acquired resistance. Patients who were referred to the outpatient department of Serres General ...
