Isolation and characterization of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from milk of dairy goats under low-input farm management in Greece
(2020)The presence of Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in raw milk is a challenge for veterinarians and public health professionals. In this study, we investigated the presence and clonality of ... -
Isolation and identification of nontuberculous mycobacteria from hospitalized patients and drinking water samples—examination of their correlation by chemometrics
(2016)Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have been found to be widely dispersed in the environment and are being considered potentially pathogenic for humans and animals, while reports of their human to human transmission are ... -
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the hospitals of Central Greece
(2001)A total of 250 consecutive Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates were collected during the period 1999-2000 from the five major hospitals of the district of Thessaly (Central Greece). Thirty seven (14.8%) of the isolates ... -
Miliary tuberculosis with no pulmonary involvement in myelodysplastic syndromes: A curable, yet rarely diagnosed, disease: Case report and review of the literature
(2008)Background: Although tuberculosis is not uncommon among patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), only a few reports of such patients suffering from miliary tuberculosis (MT) exist. MT often presents as a fever of ... -
Molecular characteristics and predictors of mortality among Gram-positive bacteria isolated from bloodstream infections in critically ill patients during a 5-year period (2012–2016)
(2020)To identify the molecular characteristics of Gram-positive cocci isolated from blood cultures and clinical outcome among critically ill patients. This retrospective study was conducted in the general intensive care unit ... -
Nasal carriage and antimicrobial susceptibility of Coagulase - Negative Staphylococci (CoNS) among healthy veterinary students in Greece
(2017)During last decades CoNS and especially the methicillin-resistant (MRCoNS) ones have become important pathogens and their infections are usually associated with healthcare settings. CoNS are considered as source of ... -
Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus among healthy veterinary students in Greece, 2017-2018: A cross-sectional cohort study
(2021)The epidemiology of Staphylococcus spp., Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA among veterinary students in Greece during 2017-2018 is reported. Nasal swabs and a standardized questionnaire from 160 healthy veterinary students ... -
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria as environmental risk factors for human infectious diseases – isolation of non-tuberculous mycobacteria from patients in the thessaly region (Central greece) and their correlation with sarcoidosis disease
(2017)Mycobacteria are organisms that are of great interest in the field of medicine, particularly those causing tuberculosis and leprosy (e.g., mycobacterium tuberculosis). Conversely, the nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that ... -
Novel molecular techniques for the identification of the members of Brucellaceae family
(2006)An account is presented of an attempt to identify a multiresistant, gram-negative bacterium that was isolated from raw sewage in Cyprus. The API 2ONE system was initially used to identify the strain on the basis of its ... -
Occurrence and characterization of extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae in healthy household dogs in Greece
(2018)Extended-spectrum cephalosporin-and/or carbapenem-resistant (ESCR and/or CarbR) Enterobacteriaceae constitute a public health hazard because of limited treatment options and are endemic among humans in Greece. Recently, ... -
Pitfalls in the identification of Enterococcus species and the detection of vanA and vanB genes
(2016)The aims were to assess the performance of Vitek 2 in identifying enterococcal species and the implementation of GeneXpert® vanA/vanB PCR for the detection of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Gram-positive cocci ... -
