A 12-year survey of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in Greece: ST80-IV epidemic?
(2014)Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important cause of both healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) and community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) infections. Severe MRSA infections have been associated with the ... -
Adolescents' Beliefs about the Wolf: Investigating the Potential of Human-Wolf Coexistence in the European South
(2012)Previous research revealed a rural-urban divide in the acceptance of the wolf. We investigated adolescents' beliefs about the wolf in rural and urban areas of Greece and Italy. By using a multiple-choice questionnaire, we ... -
Antibiotic use for upper respiratory tract infections in children: A cross-sectional survey of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of parents in Greece
(2011)Background: Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) are common in children. The cause of URTIs is usually viral, but parents' attitudes often contribute to inappropriate prescription of antibiotics, promoting antibiotic ... -
Assessment of pressures and impacts on surface water bodies of the Mediterranean. Case study: Pamvotis Lake, Greece
(2013)The aim of the study presented in this article is to assess the ecological status of a surface water body in the Mediterranean using the methodological approach of Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response. Based on this ... -
Bacterioplankton growth on extracellular organic carbon from marine microalgal cultures
(2005)Marine bacterial growth on extracellular organic carbon (EOC) of Chlorella minutissima, Dimaliella tertiolecta and Chaetoceros gracilis was studied. EOC was retrieved after filtration of optimum growing algal cultures at ... -
Comparison of blood pressure measurements in children with and without habitual snoring
(2005)Higher or similar systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure has been recorded in children with sleep apnea compared to subjects with primary snoring or in those with primary snoring compared to controls. To investigate the ... -
Descriptive Study on Parents' Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices on Antibiotic Use and Misuse in Children with Upper Respiratory Tract Infections in Cyprus
(2011)Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) are common in children and represent a significant cause of antibiotic abuse which contributes to the development of antibiotic resistance. A survey was conducted in Cyprus in ... -
Dissemination of clonally unrelated erythromycin- and glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus faecium isolates in a tertiary Greek hospital
(2001)Between September 1999 to February 2001, 25 glycopeptide-resistant Enterococcus faecium (GRE) isolates were recovered from a Greek hospital. The isolates exhibited 13 distinct chromosomal macrorestriction types by pulsed-field ... -
Effects of nicosulfuron on the abundance and diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi used as indicators of pesticide soil microbial toxicity
(2014)The key role of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in maintaining soil fertility and ecosystem functioning and their general sensitivity to pesticides make them good candidate bioindicators in pesticide soil microbial ... -
Effects of Systemic Pesticides Imidacloprid and Metalaxyl on the Phyllosphere of Pepper Plants
(2013)Microbes inhabiting the phyllosphere of crops are exposed to pesticides applied either directly onto plant foliage or indirectly through soil. Although, phyllosphere microbiology has been rapidly evolving, little is still ... -
EVALUATION OF WATER QUALITY OF A MOUNTAINOUS STREAM (PELION, CENTRAL GREECE) USING BENTHIC MACROINVERTEBRATES
(2014)Biotic indices are commonly used in biomonitoring programs to assess the quality of surface waters. In the present study, a number of biotic indices based on benthic macroinvertebrates have been applied in assessing the ... -
Fish farming effects on local fisheries landings in oligotrophic seas
(2006)The effects of fish-farming on local landings in five regions of the Aegean and Ionian Seas (eastern Mediterranean basin) were analysed, together with certain parameters related to environmental changes and fishing fleet ... -
Fish market prices drive overfishing of the 'big ones'
(2014)The relationship between fish market price and body size has not been explored much in fisheries science. Here, the mean market prices and fish body size were collected in order to examine the hypothesis that large fish, ... -

Molecular detection of potentially toxic cyanobacteria and their associated bacteria in lake water column and sediment
(2010)We investigated the molecular diversity of cyanobacteria and bacteria during a water bloom in a lake with a long history of toxic cyanobacterial blooms (Lake Kastoria, Greece). We also tested the hypothesis whether ... -
Population-specific demography and invasion potential in medfly
(2011)Biological invasions are constantly gaining recognition as a significant component of global change. The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly) constitutes an ideal model species for the study of biological invasions due to its ... -
Risk factors for enterococcal infection and colonization by vancomycin-resistant enterococci in critically ill patients
