(2018)The aim of the present study was to examine the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of 21 types of honey derived from Mount Olympus (Mt. Olympus), a region with great plant biodiversity. The antibacterial activity was ... -
Antimicrobial Agent Susceptibility and Typing of Staphylococcal Isolates from Subclinical Mastitis in Ewes
(2019)Objective was to study susceptibility to antimicrobial agents of 142 staphylococcal isolates from subclinical mastitis in ewes. In total, 41.5% of these were resistant and 5.6% multidrug resistant. More coagulase-negative ... -
Antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of various Greek garlic genotypes
(2018)Recent studies show a significant variation in antioxidant and antimicrobial properties between the various garlic genotypes mostly due to differences in chemical composition and bioactive compounds content. The aim of the ... -
Association of staphylococcal populations on teatcups of milking parlours with vaccination against staphylococcal mastitis in sheep and goat farms
(2021)There is a paucity of information regarding staphylococcal populations on teatcups of milking parlours in sheep and goat farms. The objectives were to describe the populations of staphylococci on teatcups in milking parlours ... -
Bacteriology, antibiotic resistance and risk stratification of patients with culture-positive, community-acquired pleural infection
(2021)Background: Community-acquired pleural infection (CAPI) is a growing health problem worldwide. Although most CAPI patients recover with antibiotics and pleural drainage, 20% require surgical intervention. The use of ... -
Bioactive properties of greenhouse-cultivated green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under biostimulants and water-stress effect
(2019)BACKGROUND: The scarcity of irrigation water is severely affecting global crop production. In this context, biostimulants are increasingly used as alternatives means against abiotic stress conditions. In this study, phenolic ... -
Biological properties of bee bread collected from apiaries located across Greece
(2021)Bee bread is the only fermented product of the beehive. It constitutes the main source of proteins, lipids, vitamins, and macro-and microelements in honeybee nutrition and it exerts antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, ... -
Case report: High prevalence rate of ovine mastitis, caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci and predisposed by increased gossypol consumption
(2004)A case of unusually high (>94%) prevalence of mastitis in a flock of dairy sheep, which was caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci (cnS) and associated with increased gossypol consumption, is presented. The animals ... -
Characterization and Quantitative Determination of a Diverse Group of Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis NCIB 3610 Antibacterial Peptides
(2021)Five antibacterial peptides produced by Bacillus subtilis NCIB 3610 were purified, quantified, characterized, and identified in the present study. Cell-free extracts were subjected to three purification protocols employing ... -
Chemical composition and plant growth of Centaurea raphanina subsp. mixta plants cultivated under saline conditions
(2020)The aim of this report was to study the effect of salinity (control: 2dS/m, S1: 4 dS/m and S2: 6 dS/m) and harvest time (first harvest on 9 May 2018 and second harvest on 19 April 2018) on the growth and the chemical ... -
Chios mastic gum: A plant-produced resin exhibiting numerous diverse pharmaceutical and biomedical prοperties
(2012)Chios mastic gum (CMG) is a resin produced by the plant Pistacia lentiscus var. chia. CMG is used to extract the mastic gum essential oil (MGO). CMG and MGO consist of nearly 70 constituents and have demonstrated numerous ... -
