Clonal spread of KPC-2 carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains in Greece
(2009)KPC-possessing Klebsiella pneumoniae have been found to be widespread in several regions but are still rarely detected in Europe. We describe the characteristics of an outbreak caused by KPC producers in a tertiary care ... -
Identification and characterization of genetic structures coding for carbapenemases in enterobacteria from Central Greece
(2015)The dissemination of carbapenemases among different species of Enterobacteriaceae was investigated in the University Hospital of Larissa, Central Greece. The presence of the isoform (Tn4401a) of the transponson carrying ... -
Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry Meropenem Hydrolysis Assay with NH4HCO3, a Reliable Tool for Direct Detection of Carbapenemase Activity
(2015)A comparison of a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometric (MALDI-TOF MS) meropenem hydrolysis assay with the Carba NP test showed that both methods exhibited low sensitivity (approximately ... -
Predictors of mortality in patients with bloodstream infections caused by KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and impact of appropriate antimicrobial treatment
(2011)Bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases (KPC)-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-KP) are associated with high mortality rates. We investigated outcomes, risk factors for mortality and impact ...
