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 ... -
Clinical effectiveness, safety profile, and pharmacokinetics of daptomycin in pediatric patients: A systematic review
(2016)Infections by Gram-positive pathogens pose a public health risk, especially due to increasing antibiotic resistance. Daptomycin has efficacy against most clinically important Gram-positive bacteria. Although experience ... -
Effect of ozone on the microbiological status of five dried aromatic plants
(2018)BACKGROUND: Aromatic plants may be contaminated with a wide range of microorganisms, making them a potential health hazard when infused or added to ready-to-eat meals. To ensure safety, the effect of gaseous ozone treatment ... -
Evolution of epidemiological characteristics of infective endocarditis in Greece
(2021)Objective: The clinical profile, management and outcome of infective endocarditis (IE) may be influenced by socioeconomic issues. Methods: A nationwide prospective study evaluated IE during the era of deep economic crisis ... -
Hematogenous spinal infection in Central Greece
(2009)STUDY DESIGN.: We retrospectively analyzed spinal infection (SpI), in a teaching Hospital, in Central Greece. OBJECTIVE.: To study presentation, etiology, and outcome of SpI in Central Greece. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA.: ... -
Incidence and Risk Factors for Blood Stream Infection in Mechanically Ventilated COVID-19 Patients
(2022)It is widely known that blood stream infections (BSIs) in critically ill patients may affect mortality, length of stay, or the duration of mechanical ventilation. There is scarce data regarding blood stream infections in ... -
Is There a Role for Double J Stent Culture in Contemporary Urology?
(2018)Introduction: To present the incidence of bacterial colonization on ureteral double J stents (DJS); isolate the uropathogens; define the rate of multi-resistant bacteria strains (MRBS) and present their clinical importance. ... -
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry reveals Enterococcus and Enterobacter spp. in major insect species involved in food security with resistance to common antibiotics
(2020)Stored-product insects can transfer a wide range of serious pathogens involved in human health. The close contact of these insects with the food production chain makes these species extremely dangerous as carriers of severe ... -
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 ... -
Molecular diversity of bacteria in commercially available "Spirulina" food supplements
(2016)The cyanobacterium Arthrospira is among the most well-known food supplements worldwide known as "Spirulina." While it is a widely recognized health-promoting natural product, there are no reports on the molecular diversity ... -
Molecular evidence of a broad range of pathogenic bacteria in ctenocephalides spp.: Should we re-examine the role of fleas in the transmission of pathogens?
(2021)The internal microbiome of common cat and dog fleas was studied for DNA evidence of pathogenic bacteria. Fleas were grouped in pools by parasitized animal. DNA was extracted and investigated with 16S metagenomics for ... -
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 ... -
Shotgun metagenomics assessment of the resistome, mobilome, pathogen dynamics and their ecological control modes in full-scale urban wastewater treatment plants
(2021)The conventional activated sludge (CAS) process has limited capacity to remove pathogenic microorganisms and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), compared to membrane bioreactors (MBRs). However, the full extent of pathogenic ... -
