Activity of linezolid against Gram-positive cocci: a multicentre study in Greek hospitals
Pratti, A.; Karanika, M.; Maniatis, A. N.; Petinaki, E.; Spiliopoulou, I.; Kolonitsiou, F.; Tatsiopoulos, A.; Alexiou-Daniel, S.; Bakola, D.; Koutsia-Carousou, C.; Malamou-Lada, H.; Siafakas, N.; Zerva, L. (2007) -
Clinical isolates of macrolide-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes in Central Greece
Petinaki, E.; Kontos, F.; Pratti, A.; Skulakis, C.; Maniatis, A. N. (2003)A total of 300 Streptococcus pyogenes isolates, collected during 2001 from five hospitals in the Thessalia district (Central Greece), were examined for their resistance to macrolides. Resistance to erythromycin was detected ... -
Complete genomic characterization of an intertypic Sabin 3/Sabin 2 capsid recombinant
Dedepsidis, E.; Pliaka, V.; Kyriakopoulou, Z.; Brakoulias, C.; Levidiotou-Stefanou, S.; Pratti, A.; Mamuris, Z.; Markoulatos, P. (2008)The genetic properties of strain K/2002, isolated from fecal samples of a 7-month-old child who had received his first oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) dose at the age of 3 months, are described. Preliminary sequencing ... -
Direct extraction and molecular characterization of enteroviruses genomes from human faecal samples
Bolanaki, E.; Kottaridi, C.; Dedepsidis, E.; Kyriakopoulou, Z.; Pliaka, V.; Pratti, A.; Levidiotou-Stefanou, S.; Markoulatos, P. (2008)Routine diagnosis of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) is still based on classical virological procedures. Several enteroviruses serotypes are not easily isolated in cell cultures system used and routinely more than one passage ... -
Full-Genome Sequence Analysis of a Multirecombinant Echovirus 3 Strain Isolated from Sewage in Greece
Kyriakopoulou, Z.; Dedepsidis, E.; Pliaka, V.; Tsakogiannis, D.; Pratti, A.; Levidiotou-Stefanou, S.; Markoulatos, P. (2010)An echovirus 3 (Echo3) strain (strain LR31G7) was isolated from a sewage treatment plant in Greece in 2005. Full-genome molecular, phylogenetic, and SimPlot analyses were conducted in order to reveal the evolutionary ... -
Growth kinetic analysis of bi-recombinant poliovirus vaccine strains
Pliaka, V.; Dedepsidis, E.; Kyriakopoulou, Z.; Papadi, G.; Tsakogiannis, D.; Pratti, A.; Levidiotou-Stefanou, S.; Markoulatos, P. (2010)Attenuated strains of Sabin poliovirus vaccine replicate in the human gut and in rare cases may cause vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP). Mutations at specific sites of the genome and recombination between ... -
HLA-A, -B, and-DRB1 analysis of the mixed and two closed populations (Vlachs and Sarakatsans) of Thessaly, Greece
Adam, K. P.; Pratti, A.; Zintzaras, E.; Soukou, F.; Nikoulis, D.; Statiris, C.; Germenis, A. E. (2005) -
Molecular identification and full genome analysis of an echovirus 7 strain isolated from the environment in Greece
Kyriakopoulou, Z.; Dedepsidis, E.; Pliaka, V.; Mastorakos, P.; Stamati, A.; Pratti, A.; Levidiotou-Stefanou, S.; Markoulatos, P. (2010)Two enteroviruses from river water and four from sewage treatment plant were isolated in Larissa, Greece, that all shared the same sequence. A full genome analysis was conducted in an attempt to reveal the evolutionary ... -
A new RT-PCR assay for the identification of the predominant recombination types in 2C and 3D genomic regions of vaccine-derived poliovirus strains
Pliaka, V.; Dedepsidis, E.; Kyriakopoulou, Z.; Mpirli, K.; Tsakogiannis, D.; Pratti, A.; Levidiotou-Stefanou, S.; Markoulatos, P. (2010)In the post-eradication era of wild polioviruses, the only remaining sources of poliovirus infection worldwide would be the vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs). As the preponderance of countries certified to be polio-free ... -
Possible recombination and gene adaptation exchanges among clinical echovirus strains: crossing the temporal and topological barriers
Kottaridi, C.; Bolanaki, E.; Kyriakopoulou, Z.; Dedepsidis, E.; Pratti, A.; Markoulatos, P. (2007)Six echovirus strains belonging to serotypes echovirus 6, 13, and 30 were investigated in the present work by sequencing of the whole 2C gene and about 560 nt of the 5' part of 3-dimensional genomic region. Four of the 6 ... -
A seroprevalence study of poliovirus antibody against a collection of recombinant and non-recombinant poliovirus vaccine strains in the population of southern Greece
Pliaka, V.; Ruether, I. G. A.; Kyriakopoulou, Z.; Kioussi, P.; Plakokefalos, E.; Megalou, M.; Pratti, A.; Levidiotou-Stefanou, S.; Markoulatos, P. (2010)P>In this study, the serological status of the southern Greek population in the 1-10-year, 11-20-year, 21-30-year and 31-40 -year age groups with regard to Sabin vaccine strains and a collection of 15 recombinant and four ...
