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 ... -
Clonal dissemination of mupirocin-resistant staphylococci in Greek hospitals
(2004)Objectives: To determine the rates of mupirocin resistance in staphylococci during a 4 year period (1999-2002) in Greece. Materials: A total of 1200 Staphylococcus aureus and 2760 coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), ... -
Clonality of slime-producing methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci disseminated in the neonatal intensive care unit of a university hospital
(2006)Methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MR-CNS) (n = 132), isolated from pre-term neonates, were analysed to determine their antibiotic resistance patterns, clonal distribution, biofilm production and the ... -
Coagulase-negative staphylococcal bloodstream and prosthetic-device-associated infections: the role of biofilm formation and distribution of adhesin and toxin genes
(2014)Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), especially Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus haemolyticus, have emerged as opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised patients and those with indwelling medical devices. ... -
Combination of staphylococcal chromosome cassette SCCmec type V and Panton-Valentine leukocidin genes in a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus that caused necrotizing pneumonia in Greece
(2006)We describe a case of necrotizing pneumonia in Greece caused by a community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) producing Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) carrying the staphylococcal chromosome ... -
Comparative epidemiological study of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates during two time periods in a tertiary care hospital
(2014)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a nosocomial pathogen of clinical importance carrying virulence and antibiotic resistance determinants. In the present study, phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of P. aeruginosa isolates ... -
Comparison of two commercial methods with PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism of the tuf gene in the identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci
(2006)Aims: Two commercial methods for the identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) were compared with the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the amplified tuf gene, which served as the reference ... -
Dissemination of Methicillin-Susceptible CC398 Staphylococcus aureus Strains in a Rural Greek Area
(2015)A large collection of Staphylococcus aureus including a. 745 clinically significant isolates that were consecutively recovered from human infections during 2012-2013, b. 19 methicillin- susceptible (MSSA), randomly selected ... -
Emergence of a new clone carrying Panton-Valentine leukocidin genes and staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec type V among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Greece
(2008)Clonal analysis and PCR screening for the presence of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) genes was performed among 694 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) cases collected during a 2-y period in Greece. The ... -
erm(C) is the predominant genetic determinant for the expression of resistance to macrolides among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates in Greece
(2004)Objectives: Macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin type B (MLSB) resistance was determined in Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates from two University Hospitals. Methods: Antibiotic resistance was investigated by ... -
Evaluation of a novel method based on PCR Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis of the tuf gene for the identification of Staphylococcus species
(2003)A novel method, based on PCR Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis (PRA) of a part of the tuf gene (370 bp), was designed for the identification of 11 staphylococcal species, including the most common staphylococcal ... -
Factors Influencing Linezolid-Nonsusceptible Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci Dissemination Among Patients in the Intensive Care Unit: A Retrospective Cohort Study
(2013)Background: The aim of the present study was to identify risk factors for linezolid-nonsusceptible coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) dissemination in the intensive care unit. Methods: Among the 246 patients included, ... -
Linezolid-Resistant Enterococci in Greece: Epidemiological Characteristics
(2011)Background: 14 linezolid-resistant enterococci (6 Enterococcus faecium and 8 Enterococcus faecalis) collected during 2009 from patients hospitalized in intensive care units of different Greek hospitals were investigated. ...
