| clonal relatedness of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci in the haemodialysis unit of a single university centre in greece. | coagulase-negative staphylococci (cons) are frequently encountered pathogens in hospital environment. dialysis patients, often carrying central venous catheters, are prone to cons infections. methicillin-resistant (mr) staphylococci in hospitals are resistant to multiple antibiotics and may cause an overall increase in the incidence of staphylococcal infections rather than simply replacing the more susceptible strains. the aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance and the cl ... | 2008 | 18305314 |
| survey of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci in the hospitals of central greece. | a sample of 450 consecutive, non-replicated coagulase-negative staphylococci (cons), collected from clinical specimens during the period 2000-2001 from the five major hospitals of thessaly district (central greece) were investigated for resistance to methicillin. most of the isolates had been collected in a sporadic fashion from the intensive care units and the surgical wards of the participating hospitals. the majority of the isolates (76%) were staphylococcus epidermidis (50%), staphylococcus ... | 2001 | 11738345 |
