Lyudmila Boyanova,Galina Gergova,Rossen Nikolov,Sirigan Derejian,Elena Lazarova,Nikolai Katsarov,Ivan Mitov,Zacharii Krastev +7 more
TL;DR: Bulgarian propolis had a strong and dose-dependent activity against most of the H. pylori strains tested and the effect of propolis on H.pylori in vitro is promising, further microbiological, pharmacological and clinical trials are required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and evolution of Helicobacter pylori resistance to 6 antibacterial agents over 12 years and correlation between susceptibility testing methods
Lyudmila Boyanova,Galina Gergova,Rossen Nikolov,Lubomir Davidkov,Victor Kamburov,Christo Jelev,Ivan Mitov +6 more
TL;DR: The increasing clarithromycin resistance and presence of multidrug resistance are worrying and fluoroquinolones should be used with caution for H. pylori eradication in treated patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic microbiology in 198 cases of pleural empyema: a Bulgarian study.
Lyudmila Boyanova,Vladimir Djambazov,Galina Gergova,Dragomir Iotov,Danail Petrov,Dencho Osmanliev,Zvetan Minchev,Ivan Mitov +7 more
TL;DR: The wide diversity of isolated anaerobic genera and species and the susceptibility patterns of the isolates emphasize the role of the an aerobic microbiology in cases of pleural empyema.
Journal ArticleDOI
Campylobacter infection in 682 bulgarian patients with acute enterocolitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and other chronic intestinal diseases.
Lyudmila Boyanova,Galina Gergova,Zoya Spassova,Radka Koumanova,Penka Yaneva,Ivan Mitov,Sirigan Derejian,Zacharii Krastev +7 more
TL;DR: The involvement of Campylobacter infection in relapses of chronic intestinal disorders and the susceptibility patterns of the strains strongly emphasize the role of Campyobacter as a cause of infection in this group of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic bacteria in 118 patients with deep-space head and neck infections from the University Hospital of Maxillofacial Surgery, Sofia, Bulgaria
Lyudmila Boyanova,Rossen Kolarov,Galina Gergova,Elitsa Deliverska,Jivko Madjarov,Milen Marinov,Ivan Mitov +6 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, the start of empirical treatment could influence the frequency or rate of isolation of Fusobacterium species, and the involvement of the Bacteroides fragilis group in some head and neck infections should be considered.
