1. 1. Antibiotic susceptibility and resistance in Neisseria meningitidis : phenotypic and genotypic characteristics

   Författare :Sara Thulin Hedberg; Magnus Unemo; Per Olcén; Hans Fredlund; Ian Feavers; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neisseria meningitidis; meningococcal disease; antibiotic resistance; antibiotic susceptbility; biological cost; PCR; sequencing; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Microbiology; immunology; infectious diseases; Mikrobiologi; immunologi; infektionssjukdomar; Medical microbiology; Medicinsk mikrobiologi; Bacteriology; Bakteriologi; Biomedicin; Biomedicine; Medicin; Medicine;

   Sammanfattning : Neisseria meningitidis, also known as the meningococcus, is a globally spread obligate human bacterium causing meningitis and/or septicaemia. It is responsible for epidemics in both developed and developing countries. LÄS MER

3. 2. Battling Bacterial Biofilm - antibiotic regimens targeting Grampositive pathogens in biofilm

   Författare :Anna Holmberg; Sektion III; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biofilm; antibiotic susceptibility; prosthetic joint infection; MBEC; Enterococcus faecalis; Enterococcus faecium; Propionibacterium acnes.;

   Sammanfattning : AbstractBacteria in most environments encase themselves in a hydrated matrix of polysaccharide and protein, forming organized communities called biofilms. In the biofilm bacteria are protected against hostile environments. Biofilms are important clinically because of their persistence despite host defence and their recalcitrance to antimicrobials.

4. 3. Development of a robust and rapid microfluidics-based antibiotic susceptibility test : From prototype to clinical implementation

   Författare :Christer Malmberg; Johan Kreuger; Thomas Tängdén; Till Bachmann; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; lab-on-a-chip; rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing; AST; sepsis; microfluidics; blood culture; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Even though bacteria normally are rapidly cleared from the blood by the immune system, a blood stream infection may arise, in turn possibly leading to sepsis and septic shock. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition, where the inflammatory response to infection targets tissues and organs. LÄS MER

5. 4. Extended-Spectrum ß-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae : Antibiotic consumption, Detection and Resistance Epidemiology

   Författare :Åse Östholm Balkhed; Lennart Nilsson; Håkan Hanberger; Hans-Jurg Monstein; Anita Hällgren; Mats Kalin; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Extended-Spectrum ß-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae; Antibiotic consumption; Detection Methods; Multiplex PCR; Resistance Epidemiology; Multi-resistance; E. coli; ESBL; fecal carriage; faecal carriage; travel;

   Sammanfattning : ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae are emerging worldwide and they are frequently multi-drug resistant, thus limiting treatment options for infections caused by these pathogens.The overall aim of the thesis was to investigate ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in a Swedish county.

7. 5. New AI-based methods for studying antibiotic-resistant bacteria

   Författare :Juan Salvador Inda Díaz; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transformers; Antibiotic Resistance; Infectious Diseases; Metagenomics; Data-driven Diagnostics;

   Sammanfattning : Antibiotic resistance is a growing challenge for human health, causing millions of deaths worldwide annually. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), acquired through mutations in existing genes or horizontal gene transfer, are the primary cause of bacterial resistance. LÄS MER
