1. Epidemiology of Enterococci with Acquired Resistance to Antibiotics in Sweden : Special emphasis on Ampicillin and Vancomycin
Sammanfattning : The first hospital outbreak of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and carriage rates of VRE and ampicillin-resistant enterococci (ARE) in Sweden were investigated. Clonal relationships and mutations in fluoroquinolone resistance determining regions among ARE collected nation-wide were studied. LÄS MER
2. Different roles of Enterococcus faecium from a human perspective
Sammanfattning : Food supplements containing viable bacteria, so called probiotics, have been suggested to have beneficial health effects due to their influence on the normal microflora. However, there has been safety concern regarding probiotics containing Enterococcus faecium. LÄS MER
3. Molecular epidemiology of clinical Enterococcus faecium
Sammanfattning : Enterococci are today the third most commonly isolated species from bloodstream infections, and problems with ampicillin and vancomycin resistance are increasing. Some putative virulence factors such as the enterococcal surface protein (Esp) and hyaluronidase (Hyl) have been described in Enterococcus faecium. LÄS MER
4. Enterococci in Swedish intensive care units : studies on epidemiology, mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and virulence factors
Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis was to study enterococci in Sweden, their resistance to antibiotics in general and high-level gentamicin resistance (HLGR) in particular, with a special focus on the ICU setting. Dynamics of rectal colonisation during prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay was assessed. LÄS MER
5. Staphylococci and Enterococci : Studies on activity of antimicrobial agents and detection of genes involved in biofilm formation
Sammanfattning : The Gram-positive cocci, Staphylococcus aureus, coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS), Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium, are the bacteria most often isolated from patients with hospital acquired infections. S. LÄS MER
