1. Unpacking Rational Use of Antibiotics : Policy in Medical Practice and the Medical Debate
Sammanfattning : Rational use of antibiotics–using antibiotics only when needed and in the right way–is a prioritized goal in policy aimed at preventing antimicrobial resistance. A vast body of research is devoted to understanding why unnecessary antibiotics are prescribed. LÄS MER
2. A tale of two antibiotics : Fusidic acid and Viomycin
Sammanfattning : Antibiotics that target the bacterial ribosome make up about half of all clinically used antibiotics. We have studied two ribosome targeting drugs: Fusidic acid and Viomycin. Fusidic acid inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to elongation factor G (EF-G) on the ribosome, thereby inhibiting translocation of the bacterial ribosome. LÄS MER
3. Resistant pneumococci and use of antibiotics
Sammanfattning : Pneumococcal resistance to antibiotics has become a worldwide problem. The rapid increase in frequency seems to be caused by intercontinental spread of a few resistant clones. Resistance to antibiotics in pneumococci has reduced the therapeutic arsenal for common respiratory tract infections as well as for invasive infections. LÄS MER
4. Antibiotics and infusion phlebitis. Clinical and experimental studies
Sammanfattning : Intravenous administration of antibiotics is often followed by infusion phlebitis. In this condition are vessel irritation, inflammation and sometimes superficial thrombosis included. In this thesis, the risk for infusion phlebitis for various antibiotics has been evaluated in a clinical study in 550 patients. LÄS MER
5. Molecular Interplay of Antibiotics on the Bacterial Ribosome
Sammanfattning : Inhibition of protein synthesis is one of the most common modes of action for medically useful antibiotics. This thesis presents the mechanistic studies of two chemically distinct classes of antibiotics that target bacterial ribosomes –aminoglycosides and thermorubin. LÄS MER
