    Sammanfattning : Bloodstream infection (blood poisoning) and antibiotic resistance are increasing worldwide, and already cause the loss of millions of human lives each year. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), bloodstream infections (BSIs) represent 20% of global mortality on a par with cardiac infarct, stroke, and major trauma. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Epidemiology of ESBL-producing E. coli with special reference to outbreak detection

    Författare :Lisa Helldal; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; E. coli; epidemiology; surveillance;

    Sammanfattning : Multidrug resistant bacteria, particularly extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE), are becoming a major health concern. ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-E. coli) is the most prevalent type. ESBL-genes are carried on plasmids, often by bacteria belonging to clones with properties that facilitate transmission.

  4. 18. Plasmid mediated antibiotic resistance : with focus on extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)

    Författare :Alma Brolund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Enterobacteriaceae is a family of bacteria including Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae that are common colonizers of the gastrointestinal tract. Extended spectrum β- lactamases (ESBL) are bacterial enzymes that degrade β-lactam antibiotics and thus make the bacteria resistant to β-lactam antibiotics. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Bloodstream infections with ESBL-producing Enterobacterales : prediction, rapid diagnosis and molecular epidemiology

    Författare :Inga Fröding; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are a threat to public health worldwide. Particularly, the increase of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales (EPE) is a significant clinical problem. ESBLs confer resistance to cephalosporins and carbapenemases confer resistance to carbapenems. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Carriage of ESBL (extended spectrum beta-lactamases)-producing bacteria : knowledge, emotional impact and risk assessment

    Författare :Susanne Wiklund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases;

    Sammanfattning : Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae, have become a growing public health threat. The overall aim of this thesis was to explore how the increasing prevalence of ESBL-producing bacteria affects different groups among the Swedish population. LÄS MER
