  1. 1. The role of wastewater in surveillance and emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria

    Författare :Marion Hutinel; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; Bacteriology; Antibiotic resistance; Surveillance; Horizontal gene transfer; HGT; Conjugation; Plasmids; Epidemiology; CPE; E. coli; Carbapenamase; Linezolid; Colistin; Selection; sul4; OXA-48; gar; NDM; mcr; wastewater; sewage; sewer;

    Sammanfattning : As antibiotic resistance spreads among bacterial pathogens, it reduces treatment options and increases treatment failures of infectious diseases. Strategies employed to reduce this spread or adapt to its consequences need to be based on reliable surveillance data which is lacking in many countries, often due to limited resources. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Computational discovery of antibiotic resistance genes and their horizontal transfer

    Författare :David Lund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phylogenetic analysis; Antibiotic resistance; horizontal gene transfer; computational screening;

    Sammanfattning : Antibiotic resistance is increasing among clinical infections and represents one of the most serious threats to public health. Pathogens often become resistant by acquiring mobile antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Experimental Evolution : and Fitness Effects of Mutations

    Författare :Anna Knöppel; Dan I Andersson; Stanley Maloy; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Experimental evolution; Fitness effects; mutations; S20; fis; ribosome; horizontal gene transfer; adaptation; synonymous mutations; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Sammanfattning : Bacteria have small, streamlined genomes and evolve rapidly. Their large population sizes allow selection to be the main driver of evolution. With advances in sequencing technologies and precise methods for genetic engineering, many bacteria are excellent models for studying elementary questions in evolutionary biology. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Developing Humidified Gas Turbine Cycles

    Författare :Michael Bartlett; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :advanced gas turbine cycles; evaporative; humidified; power; heat and power;

    Sammanfattning : As a result of their unique heat recovery properties,Humidified Gas Turbine (HGT) cycles have the potential todeliver resource-effective energy to society. The EvaporativeGas Turbine (EvGT) Consortium in Sweden has been studying thesetypes of cycles for nearly a decade, but now stands at acrossroads, with commercial demonstration remaining. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Genomics of Sorocarpic Amoebae

    Författare :Sanea Sheikh; Sandra L. Baldauf; Matthew W. Brown; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Sorocarpy is the aggregation of unicellular organisms to form multicellular fruiting bodies (sorocarps). This thesis is about the two best-known groups of sorocarpic amoebae, Dictyostelids and Acrasids.Paper I describes assembly and analysis of a multigene dataset to identify the root of the dictyostelid tree.
