    Sammanfattning : The extensive medical and agricultural use and misuse of antibiotics during the last 70 years has caused an enrichment of resistant pathogenic bacteria that now severely threatens our capacity to efficiently treat bacterial infections. While is has been known for a long time that high concentrations of antibiotics can select for resistant mutants, less is known about the lower limit at which antibiotics can be selective and enrich for resistant bacteria.

  3. 2. Deliberations on the impact of antibiotic contamination on dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes in aquatic environments

    Författare :Björn Berglund; Per-Eric Lindgren; Dan I. Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The great success of antibiotics in treating bacterial infectious diseases has been hampered by the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Not only does antibiotic resistance threaten to increase the difficulty in treating bacterial infectious diseases, but it could also make medical procedures such as routine surgery and organ transplantations very dangerous to perform.

  4. 3. Antibiotic sensitivity and horizontal gene transfer in Escherichia coli - A genome-wide perspective

    Författare :Martin Palm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antibiotics; antibiotic resistance; Escherichia coli; heavy metals; bacterial conjugation; pangenome; sub-inhibitory;

    Sammanfattning : Since their discovery in the early 20th century, antibiotics have truly revolutionized human medicine. They have allowed us to treat diseases that were previously untreatable and have become a staple of modern medicine. However, along with the human use of antibiotics pathogens resistant to antibiotics emerged. LÄS MER
