  1. 16. Viridans group streptococci septicaemia and endocarditis : molecular diagnostics, antibiotic susceptibility and cinical aspects

    Författare :Katarina Westling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Viridans group streptococci; septicaemia; endocarditis; molecular diagnostics; rnpb; antibiotic susceptibility; linezolid; dalbavancin; tigecyclin;

    Sammanfattning : Viridans group streptococci (VGS) are inhabitants in the oral cavity and in the gastrointestinal tract. They cause severe infections, they are responsible for up to 39 % of the cases of septicaemia in neutropenic patients with haematological diseases and cause infective endocarditis (IE), mainly in patients with native valves and previous heart disease.

  3. 17. Antibiotic resistance : implications of hospital practices for public health : a study from Hanoi, Vietnam

    Författare :La Thi Quynh Lien; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :antibiotic resistance;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Antibiotic resistance is a global challenge, requiring urgent attention. Inefficient hospital infection control and hospital dissemination of antibiotic residues and antibiotic resistant bacteria contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance. LÄS MER

  4. 18. β-lactam combinations against multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales : Exploring combination effects and resistance development

    Författare :Lisa Allander; Thomas Tängdén; Linus Sandegren; Pernilla Lagerbäck; Arnfinn Sundsfjord; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gram-negative bacteria; antibiotic combination therapy; antibiotic resistance; beta-lactams; beta-lactamase inhibitors; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

    Sammanfattning : The β-lactam antibiotics are a cornerstone in treating bacterial infections, but the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance worldwide threatens their effectiveness. The main driver of β-lactam resistance is the production of β-lactamases, which are bacterial enzymes that inactivate the antibiotic. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Lessons from diagnosis-prescribing and antibiotic resistance surveillance in Ujjain, India : the lull before the storm

    Författare :Ashish Pathak; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :antibiotic prescribing;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The evolution of antibiotic resistance is a global public health crisis building over decades. In this build-up antibiotic use has been the main driver for antibiotic resistance. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Silicon Nanowire Based Sensors for Bacterial Tests

    Författare :Yingtao Yu; Zhen Zhang; Mihai Adrian Ionescu; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; silicon nanowire; field-effect transistor; antibiotic susceptibility test; bacterial metabolism; nanoelectromechanical sensor; multiplexed detection;

    Sammanfattning : Rapid and reliable antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) is urgently required to diagnose bacterial infectious diseases and avoid antibiotic misuse, providing valuable information on the efficacy of antibiotic agents and their dosages for treatment. However, the currently employed phenotypic ASTs normally demand the growth of bacteria into colonies, which usually takes more than two days. LÄS MER
