  1. 1. The synthesis of dendritic hydrogels and inorganic nanoparticles and their application as antibacterial and imaging materials

    Författare :Yanmiao Fan; Michael Malkoch; Annelie Brauner; Mauri Kostiainen; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :antibacterial hydrogels; dendritic polymers; dendrimers; silicon nanoparticles; cellulose nanofibrils; drug-resistant bacteria; wound dressings; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Sammanfattning : AbstractThe overuse and misuse of conventional antibiotics has caused increased prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria, the infections of which cause high mortality and economic losses per year. It is therefore crucial to develop new technologies and treatments for infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Extremely drug resistant E. coli and K. pneumoniae : novel approaches against their spread and related infections

    Författare :Angela Camporeale; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Antibiotic resistance in Enterobacteriaceae is a well-established hindrance and the spread of pathogenic high-risk clones harboring extended-spectrum -lactamases (ESBLs) and carbapenemases is posing a global health challenge, due to very less treatment alternatives. Particular lineages from the major representative species E. coli and K. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Data-Driven Methods for Surveillance and Diagnostics of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria

    Författare :Juan Salvador Inda Díaz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antibiotic resistance; metagenomics; data-driven diagnostics; transformers;

    Sammanfattning : Antimicrobial resistance is a rapidly growing challenge for the healthcare sector and multi-drug resistant bacterial infections are the cause of nearly a million deaths annually worldwide. Antibiotic resistance is conferred by either antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) which can be acquired by horizontal gene transfer between bacterial cells or by mutations in pre-existing DNA. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Health hazards associated with dissemination of bacterial strains in waste water recycling

    Författare :Mokhlasur Rahman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Treated waste effluents with low levels of chemical and microbiological contents are used for domestic, industrial, agricultural and aquacultural purposes worldwide, and it is estimated that one tenth or more of the world’s population consume food produced through irrigation with wastewater. Treated hospital waste effluents may contain pathogenic and drug resistant bacteria, which constitutes the most dangerous single risk factor for dissemination of pathogenic and drug resistant organisms to the environment.

    Sammanfattning : Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the pathogen causing tuberculosis (TB), a disease most often affecting the lung. 1.5 million people die annually due to TB, mainly in low-income countries. LÄS MER
