1. Epidemiology of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli
Sammanfattning : Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase and plasmid mediated AmpC (ESBL/pAmpC)-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) has during the last decades emerged worldwide and is now an increasing problem in both human and animal health. LÄS MER
2. Long-term molecular epidemiology of extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing Escherichia coli in a low-endemic setting
Sammanfattning : Escherichia coli is a commensal inhabitant in the gastro-intestinal tract of humans and animals but it is also the most common bacterial species causing urinary tract infection, which ranges in severity from distal cystitis to urosepsis and septic shock. During the past decades, the prevalence of antibiotic resistant E. LÄS MER
3. Burden of disease and identification of intervention targets in extended-spectrum β-lactamase-associated infections
Sammanfattning : Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE) have surged globally since the early 2000s, partly due to dissemination of CTX-M-15 producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) sequence type 131 and its sub-lineages H30-R and H30-Rx. LÄS MER
4. Clinical Impact of Bloodstream Infections – Characterization, Risk factors and Outcome
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
5. Novel diagnostic methods for rapid characterization of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase- and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae
Sammanfattning : Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli are two of the most clinically important pathogens of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Both can cause severe infections includ-ing urinary tract infections (UTI), bloodstream infections (BSI) and pneumonia. Both are also involved in dissemination of antibiotic resistance. LÄS MER
