1. 1. Extended-Spectrum ß-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae : Antibiotic consumption, Detection and Resistance Epidemiology

   Författare :Åse Östholm Balkhed; Lennart Nilsson; Håkan Hanberger; Hans-Jurg Monstein; Anita Hällgren; Mats Kalin; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Extended-Spectrum ß-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae; Antibiotic consumption; Detection Methods; Multiplex PCR; Resistance Epidemiology; Multi-resistance; E. coli; ESBL; fecal carriage; faecal carriage; travel;

   Sammanfattning : ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae are emerging worldwide and they are frequently multi-drug resistant, thus limiting treatment options for infections caused by these pathogens.The overall aim of the thesis was to investigate ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in a Swedish county.

3. 2. Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Duration of Carriage

   Författare :Johan Tham; Enheten för infektionssjukdomar; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase; ESBL; risk factors; resistant bacteria; E. coli; Enterobacteriaceae; antibiotics; food;

   Sammanfattning : In human medicine, the most important family of bacteria is Enterobacteriaceae, which includes genera and species that cause well-defined diseases and also nosocomial infections. These bacteria can give rise to numerous infections such as septicaemia and urinary tract infections. LÄS MER

4. 3. Antibiotic Resistance and Fitness of Escherichia coli in the Infantile Commensal Microbiota

   Författare :Nahid Karami; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ampicillin; tetracycline; in vivo fitness; persistence; gene transfer; intestinal; blaTEM Escherichia coli;

   Sammanfattning : Microbial resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem worldwide. Resistance develops not only in microbes which are the targets of the antibiotic treatment, but also in those belonging to the normal microbiota of the treated host. Little is known on the ecological consequences of antibiotic resistance in commensal bacteria. LÄS MER

5. 4. Population structure and antibiotic resistance of the genus enterococcus in humans, animals and the environment

   Författare :Aina Iversen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Enterococci; epidemiology; ecology; food animals; humans; environment; vancomycin resistance; sewage; transmission; diversity; antibiotic resistance; surveillance;

   Sammanfattning : Enterococci belong to the normal intestinal flora of humans and animals. An increased prevalence of antibiotic resistant enterococci causing nosocomial infections has drawn attention to the epidemiology and emergence of antibiotic resistance in this genus. LÄS MER

7. 5. Colonization, persistence and virulence factors in Escherichia coli strains in the human intestinal microflora

   Författare :Forough Nowrouzian; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Escherichia coli; large intestine; infant; newborn; bacterial adhesins; hemolysins;

   Sammanfattning : Escherichia coli is a member of the normal intestinal microflora of man and many animals. In this thesis, various aspects of the E. coli colonization pattern were studied, especially the role of so called virulence factors for persistence of E. coli in the gut microflora. LÄS MER
