Iodine intake in Sweden is considered adequate for the general population due to iodization of table salt since 1936 but data on pregnant and breastfeeding women (i.e. LÄS MER

Sammanfattning : The main objective of this thesis was to identify methods for the detection of ß-lactam resistance in staphylococci, bacteria often causing nosocomial infections. Detection of ß-lactam resistance in these species is difficult due to strong regulation of genes encoding for the two main resistance mechanisms, ß-lactamase production and the penicillin-binding protein (PBP) 2?.
