1. Bacterial viruses targeting multi-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli
Sammanfattning : The global increase in antibiotic resistance levels in bacteria is a growing concern to our society and highlights the need for alternative strategies to combat bacterial infections. Bacterial viruses (phages) are the natural predators of bacteria and are as diverse as their hosts, but our understanding of them is limited. LÄS MER
2. Epidemiological and molecular biological studies of multi-resistant methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus
Sammanfattning : Antibiotic resistance is increasingly recognised as a major problem and threat. During the last decades Gram-positive bacteria in general, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in particular, have been in focus both concerning matters of antibiotic resistance and as pathogens causing health care-associated (nosocomial) infections. LÄS MER
3. The efficacy of bacterial viruses against multi-resistant Escherichia coli: from isolation to pharmacology
Sammanfattning : The increase of multi-resistant bacteria highlights that the golden era of antibiotics is ending and that alternative treatmentsare urgently needed. Phages have been historically used to treat bacterial infections prior to the discovery of antibiotics and have gained renewed interest in the past decade. LÄS MER
4. MRSA and other resistant bacteria : prevalence, patient and staff experiences, wounds and infection control
Sammanfattning : Antibiotic resistance has become a major and serious global problem in healthcare. Limited treatment options for infections caused by these organisms can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. LÄS MER
5. Antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria affecting children from León, Nicaragua
Sammanfattning : Annual child mortality has declined in the world from 12.5 million in 1990 to 8.8 million in 2008. Yet, infectious diseases are still the major cause of death in this group (6. LÄS MER
