6. Renal dysfunction in orthopaedic surgery - with special reference to drug effects in the elderly
Sammanfattning : Total hip replacement (THR) is a common procedure, generally performed in elderly persons. Previous studies indicated that the use of isoxazolyl penicillins could induce a transient post-operative renal dysfunction in these patients. LÄS MER
7. Data-Driven Methods for Surveillance and Diagnostics of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
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
8. Species specific susceptibility testing for ß-lactam antibiotics. With special reference to staphylococci
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?.

9. Beta-Lactamase in Haemophilus ducreyi: Purification, Characterization, and Mutagenesis
Sammanfattning : Chancroid caused by Haemophilus ducreyi, has been described as a significantly predisposing factor of HIV heterosexual transmission in an endemic region of both diseases. Antibiotic resistances are extensively found in H. ducreyi and many of the resistances are due to the presence of resistance plasmids. LÄS MER
10. Antibiotic susceptibility and resistance in Neisseria meningitidis : phenotypic and genotypic characteristics
Sammanfattning : Neisseria meningitidis, also known as the meningococcus, is a globally spread obligate human bacterium causing meningitis and/or septicaemia. It is responsible for epidemics in both developed and developing countries. LÄS MER
