These infections are often caused by multidrug-resistant strains of S. epidermidis (MDRSE). LÄS MER
12. 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?.
