1. 1. Characterization of Coagulase Positive Staphylococci from Pig Carcasses from Swedish Slaughterhouses

   University essay from Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Anika Neskovic; [2008]
   Keywords : S. aureus; biotyping; enterotoxin; antibiotics; porcine;

   Abstract : The aim was to characterize 100 coagulase positive staphylococci isolates originating from pig carcasses from Swedish slaughterhouses by biotyping, antibiotic susceptibility testing, typing with pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and real-time PCR-screening of the enterotoxin genes sea, sec, seg and sei in order to evaluate the impact on human health. The biotyping classified 56 as non host specific (NHS), 29 as human biotype, five as poultry, one as ovine, one as bovine biotype and eight were unclassified (UCF). READ MORE

3. 2. Exposure of Caco-2 cells to PFOS and PFOA

   University essay from Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Anika Neskovic; [2007]
   Keywords : CCM; perfluorooctane sulfonic acid; perfluorooctanoic acid; trans epithelial resistance; 14C-mannitol;

   Abstract : The toxicity of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was measured. When Caco-2 cells from human adenocarcinoma are cultivated on a filter a monolayer is formed with properties similar to human duodenum epithelium. The Caco-2 cells grown on filter were exposed to the environmental contaminants PFOS and PFOA. READ MORE
