1. 16. Bakteriologiska fynd hos diande grisar med artrit

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Magdalena Sandström; [2022]
   Keywords : artrit; ledinflammation; diande grisar; smågrisar; antibiotikaresistens; bakteriella agens;

   Abstract : Infektiös artrit är en vanlig orsak till antibiotikabehandling av diande grisar, både i Sverige och i andra länder. Tidigt insatt behandling är viktig för att lederna inte ska få bestående skador. För att behandlingen ska ge önskad effekt får inte bakterien som orsakar infektionen vara resistent mot den aktuella substansen. READ MORE

3. 17. The Binding Mechanism of Carbapenems in the Class A beta-lactamase IMI-1 : A Molecular Dynamics Study of Ligand Stability

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Biokemi

   Author : Isabell Lindahl; [2022]
   Keywords : antibiotic resistance; IMI-1; betalactamase; Carbapenemase; free energy; LIE; linear interaction energy; β-lactamase; meropenem; biapenem; imipenem; active site;

   Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is a global and accelerating matter. Over time, the bacteria have evolved several defense mechanisms against the antibiotics. One of the defense mechanisms is that the bacteria can produce enzymes with the ability to hydrolyze the characteristic b-lactam ring of the antibiotics. These enzymes are called b-lactamases.

4. 18. Construction and Evaluation of a Cre-lox-Based Fluorescent Conjugation Tracking System

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Carl Brännström; [2022]
   Keywords : Antibiotic resistance; horizontal gene transfer; plasmids; conjugation; conjugational frequency; Cre loxP system;

   Abstract : Plasmids are small, circular, extrachromosomal double-stranded genetic elements present in bacteria. Plasmids can replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome and play an important role as a transmitter of antibiotic resistance genes between bacteria. READ MORE

5. 19. Topical formulation of antimicrobials for wound care

   Keywords : topical formulation; antibiotic resistance; topical antimicrobial formulation; topical gel; AMP; AP114; amoxicillin; wound care; poloxamer; HPMC;

   Abstract : The increasing spread of antibiotic resistance among bacteria poses a major threat to the public health. There is an urge for the development of innovative formulations of existing and new antibiotics. READ MORE

6. 20. Epidemiology, Risk Factors, Hidden Gut Resistome and Characterization of Multidrug-Resistant Enterobacterales Colonizing the Intestinal Tract of Swiss Expatriates

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Pablo Porragas Paseiro; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : A study following long-term residents from countries with low prevalence of multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales residing in countries with high prevalence has never been done before at this scale. In this ongoing work, we analyzed the epidemiology and risk factors for colonization with multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales in 57 Swiss embassy employees and expatriates stationed worldwide by administering a questionnaire to establish facets of participants' diet, lifestyle, and medical history.
