1. 1. Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing: Effects Of Variability In Technical Factors On Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Using Broth Microdilution

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

   Author : Seemal Aziz; [2021]
   Keywords : Antibiotic susceptibility settings; broth microdilution; antimicrobial resistance; minimum inhibitory concentration; MIC; AST; Sepsis;

   Abstract : Background Broth microdilution (BMD) is a gold-standard reference method to determine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics. For this, a standardized concentration of bacterial inoculum (2e5–8e5 colony-forming units, CFU/ml) is added to progressively higher concentrations of antibiotics. READ MORE

3. 2. Potential Application of Multiplex Automated Genome Engineering (MAGE) and One-Step Curing Plasmid System for Environmental Cambodian Enterobacterial Isolates

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

   Author : Olivia Alexandra; [2021]
   Keywords : Antimicrobial resistance; plasmid curing; environmental isolates; recombineering; enterobacteria;

   Abstract : Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is concerning because it limits antimicrobial drug treatment options. AMR occurs by the overuse and misuse of antimicrobial drugs. In environmental settings, AMR can disseminate from places of high use, which leads to increased exposure to humans and animals. READ MORE

4. 3. Growth Dynamics, Antibiotic Susceptibility and the Effect of Sublethal Ciprofloxacin Concentrations in Susceptible and Resistant Escherichia coli in Biofilm

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Jenny Fernberg; [2019]
   Keywords : Biofilm; Escherichia coli; CFT073; BPC; MBIC; MSC; Ciprofloxacin; Streptomycin; Rifampicin; Antibiotic resistance; Urinary Tract Infections; Growth dynamics; Antibiotic susceptibility; S83F; K42N; S531L; Sub-MIC;

   Abstract : Instead of planktonic growth in nature, many species of bacteria form biofilm to survive in harsh conditions. Although many chronic bacterial infections are caused by bacterial species in a biofilm lifestyle, previous research has focused on studying antibiotic resistance in planktonic growth. Here we used a modified MBEC assay, i.e. READ MORE

5. 4. Microbiological quality and occurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in ready-to-eat salad

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Tamara Lupan; [2016]
   Keywords : food technology; livsmedelsteknologi; Technology and Engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

   Abstract : An increase in demand for fresh vegetables resulted in an increased production of minimally processed, ready-to-eat salad in Sweden. That also brought new food safety challenges that are yet to be addressed. READ MORE
