1. 16. Evaluation of the molecular epidemiology of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli associated with blood stream infections in China

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

   Author : Olsson Anna; [2017]
   Keywords : Antibiotic resistance ESBL-producing E. coli Sepsis Multi Locus Sequence Typing MLST ;

   Abstract : The increasing number of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) associated with sepsis in China is the reason for designing the current study. During 2014-2016, thirty hospitals representing 10 different provinces in China was involved in collecting E. coli isolates causing blood stream infections. READ MORE

3. 17. Concentrations of inflammatory markers and clinical findings in bitches surgically treated for pyometra in Khon Kaen, Thailand

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Anna Ahlén; [2017]
   Keywords : albumin; iron; C-reactive protein; pyometra; biomarkers; SIRS; sepsis;

   Abstract : Pyometra is a common reproductive disease affecting intact bitches. The disease is defined by accumulation of purulent material within the uterus, and can potentially be life-threatening. Clinically, affected bitches can present with a variety of signs and diagnosis can be challenging in more indistinct cases. READ MORE

4. 18. Algorithms for antibiotic susceptibility testing for pathogens causing sepsis

   University essay from

   Author : Stina Åhag; [2017]
   Keywords : Sepsis; Antibiotic resistance; Antibiotic susceptibility testing; Minimal inhibitory concentration;

   Abstract : This study is a part of a project at Q-linea that aims to present a rapid diagnostic instrument to speed up the process of identification of pathogens and determination of MIC-values (Minimal Inhibitory Concentration) of antibiotic needed to treat patients with sepsis. Specifically, this report is aimed to describe the development and implementation of algorithms that examine susceptibility profiles ofsepsis related pathogens where the bacteria have been exposed to different antibiotics and by different lapse of concentrations.

5. 19. Antimicrobial resistance in indicator Escherichia coli from small-scale swine herds in north-eastern Thailand

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : David Karlsson; [2016]
   Keywords : antimicrobial resistance; Thailand; Escherichia coli; swine; pig; indicator bacteria; minimum inhibitory concentration; extended spectrum beta-lactamase; multiresistance;

   Abstract : Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a fast growing problem throughout the world, and as a consequence effective treatment of various infections is jeopardized. This results in prolonged illness and increased mortality amongst patients as well as increased health care costs. READ MORE

6. 20. 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
