  1. 6. 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. 7. Sepsis-associated Escherichia coli whole-genome sequencing analysis using in-house developed pipeline and 1928 diagnostics tool

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Geivi Lember; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that is caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Timely detection of sepsis and antibiotic treatment is important for the patient’s recovery from sepsis. READ MORE

  4. 8. 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

  5. 9. The influence of antimicrobial agents on the development of antibiotic resistance in the vaginal bacterial flora of artificially inseminated mares : a study on mares in a stud environment

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Elin Wilén; [2021]
    Keywords : antibiotics; antimicrobial resistance; bacteriology; breeding; equine reproduction; reproductive techniques; semen extender; stud farm;

    Abstract : In Sweden and in many other countries, artificial insemination (AI) is frequently used in horse breeding. The technology makes it possible to use genetic material from horses in different geographical locations in an effective way, minimizing the risk of infection or even injury to both horses and stud personnel.

  6. 10. Antibiotic resistance in Streptococcus agalactiae isolates from dairy camels in Kenya

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Emelie Lejon Flodin; [2021]
    Keywords : GBS; Camelus dromedarius; tetracycline resistance; mastitis; milk; pastoralist;

    Abstract : Camels (Camelus dromedarius) are the most valuable livestock species in the arid and semi-arid lands in the Horn of Africa where the majority of the human population adopts a pastoralist lifestyle with extensive animal husbandry. Camels provide an important food source, milk, which is considered to be the most important commodity, and a source of income for the pastoralists. READ MORE
