1. 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/BiokemiAbstract : 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.

2. Screening for carbapenemase-associated biomarkers in Klebsiella oxytoca using matrixassisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrom
University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknikAbstract : Antibiotic resistant bacteria are threatening human health, and the resistance is progressingfaster than the development of new antimicrobial compounds. Antibiotic resistant infections cost enormous sums of money and resources, but most importantly human lives. READ MORE

4. Antibiotic combination therapies against carbapenamse producing Klebsiella pneumoniae
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : The treatment options for multidrug resistant bacteria are dwindling and it is an important issue of research in medicine to solve. One of the more problematic bacterial species is Klebsiella pneumoniae, it can cause infections with high morbidity that are difficult to treat. READ MORE

5. Screening for double carbapenem therapies effective against multidrug resistant Enterobacteriaceae
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologiAbstract : Multidrug resistant bacteria account for one of the biggest threats to human health in the future. One treatment option to be evaluated is antibiotic combination therapy. For this purpose, last- line carbapenems have been suggested, even when bacteria are resistant, e.g. READ MORE
