1. 1. Detection of plasmid families carrying ESBL genes in clinical and environmental E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates

   University essay from Högskolan Kristianstad/Fakulteten för naturvetenskap

   Author : Johanna Nilsson; [2019]
   Keywords : β-lactamases; ESBLs; bla-genes; plasmid families; incompatibility groups; replicon typing; E. coli; K. pneumoniae;

   Abstract : Extended Spectrum β-Lactamases (ESBLs) are produced by the Enterobacteriaceae bacterial family, mainly by E. coli and K. pneumoniae. As these species are some of the main causes of urinary tract infections and sepsis, ESBL-production is of major concern. READ MORE

3. 2. Probes for ESBL : A Method for Production of Probe Targets in Antibiotic Resistant Genes

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Caitlin Haughey; Lauri Mesilaakso; Erik Berner-Wik; Emma Östlund; Jonatan Ulfsparre; Hampus Olin; [2017]
   Keywords : Antibiotic resistance; ESBL; Bioinformatics; Antibiotikaresistens; ESBL; Bioinformatik;

   Abstract : This project aimed to find a method for producing potential probe targets for identification of ESBL (Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase) genes in bacteria. ESBLs are a type of enzymes responsible for antibiotic resistance in many bacteria. READ MORE

4. 3. Genotyping Escherichia coli isolates by Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis

   University essay from Institutionen för livsvetenskaper

   Author : Shahnaz Askarian Nameghi; [2007]
   Keywords : PFGE; E-coli; ;

   Abstract : Transmission of bacterial strains between patients is a serious problem in hospitals and with the increasing rate of antibiotic resistance the problem has farther escalated. Enterobacteriaceae produced extended-spectrum beta-lactamses (ESBLs), especially Escherichia coli (E-coli), are increasingly important nosocomial pathogens (7, 8). READ MORE

5. 4. Evaluation of phenotypic and genotypic extended-spectrum beta-lactamase detection methods

   University essay from Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Louise Svärd; [2007]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The emergence and spread of resistance in Enterobacteriaceae is a growing concern in human medicine today. Enterobacteriaceae producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) have become efficient at inactivating β-lactam antibiotics especially the newer third generation cephalosporins. READ MORE

6. 5. Potential aquatic bacterial pathogens in thePhilippines and Thailand : studies on the occurrence, characterisation, detection ofpotential virulence determinants and antimicrobialsusceptibility profile

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

   Author : Ramon Maluping; [2004]
   Keywords : Aeromonas spp.; Vibrio spp.; P. shigelloides; Philippines; Thailand; virulence determinants; antimicrobial susceptibility;

   Abstract : Strains of Aeromonas spp., `non–cholera vibrios´(NCVs) and Plesiomonas shigelloides isolated from aquatic environments and fish and human diarrhoeal cases in the Philippines and Thailand were characterised for potential virulencemarkers, such as the production of cytotoxin, cell-associated and cell-free haemolysin and their capacity to adhere to human intestinal (Henle 407) cells invitro.
