  1. 1. Avelsarbetets roll i kampen mot antibiotikaresistenta bakterier : hur kan avel och genredigering reducera behovet av antibiotikatill produktionsdjur?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Ebba Gustafsson; [2023]
    Keywords : antibiotikaresistens; avel; husdjur; selektion; bakteriell infektion; infektionsresistens; infektionstolerans; genredigering; genetisk markör; genom; CRISPR;

    Abstract : Antibiotikaresistenta bakterier utgör ett globalt hot för både sjukvård och livsmedelsproduktion då de begränsar möjligheten att behandla bakterieinfektioner hos både människor och djur. Förekomsten av resistenta bakterier växer globalt till följd av överflödig och felaktig användning av antibiotikapreparat. READ MORE

  3. 2. Effect of a plant-derived nutraceutical on the tolerance of axenically-cultured Artemia towards abiotic or biotic stressor

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Ahumuza Allan Castro; [2023]
    Keywords : Artemia; Hsp70; Vibrio campbellii; plant extract; aquaculture; abiotic stressor;

    Abstract : Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing food-production industries worldwide accounting for almost half of fish used for human consumption. Super-intensive, intensive, and semi-intensive farming practices used to produce large farm fish are increasing the frequency of disease outbreaks which is a major problem affecting sustainable aquaculture growth.

    Keywords : genetics; nitrogen fixation; sustainability; symbiosis; taxonomy;

    Abstract : Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii (Rlt) is a root-associated soil bacterium (rhizobia) capable of entering a symbiotic relationship with various species of clover (Trifolium sp.) and fix nitrogen within root nodules. READ MORE

  5. 4. Developing a Method to Study the Impact of Microbial DNA on the Brain Related to Alzheimer’s Disease – Can Food Make a Change?

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

    Author : Fuh-Tzu Yang; [2022]
    Keywords : DNA extraction; Microbiome DNA enrichment; Host DNA depletion; 16S rRNA sequencing; Alzheimer’s disease; Gut-brain axis; Microbiota; Microbial DNA; Black currant; Applied Nutrition and Food Chemistry; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Understanding the gut-brain-microbiota axis can help us provide a new tool to manage conditions such as Alzheimer’s. However, a major challenge is selectively amplifying the bacterial DNA which is present at a much lower level than the host DNA. READ MORE

  6. 5. Towards an understanding of the Retraction of TYPE IV PILI as a Mechanoresponse upon surface contact in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Antoine Loussouarn; [2022]
    Keywords : Mechanosensing; Microscopy; Bacteria; Microfabrication; Genetics; Molecular Biology; Biophysics;

    Abstract : Pseudomonas Aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium which is involved in nosocomial infections and which causes increasing concern in healthcare due to its high antibiotic resistance. During an infection by P.aeruginosa, the bacteria proliferate in the host’s organism by leveraging motility abilities. READ MORE
