  1. 1. Low-concentration Bacteria Separation from Whole Blood through a Slanted Filter in a Centrifuge Tube

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Kaiyang Zeng; [2023]
    Keywords : sepsis; bloodstream infection; bacteria; blood; separation; centrifuge; sedimentation; filter; falcon tube; sepsis; blodsmittsamhet; bakterier; blod; separation; centrifugering; sedimentering; filter; falcon-rör;

    Abstract : Sepsis characterized by severe bloodstream bacterial infection that results in high mortality rates and medical expenses has become a global healthcare challenge. The current clinical sepsis diagnosis is based on blood culture and requires a long waiting time, delaying effective treatments. READ MORE

  3. 2. Biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance in klebsiella pneumoniae: a meta-analysis study

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Afzal Mohammed; [2021]
    Keywords : Biofilm; Antibiotic Resistance; Antimicrobial Resistance; K. Pneumonia;

    Abstract : The study explored the prevalence of biofilm formers and its association with multidrug resistance in Klebsiella Pneumonia, a gram-negative bacterium that has high propensity to form antibiotic resistant strains and forms biofilms. Biofilms are complex microbial community with attributes that vary from planktonic cells. READ MORE

  4. 3. Antibiotic combination therapies against carbapenamse producing Klebsiella pneumoniae

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Thomas Söderhäll; [2021]
    Keywords : Klebsiella pneumoniae; carbapenem resistance; carbapenemase; combination therapy; meropenem; colistin; avibactam; constucts; porins;

    Abstract : 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. 4. 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

  6. 5. A Prediction of Antibiotic Resistance with Regard to Urinary and Respiratory Tract Infections

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Sinclair Bella; Wallnäs Felicia; Belin Stella; Olby Erik; Söderberg Hampus; [2018]
    Keywords : Antibiotic resistance; UTI; RTI; Forecast; Prediction;

    Abstract : In this project we set out to find when the resistance level against first line antibiotics would reach 20%. This was executed by first defining relevant bacteria and antibiotics for urinary and respiratory tract infections (UTI's, RTI's). READ MORE
