  1. 1. Epidemiology and genotyping of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with amplicon-based Nanopore-sequencing : Creating a panel of clinically relevant genes

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Max Koivistoinen Jonsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Amplicon-sequencing; Genomic typing; MRSA; MSSA; MinION;

    Abstract : Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a variant of the more common Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), an opportunistic pathogen a portion of the human population carries as normal bacterial flora. When an outbreak of MRSA occurs, it is often important to determine if and how these strains are related to each other. READ MORE

  3. 2. Novel ways of treating bacterial skin infections: the antimicrobial peptides REI-26 and CD4-PP

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Magdalena de Arriba Sánchez de la Campa; [2022]
    Keywords : Antimicrobial peptides; skin infections; wound healing;

    Abstract : Severe skin and soft-tissue infections can lead to septic shock and organ failure. Antibiotic treatment is turning ineffective due to the rise of antimicrobial resistance. This calls for the need for novel antimicrobial therapies such as antimicrobial peptides. READ MORE

  4. 3. Produktion av biofilm med MRSA, MRSP eller Campylobacter jejuni, samt hur olika desinfektionsmedel påverkar den

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

    Author : Moa Therése Viklund; [2022]
    Keywords : biofilm; destruktion av biofilm; Campylobacter jejuni; stafylokocker; MRSA; MRSP; desinfektion; rengöring; peroxymonosulfat buffrade syror; perättiksyra; väteperoxid; hypoklorsyra; etanol;

    Abstract : I denna studie ingick såväl produktion av biofilm i en statisk modell med mikrotiterplattor där biofilmen fick växa ostört i 5 dagar i inkubationsskåp i 30 °C, samt en mer dynamisk modell. I den dynamiska modellen ingick vattenledningsrör där buljong och bakterier växt i inkubationsskåp i 30 °C i 5 dagar för att sedan stå i rumstemperatur i ytterligare 5 dagar med daglig skakning i en timme, samt att buljong byttes ut vid dag 5 och nya bakterier tillsattes dag 7.

  5. 4. The importance of the two- and three component systems WalRK and VraTSR for antibiotic resistance and phage susceptibility in Staphylococcus aureus

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Jack Abrahamsson; [2022]
    Keywords : MRSA; Vancomycin; VISA; phage; bacteriophage; Staphylococcus aureus; antibiotic resistance; chemical engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus is a human commensal bacterium, living primarily on the skin and in the nose. It is also a pathogen able to cause a wide range of diseases, including food poisoning, infection of wounds but also more serious infections such as bacteremia and endocarditis. READ MORE

  6. 5. Livestock-MRSA in Danish Pig Farms

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Mona Tykesson Klubien; [2021]
    Keywords : GIS; epidemiology; MRSA; Denmark; pig production; logistic regression; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This study looks at factors contributing to LA-MRSA prevalence in Danish pig farms. LA-MRSA is a pathogenic bacteria that are resistant to methicillin (penicillin) and tetracycline antibiotics found in livestock such as pigs, poultry and cattle. READ MORE
