  1. 1. 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

    Abstract : With the emergence of industrialisation, the work-life balance has become a point of discussion in many industries, among which the aviation industry. Distortions in the work-life balance became especially apparent when 24/7 economies evolved, and industries made a transition to facilitate and serve these economies. READ MORE

  4. 3. Screening for double carbapenem therapies effective against multidrug resistant Enterobacteriaceae

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

    Author : Karin Vickberg; [2019]
    Keywords : Combination therapy; Carbapenem resistance; Carbapenemase; Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae CRE ; Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae; Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase KPC ; New Delhi metallo-b-lactamase NDM ; Oxacillinase OXA ; Ertapenem ETP ; Doripenem DOR ; Meropenem MEM ; Broth microdilution BMD ; Time-lapse microscopy oCelloScope ; Time-kill experiments; Synergy;

    Abstract : 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

  5. 4. Evaluation of the molecular epidemiology of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli associated with blood stream infections in China

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

    Author : Olsson Anna; [2017]
    Keywords : Antibiotic resistance ESBL-producing E. coli Sepsis Multi Locus Sequence Typing MLST ;

    Abstract : The increasing number of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) associated with sepsis in China is the reason for designing the current study. During 2014-2016, thirty hospitals representing 10 different provinces in China was involved in collecting E. coli isolates causing blood stream infections. READ MORE

  6. 5. Visualising uncertainty in aircraft cockpits : Is icon degradation an appropriate visualisation form

    University essay from Institutionen för kommunikation och information

    Author : Ari Kolbeinsson; [2013]
    Keywords : Uncertainty visualisation; Naturalistic decision-making; NDM; Aviation; Aircraft cockpit; Decision support; Situation assessment; Threat assessment.;

    Abstract : Visualising uncertainty information has been a research area for the past decade or so, and this thesis contains the results of an experiment that examines whether prior research on icon degradation for showing uncertainty can be used in a simulated aircraft cockpit environment. Using icon degradation has been suggested as being effective to combat overconfidence bias, as well as to accurately convey information about uncertainty. READ MORE
