1. 6. Algorithms for antibiotic susceptibility testing for pathogens causing sepsis

   University essay from

   Author : Stina Åhag; [2017]
   Keywords : Sepsis; Antibiotic resistance; Antibiotic susceptibility testing; Minimal inhibitory concentration;

   Abstract : This study is a part of a project at Q-linea that aims to present a rapid diagnostic instrument to speed up the process of identification of pathogens and determination of MIC-values (Minimal Inhibitory Concentration) of antibiotic needed to treat patients with sepsis. Specifically, this report is aimed to describe the development and implementation of algorithms that examine susceptibility profiles ofsepsis related pathogens where the bacteria have been exposed to different antibiotics and by different lapse of concentrations.

3. 7. Development of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for diagnosis of Fasciola hepatica in animal faeces and comparison with traditional diagnostic methods

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

   Author : Maria Immaculata Arifin; [2016]
   Keywords : Fasciola hepatica; faeces; sheep; cattle; diagnosis; loop-mediated isothermal amplification; PCR; serology; coprology;

   Abstract : The liver fluke Fasciola hepatica is a parasitic trematode prevalent in mammals, primarily in sheep and cattle. There is a wide range of methods for diagnosis of F. hepatica infections, such as coproscopy, coproantigen ELISA, serum ELISA, PCR and Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). READ MORE
