  1. 1. Pseudomonas aeruginosa gene expression analysis using pangenome and PAO1 reference genomes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Yi Su; [2023]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Development in sequencing technologies has made the analyses of genetic material much more accessible. Processing sequenced data for an accurate analysis comes with its challenges, especially with the studies in microbial in clinical in vivo samples where difficulties in the collection of these samples for sequencing could lower the quality and contamination from the human host which might affect the accuracy of downstream analysis.

  5. 4. Construction and Evaluation of a Cre-lox-Based Fluorescent Conjugation Tracking System

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

    Author : Carl Brännström; [2022]
    Keywords : Antibiotic resistance; horizontal gene transfer; plasmids; conjugation; conjugational frequency; Cre loxP system;

    Abstract : Plasmids are small, circular, extrachromosomal double-stranded genetic elements present in bacteria. Plasmids can replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome and play an important role as a transmitter of antibiotic resistance genes between bacteria. READ MORE

  6. 5. Epidemiology, Risk Factors, Hidden Gut Resistome and Characterization of Multidrug-Resistant Enterobacterales Colonizing the Intestinal Tract of Swiss Expatriates

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

    Author : Pablo Porragas Paseiro; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A study following long-term residents from countries with low prevalence of multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales residing in countries with high prevalence has never been done before at this scale. In this ongoing work, we analyzed the epidemiology and risk factors for colonization with multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales in 57 Swiss embassy employees and expatriates stationed worldwide by administering a questionnaire to establish facets of participants' diet, lifestyle, and medical history.
