5. 4. Deciphering regulatory mechanism influencing qepA efflux pump expression in Escherichia coli

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

   Author : Jonas Gockel; [2020]
   Keywords : qepA; gene regulation; quinolone resistance; class 1 integron; lexA;

   Abstract : QepA is a plasmid-mediated efflux pump found in some strains of Escherichia coli, in which it significantly elevates the resistance against quinolones. The protein has similarities with 14-TMS major facilitator superfamily transporters and is situated in the inner membrane of the bacteria. READ MORE

6. 5. Broiler producers´ perspectives on bacterial resilience; evaluating a potential of hops

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Erik Gustafsson; [2019]
   Keywords : Sustainable development; hops; food system; ionophorous coccidiostats; bacterial resistance; broiler production;

   Abstract : An interview study was undertaken to explore Swedish broiler producers´ views for the potential of hops (H. lupulus L.) to reduce reliance on ionophorous coccidiostats in broiler production. The design was a mixed methodology between grounded theory and case study with a semi structured interview method. READ MORE
