  1. 1. Understanding the effects of TCP-25 and EDTA interaction : A study of the biophysical aspects of a naturally derived peptide formulation with EDTA for topical application

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Ebba Kant; [2023]
    Keywords : chronic wounds; EDTA; biophysical aspects; formulation; pharmaceutical technology; Thrombin derived C-terminal peptide; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Chronic wounds are an emerging healthcare issue and current methods of healing chronic wounds address bacteria but are ineffective against resistant bacteria and the biofilm formation commonly observed in these wounds. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived from the endogenous wound healing system have been shown to combat bacterial infections, exhibit immunomodulatory effects, as well as improving wound healing.

  3. 2. Microbial biofilm monitoring by Electrochemical methods

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Vivek Srikumar; [2021]
    Keywords : Viscoelastic; Biofilm; Planktonic; Salmonella; Curli;

    Abstract : Hospital Acquired Infections and equipment contamination are some of the biggest issues faced by the healthcare industry worldwide. These infections generally range from mild to life threatening human infections which lead to increased costs and prolonged hospitalization time. READ MORE

  4. 3. Biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance in klebsiella pneumoniae: a meta-analysis study

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Afzal Mohammed; [2021]
    Keywords : Biofilm; Antibiotic Resistance; Antimicrobial Resistance; K. Pneumonia;

    Abstract : The study explored the prevalence of biofilm formers and its association with multidrug resistance in Klebsiella Pneumonia, a gram-negative bacterium that has high propensity to form antibiotic resistant strains and forms biofilms. Biofilms are complex microbial community with attributes that vary from planktonic cells. READ MORE

  5. 4. Selection for Antibiotic Resistance Below Minimal inhibitory concentration in Biofilm

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Elin Fermér; [2020]
    Keywords : antibiotic resistance; biofilm; antibiotics;

    Abstract : Antibiotics are today one of the most important cornerstones in modern healthcare when it comes to treating bacterial infections. It is an asset human kind have been leaning on for the last century, but excessive and widespread misuse of antibiotics have left deep scars in the form of multi resistant pathogenic strains of bacteria that we soon will not be able to treat.

  6. 5. Ti-Cu alloys for medical applications

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Andreas Eriksson; [2019]
    Keywords : Medical; Ti-Cu alloys; Ti-Cu legeringar; medicin; medicinteknik; materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Bacterial infections caused by the formation of a biofilm on the implant aftersurgery is a severe problem affecting the implants long term function and often leading to implant failure. Copper is a natural trace element found in the human body, and has recently become a possible alloying element with strongantibacterial properties. READ MORE
