  1. 1. Measuring bacterial metabolism and antibioticsusceptibility : using silicon nanowire field-effect transistor.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fasta tillståndets elektronik

    Author : George Alhoush; [2024]
    Keywords : Silicon nanowire field effective transistor; SiNWFET; Ion-selective filed effect transistor; ISFET; Antibiotic susceptibility test; AST; Measuring bacterial metabolism using microchip;

    Abstract : Antimicrobial resistance is considered by many prominent researcher and scientist as a profound global health crisis that us humans must face in the next decade. It is threatening the effectiveness of these once-reliable weapons against bacterial infections and leaving us susceptible to pathogenic agents. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of manual and robotic techniques for Micro-RNA extraction in early sepsis diagnosis

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Tjorven Plontke; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by the spread of infectious diseases throughout the body, resulting in a dysfunctional immune system response. It includes a wide range of symptomsa ffecting multiple organs, making accurate diagnosis challenging. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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.

  5. 4. Characterization of Antigenic Properties of Two Immunogenic Proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae 

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

    Author : Mawj Jasimalsalih; [2023]
    Keywords : Immunogenic Proteins; PrsA; MalX; Membrane Vesicles; Protein Properties; Streptococcus pneumoniae virulence factors;

    Abstract : The bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus), is considered to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, particularly in infants and the elderly. It is one of the most frequent causes of respiratory tract infections, which sporadically have the potential to develop into serious invasive symptoms including sepsis and meningitis. READ MORE

  6. 5. Avelsarbetets roll i kampen mot antibiotikaresistenta bakterier : hur kan avel och genredigering reducera behovet av antibiotikatill produktionsdjur?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Ebba Gustafsson; [2023]
    Keywords : antibiotikaresistens; avel; husdjur; selektion; bakteriell infektion; infektionsresistens; infektionstolerans; genredigering; genetisk markör; genom; CRISPR;

    Abstract : Antibiotikaresistenta bakterier utgör ett globalt hot för både sjukvård och livsmedelsproduktion då de begränsar möjligheten att behandla bakterieinfektioner hos både människor och djur. Förekomsten av resistenta bakterier växer globalt till följd av överflödig och felaktig användning av antibiotikapreparat. READ MORE
