  1. 6. Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing: Effects Of Variability In Technical Factors On Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Using Broth Microdilution

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

    Author : Seemal Aziz; [2021]
    Keywords : Antibiotic susceptibility settings; broth microdilution; antimicrobial resistance; minimum inhibitory concentration; MIC; AST; Sepsis;

    Abstract : Background Broth microdilution (BMD) is a gold-standard reference method to determine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics. For this, a standardized concentration of bacterial inoculum (2e5–8e5 colony-forming units, CFU/ml) is added to progressively higher concentrations of antibiotics. READ MORE

  3. 7. A molecular analysis of the interaction between the biocontrol fungus Clonostachys rosea and the cereal pathogen F. graminearum

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Esther Kuper; [2021]
    Keywords : Agrobacterium- mediated transformation; Biocontrol; Clonostachys rosea;

    Abstract : Modern agriculture is increasingly challenged by newly emerging crop diseases- many of them caused by fungal pathogens. At the same time, excessive application of chemical fungicides accelerates the development of resistant pathogen strains and may cause harmful effects on non-target organisms. READ MORE

  4. 8. Improving SARS-CoV-2 analyses from wastewater

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Israa Yahia Al Hag Ibrahim Dafalla; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) analyzes wastewater for the presence of biological and chemical substances to make public health conclusions. COVID-19 disease is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that infected individuals shed also in their feces, making WBE an alternative way to track SARS-CoV-2 in populations.

  5. 9. Development of a reporter gene assay on an automated platform

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi; Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

    Author : Fanny Redin; [2021]
    Keywords : Reporter gene assay; Automation; Svar Life Science; Immunogenicity; TNF-alpha; Applied biochemistry; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Biological drugs have the potential to trigger unwanted immunogenic responses in patients which might affect the efficacy and safety of the treatment. Evaluating the immunogenicity throughout the drug development process is therefore crucial. READ MORE

  6. 10. Comparison of Lectins and their suitability in Lectin Affinity Chromatography for isolation of Glycoproteins

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Pontus Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : biotechnology; lectins; chromatography; glycoproteins; lectin affinity chromatography; LAC; ConA; Concanavalin A; bioteknik; lektiner; kromatografi; affinitetskromatografi; glykoproteiner; ConA; Concanavalin A;

    Abstract : Virtually all extracellular proteins in humans are glycoproteins and likewise are many biopharmaceuticals. The glycosylation is directly correlated to biological function and stability of these proteins. The ability to isolate glycoproteins is thus of great importance in many applications. READ MORE
