  1. 1. 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. 2. Antibiotic resistance in Streptococcus agalactiae isolates from dairy camels in Kenya

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Emelie Lejon Flodin; [2021]
    Keywords : GBS; Camelus dromedarius; tetracycline resistance; mastitis; milk; pastoralist;

    Abstract : Camels (Camelus dromedarius) are the most valuable livestock species in the arid and semi-arid lands in the Horn of Africa where the majority of the human population adopts a pastoralist lifestyle with extensive animal husbandry. Camels provide an important food source, milk, which is considered to be the most important commodity, and a source of income for the pastoralists. READ MORE

  4. 3. Screening for double carbapenem therapies effective against multidrug resistant Enterobacteriaceae

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

    Author : Karin Vickberg; [2019]
    Keywords : Combination therapy; Carbapenem resistance; Carbapenemase; Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae CRE ; Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae; Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase KPC ; New Delhi metallo-b-lactamase NDM ; Oxacillinase OXA ; Ertapenem ETP ; Doripenem DOR ; Meropenem MEM ; Broth microdilution BMD ; Time-lapse microscopy oCelloScope ; Time-kill experiments; Synergy;

    Abstract : Multidrug resistant bacteria account for one of the biggest threats to human health in the future. One treatment option to be evaluated is antibiotic combination therapy. For this purpose, last- line carbapenems have been suggested, even when bacteria are resistant, e.g. READ MORE

  5. 4. Antimicrobial resistance in indicator Escherichia coli from small-scale swine herds in north-eastern Thailand

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : David Karlsson; [2016]
    Keywords : antimicrobial resistance; Thailand; Escherichia coli; swine; pig; indicator bacteria; minimum inhibitory concentration; extended spectrum beta-lactamase; multiresistance;

    Abstract : Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a fast growing problem throughout the world, and as a consequence effective treatment of various infections is jeopardized. This results in prolonged illness and increased mortality amongst patients as well as increased health care costs. READ MORE

  6. 5. Antimicrobial resistance in indicator Escherichia coli from medium-sized swine herds in North-eastern Thailand

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Matilda Halje; [2016]
    Keywords : antibiotic resistance; pigs; Thailand;

    Abstract : Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a fast growing global threat in several perspectives. In medicine the antimicrobials are crucial in the treatment of some diseases and without the antimicrobials those diseases might be fatal. READ MORE
