    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Thomas Söderhäll; [2021]
    Keywords : Klebsiella pneumoniae; carbapenem resistance; carbapenemase; combination therapy; meropenem; colistin; avibactam; constucts; porins;

    Abstract : The treatment options for multidrug resistant bacteria are dwindling and it is an important issue of research in medicine to solve. One of the more problematic bacterial species is Klebsiella pneumoniae, it can cause infections with high morbidity that are difficult to treat. READ MORE

  3. 2. Development of a bacterial infection model in zebrafish embryos with special focus on colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae

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

    Author : Anna Tamara Leber; [2019]
    Keywords : Danio rerio; embryo model; microinjection; innate immunity; inflammation; Klebsiella pneumoniae; colistin-resistance; antimicrobial peptides; cross-resistance;

    Abstract : Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a promising model organism for immunological studies. A time window between the development of the innate and adaptive immune system makes it possible to investigate the mechanisms originating exclusively from the innate immune system. READ MORE

  4. 3. Antimicrobial resistance in E. coli from Swedish calves and the surrounding environment

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

    Author : Viktoria Tepper; [2018]
    Keywords : Antimicrobial resistance; E.coli; dairy farms; transmission routes; ESBL; Colistin-resistance;

    Abstract : The discovery of the first antibiotic by Alexander Fleming was a major milestone in the history of modern medicine. However, with each new antibiotic class introduced to the market, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) rapidly occurred. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. PKPD models for colistin and meropenem on a wild-type and a resistant strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    University essay from Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Jonathan Lyly; [2011]
    Keywords : meropenem; colistin; pseudomonas aeruginosa; models; pharmacometric models; pharmacokinetic models; PKPD;

    Abstract : Resistant bacteria are becoming more and more of a problem but treatment with antibiotics in combination may overcome and prevent resistance development. The combination of meropenem and colistin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been proposed as a promising treatment to increase the bactericidal effect and a synergistic effect has been proposed.
