  1. 1. Evaluation of The Viral Reduction Potential using Ultrafiltration Membranes in the Drinking Water Treatment Process at Norrvatten

    University essay from KTH/Industriell bioteknologi

    Author : Emma Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Microbiological barrier; Ultrafiltration; NanoCeram filter; Drinking Water; Raw Water; Mikrobiologisk barriär; Ultrafiltering; NanoCeram filter; Dricksvatten; Råvatten;

    Abstract : En pilotanläggning för ultrafiltering testas nu i Norrvattens reningsprocess för att undersöka ifall den kan användas som en tredje mikrobiologisk barriär i reningsprocessen. Målet med detta projekt är att testa membranets kapacitet att filtrera bort viruspartiklar men även membranet generella reduktionsförmåga för andra mikrobiologiska och kemiska kontamineringar.

  3. 2. The importance of the two- and three component systems WalRK and VraTSR for antibiotic resistance and phage susceptibility in Staphylococcus aureus

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Jack Abrahamsson; [2022]
    Keywords : MRSA; Vancomycin; VISA; phage; bacteriophage; Staphylococcus aureus; antibiotic resistance; chemical engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus is a human commensal bacterium, living primarily on the skin and in the nose. It is also a pathogen able to cause a wide range of diseases, including food poisoning, infection of wounds but also more serious infections such as bacteremia and endocarditis. READ MORE

  4. 3. Selection of a calcium-dependent IgG1-binding protein domain

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Sanne Rönning; [2020]
    Keywords : protein science; phage display; selection; Protein A; chromatography; calcium dependence; characterization; proteinteknik; fagdisplay; selektion; Protein A; kromatografi; calciumberoende; karakterisering;

    Abstract : Standard purification processes in large scale antibody production are largely dependent on Protein A chromatography. Protein A binds specifically to many subclasses of IgG with high affinity. However, in order to elute the proteins, the pH needs to be lowered. READ MORE

  5. 4. Analyses of circular DNA molecules in the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus for identification of viruses and plasmids

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Jeremiah Sigalla; [2019]
    Keywords : blue dwarf disease; leafhopper; phylogenetic analysis; psammotettix alienus; rolling circle amplification; wheat blue dwarf phytoplasma; wheat dwarf disease; wheat dwarf virus;

    Abstract : Microorganisms often depend on vectors for transmission. A single vector may carry different species of microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria and viruses. In Sweden, leafhoppers of the species Psammotettix alienus are known as a vector of wheat dwarf virus, but they may be carriers of other microorganisms as well. READ MORE

  6. 5. Phage therapy against Staphylococcus aureus

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Maria Birgitta Borgström; [2018]
    Keywords : fag; terapi; behandling; Staphylococcus aureus; bakteriofag; S. aureus;

    Abstract : Det söks efter alternativ till antibiotika eftersom dess användbarhet mot resistenta bakterier är begränsad och användningen kan ge negativa biverkningar. Ett alternativ som utforskas är användning av fager. Fagterapi har varit känd i över hundra år och används även i några länder. READ MORE
