  1. 1. Friends with benefits? - Does gut microbiota of Spodoptera littoralis affect insecticide resistance and are there any costs of insecticide resistance development?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Sarah Heithausen; [2021]
    Keywords : insecticide resistance development; gut microbiota; gut symbiont-mediated resistance; trade-off effects; fitness costs; symbiosis; survival; life-history traits; fecundity;

    Abstract : The insect gut microbiota has many important functions for insects such as detoxification of host plant toxins. Recently there has been a growing interest on the effect of insect gut microbiota on insecticide resistance development. Insecticide resistance is a growing concern for food security and sustainable agriculture. READ MORE

  3. 2. Selection for Antibiotic Resistance Below Minimal inhibitory concentration in Biofilm

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Elin Fermér; [2020]
    Keywords : antibiotic resistance; biofilm; antibiotics;

    Abstract : Antibiotics are today one of the most important cornerstones in modern healthcare when it comes to treating bacterial infections. It is an asset human kind have been leaning on for the last century, but excessive and widespread misuse of antibiotics have left deep scars in the form of multi resistant pathogenic strains of bacteria that we soon will not be able to treat.

  4. 3. Growth Dynamics, Antibiotic Susceptibility and the Effect of Sublethal Ciprofloxacin Concentrations in Susceptible and Resistant Escherichia coli in Biofilm

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Jenny Fernberg; [2019]
    Keywords : Biofilm; Escherichia coli; CFT073; BPC; MBIC; MSC; Ciprofloxacin; Streptomycin; Rifampicin; Antibiotic resistance; Urinary Tract Infections; Growth dynamics; Antibiotic susceptibility; S83F; K42N; S531L; Sub-MIC;

    Abstract : Instead of planktonic growth in nature, many species of bacteria form biofilm to survive in harsh conditions. Although many chronic bacterial infections are caused by bacterial species in a biofilm lifestyle, previous research has focused on studying antibiotic resistance in planktonic growth. Here we used a modified MBEC assay, i.e. READ MORE

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

    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

  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
