  2. 1. Towards time-resolved molecular interaction assays in living bacteria

    Author : João Crispim Encarnação; Karl Andersson; Marika Nestor; U. Helena Danielson; Hélène Munier-Lehmann; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Intracellular Molecular Interactions; Real-Time Cell Binding Assays; Bacteria; LigandTracer; Kinetics; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biofarmaci; Biopharmaceutics; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Rare and neglected diseases such as multidrug resistant (MDR) tuberculosis, malaria and trypanosomiasis are re-emerging in Europe. New strategies are needed to accelerate drug discovery to fight these pathogens. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular Epidemiology and Mechanisms of Antibiotic Resistance in Clinical Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from Qatar

    Author : Mazen Sid Ahmed; Jana Jass; Emad Ibrahim; Ali Sultan; Bo Söderquist; Christian Giske; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibiotics; C T; CZA; MDR; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; ST235; VEB; VIM;

    Abstract : Inappropriate and excessive use of antibiotics promotes antimicrobial resistance (AMR), particularly in Gram-negative bacteria (GNB). There is a noticeable increase in nosocomial infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and an increase in cost management.

  5. 3. Interactions between innate immune effectors and multidrug resistant bacteria

    Author : Harpa Káradóttir; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is an increasingly difficult problem in the clinic, where conventional antibiotics are failing, and new alternative solutions are in high demand. Infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria with multi drug resistance (MDR) mechanisms are increasing globally, and treatment options are limited. READ MORE

  6. 4. Gene expression and antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli from Swedish inland waters

    Author : Sirirat Poonlapthawee; Jana Jass; Per-Erik Olsson; Allan Sirsjö; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Extensive use of antibiotics both from human-medicine and veterinary sources are believed to provide selective pressure on bacteria that leads to an increase in antibiotic resistance in environmental waters. Contamination of antibiotic resistant microbes will raise human health risks. READ MORE

  7. 5. Antibacterial materials for wound care applications utilizing antimicrobial peptides

    Author : Edvin Blomstrand; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; self-assembly; lyotropic liquid crystals; antibacterial surface; Antimicrobial peptides; Pluronic F-127; hydrogels;

    Abstract : The spread of antibiotic resistance among bacteria has shown that the development of alternative treatments of infections is of vital importance. This thesis has looked at one potential candidate, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), as an alternative or compliment to traditional antibiotics. READ MORE
