2. 1. Carbapenem resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

   Author : Christian Giske; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Carbapenem (imipenem and meropenem) resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is increasing, with global resistance rates approaching 20%. The most common resistance mechanisms are down-regulation of the porin OprD, and increased activity of multi-drug efflux pumps, primarily MexAB-OprM. 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. Molecular mechanisms of fluoroquinolone resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

   Author : Shah Jalal; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : quinolone resistance; P. aeruginosa; PCR; DNA sequencing; mutation; NIRCA; RESA; multidrug efflux; cystic fibrosis;

   Abstract : Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen. In compromised human, it can cause infections in urinary tract, wound and respiratory tract such as pneumonia and progressive lung diseases. READ MORE

6. 4. Quinolone resistance in Bacteroides fragilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, two opportunistic pathogens

   Author : Herin Oh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Quinolone; resistance; B. fragilis; P. aeruginosa; topoisomerase; efflux;

   Abstract : Opportunistic pathogens can cause infections in case of structural or functional defects in the host. Examples of Gram-negative opportunists are the Bacteroides fragilis group, anaerobic, non-spore forming rods and the aerobic, non-fermentative rod Pseudomonas aeruginosa. READ MORE

7. 5. Chromosomal antibiotic resistance mechanisms in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Neisseria gonorrhoeae

   Author : Sohidul Islam; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The progressive increase in fluoroquinolone resistant N. gonorrhoeae and emergence of multiple antibiotic resistant P. aeruginosa are growing concerns among physicians and health policy makers. In N. READ MORE
