21. Antibiotic resistance in biogas processes
Abstract : Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a well-established technology that can play a key role in development of a sustainable society. In AD, organic wastes such as animal manure, food waste and crop residues are used as substrate and converted to biogas and digestate, which represent green energy and a biofertiliser. READ MORE

22. Multi-Resistance Plasmids : Fitness Costs, Dynamics and Evolution
Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is an escalating problem, not only due to less desirable treatment options and outcome, but also due to the economic burden to health care caused by resistant pathogens. Since the process of developing new antibiotics is slow, we need to carefully consider the usage of the antibiotics still available. READ MORE

23. Computational discovery of antibiotic resistance genes and their horizontal transfer
Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is increasing among clinical infections and represents one of the most serious threats to public health. Pathogens often become resistant by acquiring mobile antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). READ MORE

24. Structural and Biochemical Studies of Antibiotic Resistance and Ribosomal Frameshifting
Abstract : Protein synthesis, translation, performed by the ribosome, is a fundamental process of life and one of the main targets of antibacterial drugs. This thesis provides structural and biochemical understanding of three aspects of bacterial translation.Elongation factor G (EF-G) is the target for the antibiotic fusidic acid (FA). READ MORE

25. Bacterial Resistance to Antimicrobial Peptides : Rates, Mechanisms and Fitness Effects
Abstract : The rapid emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics has necessitated the development of alternative treatment strategies. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important immune system components that kill microbes rapidly and have broad activity-spectra, making them promising leads for new pharmaceuticals. READ MORE
