  2. 41. Responsible antibiotic use and diagnostic challenges in infectious diseases : studies in a resource-limited setting and a high-income setting

    Author : Anna Damlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Antibiotic resistance is a globally emerging health challenge. In resource-limited settings, the burdens of infectious diseases and of antibiotic resistance are the highest. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; optical DNA mapping; DNA damage; DNA; single-molecule analysis; fluorescence microscopy; antibiotic resistance; nanofluidics; genetics;

    Abstract : The DNA molecule, the blueprint of life, contains an enormous amount of information. The information is coded by the combination of four bases; adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine, that, together with the sugar-phosphate backbones, make up the DNA double helix. READ MORE

  7. 45. Mechanisms and Dynamics of Carbapenem Resistance in Escherichia coli

    Author : Marlen Adler; Linus Sandegren; Josep Casadesús; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; carbapenem; antibiotic resistance; fitness cost; ESBLs; penicillin-binding proteins; gene amplification;

    Abstract : The emergence of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae worldwide has led to an increased use of carbapenems and may drive the development of carbapenem resistance. Existing mechanisms are mainly due to acquired carbapenemases or the combination of ESBL-production and reduced outer membrane permeability. READ MORE
