  2. 1. Antibiotic resistance in the pan-genome of E. coli

    Author : Jennifer Jagdmann; Hervé Nicoloff; Dan I. Andersson; Alex O´Neill; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibiotic resistance; pan-genome; genetic diversity; plasmids; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : The pan-genome of a species is made up of all gene families that can be included in any individual isolate of the species. Escherichia coli (E. coli) has an open pan-genome including at least 128000 gene families, while only about half of the genes found in each individual isolate are common to all isolates. READ MORE

  4. 2. Aspects of Bacterial Resistance to Silver

    Author : Susanne Sütterlin; Åsa Melhus; Björn Olsen; Roland Möllby; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antimicrobial resistance; Silver resistance; Clinical Bacteriology; Klinisk bakteriologi;

    Abstract : Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has increased rapidly within recent years, and it has become a serious threat to public health. Infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria entail higher morbidity, mortality, and a burden to health care systems. READ MORE

  5. 3. On high temperature oxidation resistance : Towards the materials genome of high temperature alloys

    Author : Samuel Hallström; John Ågren; Roger Reed; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : The efficiency of a heat engine increases with increasing service temperature. This leads to a demand for material that can withstand aggressive environments and sometimes also high load at higher and higher temperature. That is the rationale for the work of this thesis. READ MORE

  6. 4. Dynamics and Mechanisms of Adaptive Evolution in Bacteria

    Author : Song Sun; Dan Andersson; Diarmaid Hughes; Josep Casadesús; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; adaptive evolution; mutation; genome rearrangements; antibiotic resistance; gene amplification; genome reduction; directed evolution; Biologi med inriktning mot mikrobiologi; Biology with specialization in Microbiology;

    Abstract : Determining the properties of mutations is fundamental to understanding the mechanisms of adaptive evolution. The major goal of this thesis is to investigate the mechanisms of bacterial adaptation to new environments using experimental evolution. READ MORE

  7. 5. Hidden patterns that matter : statistical methods for analysis of DNA and RNA data

    Author : Therese Kellgren; Patrik Rydén; Sara Sjöstedt de Luna; Rebecka Jörnsten; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genome; Next-generation sequence; statistics; microarrays; bacteria; antibiotic resistance; inherited diseases; Co-expression networks; centralization within subgroups;

    Abstract : Understanding how the genetic variations can affect characteristics and function of organisms can help researchers and medical doctors to detect genetic alterations that cause disease and reveal genes that causes antibiotic resistance. The opportunities and progress associated with such data come however with challenges related to statistical analysis. READ MORE
