  2. 1. MRSA and other resistant bacteria : prevalence, patient and staff experiences, wounds and infection control

    Author : Helene Andersson; Bjöörn Fossum; Christina Lindholm; Mats Kalin; Eva Johansson; Sophiahemmet Högskola; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MRSA; VRE; ESBL; Colonization; Infection control; Wound; Patient experiences; Staff experiences; Nursing care; Qualitative interview; Qualitative content analysis; MRSA;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance has become a major and serious global problem in healthcare. Limited treatment options for infections caused by these organisms can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. READ MORE

  4. 2. The aquatic microbial food web and occurence of predation-resistant and potentially pathogenic bacteria, such as Francisella tularensis

    Author : Johanna Thelaus; Agneta Andersson; Mats Forsman; Farooq Azam; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bacteria; protozoa; ecology; predation; nutrient-availability; microbial food web; model; predation-resistance; Francisella; reservoir; biofilm formation; Freshwater ecology; Limnisk ekologi;

    Abstract : All natural aquatic systems harbour a vast variety of microorganisms. In the aquatic microbial food web, the larger microorganisms (i.e. protozoa) feed on the smaller microorganisms (i. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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; []

    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

  6. 4. Environmental factors selecting for predation resistant and potentially pathogenic bacteria in aquatic environments

    Author : Peter Mathisen; Agneta Andersson; Johanna Thelaus; Mats Forsman; Anders Sjöstedt; Tron Frede Thingstad; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Eutrophication; productivity; predation pressure; predation-resistant bacteria; pathogens; Francisella tularensis; adaptation; biomarker; oligotyping;

    Abstract : The long history of co-existence of bacteria and their protozoan predators in aquatic environments has led to evolution of protozoa resistant bacteria (PRB). Many of these bacteria are also pathogenic to humans. READ MORE

  7. 5. Dissemination of Multiresistant Bacteria : Their Selection, Transmission, Virulence and Resistance

    Author : Gustaf Starlander; Åsa Melhus; Jørgen Vildershøj Bjørnholt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk bakteriologi; Clinical Bacteriology;

    Abstract : Multiresistant bacteria are an emerging threat in modern medicine. Consumption of antimicrobial agents among humans, animals and in agriculture causes a selection of resistance genes. READ MORE
