  2. 31. The Physiological Cost of Antibiotic Resistance

    Author : Mirjana Macvanin; Diarmaid Hughes; Stanley Maloy; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; fusidic acid; fitness cost; protein synthesis; EF-G; ppGpp; RpoS; oxidative stress; heme; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology; immunology; infectious diseases; Mikrobiologi; immunologi; infektionssjukdomar;

    Abstract : Becoming antibiotic resistant is often associated with fitness costs for the resistant bacteria. This is seen as a loss of competitiveness against the antibiotic-sensitive wild-type in an antibiotic-free environment. READ MORE

  4. 32. Urinary tract infections in pregnancy : studies in vivo and in vitro

    Author : Musa Sekikubo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) in pregnant women is increased and predisposes them to acute pyelonephritis together with poor pregnancy outcomes. Increased frequency of micturition, nocturia and lower abdominal discomfort are common non-specific complaints during pregnancy, which render clinical diagnosis of UTI inaccurate. READ MORE

  5. 33. Targeting nucleic acids in bacteria with synthetic ligands

    Author : Abbas Nikravesh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There is a need for new antibacterial agents, and one attractive strategy is to develop nucleic acid ligands that inhibit pathogen genes selectively. Also, such ligands can be used as molecular biology probes to study gene function and nucleic acid structures. READ MORE

  6. 34. Extended-Spectrum ß-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae : Antibiotic consumption, Detection and Resistance Epidemiology

    Author : Åse Östholm Balkhed; Lennart Nilsson; Håkan Hanberger; Hans-Jurg Monstein; Anita Hällgren; Mats Kalin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Extended-Spectrum ß-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae; Antibiotic consumption; Detection Methods; Multiplex PCR; Resistance Epidemiology; Multi-resistance; E. coli; ESBL; fecal carriage; faecal carriage; travel;

    Abstract : ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae are emerging worldwide and they are frequently multi-drug resistant, thus limiting treatment options for infections caused by these pathogens.The overall aim of the thesis was to investigate ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in a Swedish county.

  7. 35. Clinical, microbiological and immunological effects of antiseptics in periodontal treatment

    Author : Anton Vitt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : periodontal disease;

    Abstract : Periodontal diseases are characterized by high prevalence in many populations and the chronic and progressive course of the disease. A fundamental stage of treatment is mechanical debridement of the tooth surface. During debridement antimicrobial agents may be applied as adjunctive intrasulcular irrigants. READ MORE
