2. 1. Clinical Impact of Bloodstream Infections – Characterization, Risk factors and Outcome

   Author : Martin Holmbom; Håkan Hanberger; Christian G. Giske; Lennart E Nilsson; Mats Fredrikson; Åse Östholm Balkhed; Ralph Peeker; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bloodstream infection BSI ; Antimicrobial resistance AMR ; Extended spectrum β-lactamase ESBL ; ESBL-producing Enterobacterales; Multidrug-resistant; Urinary tract infection; Sepsis; Epidemiology; Prehospital delay; Community-acquired BSI; Hospital-acquired BSI; Community-onset BSI;

   Abstract : Bloodstream infection (blood poisoning) and antibiotic resistance are increasing worldwide, and already cause the loss of millions of human lives each year. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), bloodstream infections (BSIs) represent 20% of global mortality on a par with cardiac infarct, stroke, and major trauma. READ MORE

4. 2. Lipid-based liquid crystals as drug delivery vehicles for antimicrobial peptides

   Author : Lukas Boge; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hexosome; antimicrobial peptide; cubosome; proteolysis; AMP; liquid crystalline nanoparticles; glycerol monooleate; Liquid crystals;

   Abstract : The development of antimicrobial resistance is a great challenge within the health sector around the world. The demand for new efficient treatments is alarming in order to treat various bacterial infections in the near future. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a group of novel antibiotics that have gain more and more attraction the past decade. READ MORE

5. 3. Structural and Functional Studies of Membrane Proteins For Future Development of Antimicrobial Drugs

   Author : Elin Dunevall; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sialic acid transporters; SiaT; MraY; Tunicamycin; Antibiotic resistance;

   Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is a world-wide occurring problem which threatens human health. Without development of any new and effective antibiotics, the rapid growth of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections could put society in a situation resembling the pre-antibiotic era when a simple lung infection could kill a human being.

6. 4. Microbial Responses to Antibiotics – Stability of Resistance and Extended Potential of Targeting the Folate Synthesis

   Author : Maria Jönsson; Göte Swedberg; Steven Meshnick; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; sulfonamide resistance; macrolide; commensal flora; substrate channeling; folate synthesis; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

   Abstract : Resistance to antimicrobials is an increasing problem in the world of today, and develops faster than man can counter. It is therefore of importance to study metabolic pathways in order to develop new antibiotics, but also to understand how resistance spreads and stabilizes in microbial populations. READ MORE

7. 5. Plant pathogen defense: Signalling, resistance and cell death

   Author : Oskar N. Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pseudomonas; cell death; pathogens; plant defense; hypersensitive response; glycolipid; reactive oxygen species; blumeria graminis; erysiphe pisi;

   Abstract : Pathogenic microorganisms are present everywhere in nature and infect both animals and plants. Phytopathogenic microorganisms cause diseases on plants, and are responsible for crop loss amounting in the order billions of dollars annually. READ MORE
