    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Annual child mortality has declined in the world from 12.5 million in 1990 to 8.8 million in 2008. Yet, infectious diseases are still the major cause of death in this group (6. READ MORE

  4. 7. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae : aspects on detection, epidemiology and multi-drug resistance

    Author : Maria Tärnberg; Lennart Nilsson; Hans-Jürg Monstein; Håkan Hanberger; Kristian Riesbeck; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Beta-lactam antibiotics are the largest and most commonly used group of antimicrobial agents in Sweden as well as world-wide. They show very good tolerability and many of the drugs can be administrated orally. READ MORE

  5. 8. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing enterobacteriaceae : epidemiology and dynamics of fecal carriage

    Author : Emilia Titelman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE) has become a major cause of community acquired urinary tract infection (UTI), and fecal carriage of EPE is emerging worldwide. The aims of this thesis were to study the molecular epidemiology of ESBL-enzymes in Stockholm (I) to evaluate treatment alternatives to the carbapenems for EPE (I-III), and to study the duration of fecal carriage and identify factors associated with prolonged carriage (IV).
