  1. 1. Bloodstream infections with ESBL-producing Enterobacterales : prediction, rapid diagnosis and molecular epidemiology

    Author : Inga Fröding; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are a threat to public health worldwide. Particularly, the increase of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales (EPE) is a significant clinical problem. ESBLs confer resistance to cephalosporins and carbapenemases confer resistance to carbapenems. READ MORE

  2. 2. Carbapenem resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    Author : Christian Giske; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Carbapenem (imipenem and meropenem) resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is increasing, with global resistance rates approaching 20%. The most common resistance mechanisms are down-regulation of the porin OprD, and increased activity of multi-drug efflux pumps, primarily MexAB-OprM. READ MORE

  3. 3. Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli : multidrug-resistance and different aspects of invasive infections

    Author : Malin Vading; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli are pathogens belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. They can cause infections ranging from uncomplicated urinary tract infection to severe bloodstream infection (BSI). READ MORE

  4. 4. Extremely drug resistant E. coli and K. pneumoniae : novel approaches against their spread and related infections

    Author : Angela Camporeale; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance in Enterobacteriaceae is a well-established hindrance and the spread of pathogenic high-risk clones harboring extended-spectrum -lactamases (ESBLs) and carbapenemases is posing a global health challenge, due to very less treatment alternatives. Particular lineages from the major representative species E. coli and K. READ MORE
