  2. 1. Pathogenesis and Diagnosis of Food Hypersensitivity in Adults

    Author : Jenny Magnusson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Birch pollen allergy; DBPCFC; Diagnosis; Duodenal mucosa; Eosinophils; Faecal samples; Food induced gastrointestinal hypersensitivity; IgE; Neutrophil MPO; T lymphocytes;

    Abstract : Objective tools to diagnose local gastrointestinal (GI) inflammatory reactions in patients with food hypersensitivity are lacking. To fully appreciate the mechanisms mediating allergy-like reactions in the GI tract and for improvement of diagnostic techniques more knowledge is required. READ MORE

  4. 2. PCR-based detection of microorganisms in complex biological samples

    Author : Pär-G Lantz; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Density gradient centrifugation; DNA extraction; Aqueous two-phase systems; Meat; Faeces; Cheese; Yeast; Helicobacter pylori; Yersinia enterocolitica; Listeria monocytogenes; PCR; Inhibition; Sample preparation; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : The detection of microorganisms by PCR can be divided into four steps: (1) sample collection, (2) sample preparation, (3) DNA amplification and (4) detection of PCR products. The major problem in developing PCR-based detection methods is the sample preparation step. READ MORE

  5. 3. Population size and genetic diversity of Nigerian lions (Panthera leo)

    Author : Talatu Tende; MEMEG; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; non-invasive sampling; faecal DNA; protected area; isolated population; Panthera leo;

    Abstract : High growth rate in human populations, agricultural developments and industrialization have impinged negatively on the natural habitats of most large carnivores, causing fragmentation, isolation and consequently reduction in population size. Lions (Panthera leo) that once roamed most parts of Southern Europe, Asia, the Middle East, North America, northern part of South America and most parts of Africa are today found only in parts of sub-Saharan Africa and at a single site in India.

  6. 4. Evaluation of microbial health risks associated with the reuse of source-separated humna urine

    Author : Caroline Höglund; KTH; []
    Keywords : urine-separation; urine; wastewater systems; wastewater reuse; recycling; enteric pathogens; faecal sterols; indicator bacteria; hygiene risks; microbial persistence; microbial risk assessment; QMRA; fertiliser; crop;

    Abstract : Human excreta contain plant nutrients and have the potentialto be used as a fertiliser in agriculture. Urine contributesthe major proportion of the nutrients (N, P and K) in domesticwastewater whereas faeces contribute a smaller amount andinvolves greater health risks if reused due to the possiblepresence of enteric pathogens.

  7. 5. 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.
