  2. 1. Molecular detection and epidemiological studies of atypical bacteria causing respiratory tract infections

    Author : Karolina Gullsby; Kåre Bondeson; Björn Olsen; Puolakkainen Mirja; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chlamydia pneumoniae; Mycoplasma pneumoniae; Bordetella pertussis; real-time PCR; P1 typing; MLVA; whole-genome sequencing; macrolide resistance; molecular diagnostics; molecular epidemiology;

    Abstract : Respiratory infections are common causes of morbidity and mortality. Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Bordetella pertussis cause respiratory infection, often with similar symptoms. Molecular diagnostic methods are preferred since these bacteria are difficult to culture. READ MORE

  4. 2. Enteropathogenic Yersinia spp. and Salmonella spp. in Swedish wild boars : the presence and molecular epidemiology

    Author : Axel Sannö; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Wild boars are reported as carriers of several zoonotic agents. The aims of this thesis was to investigate the presence of the foodborne enteropathogens Salmonella spp., Yersinia (Y.) spp. READ MORE

  5. 3. Epidemiology of ESBL-producing E. coli with special reference to outbreak detection

    Author : Lisa Helldal; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; E. coli; epidemiology; surveillance;

    Abstract : Multidrug resistant bacteria, particularly extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE), are becoming a major health concern. ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-E. coli) is the most prevalent type. ESBL-genes are carried on plasmids, often by bacteria belonging to clones with properties that facilitate transmission.

  6. 4. PCR and sequencing based methods for detection and typing of pathogenic microorganisms

    Author : Tara Wahab; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The potential use of bacteria and viruses as biological terror weapons makes certain highly pathogenic microorganisms a worldwide public health threat. In an outbreak investigation involving a possible deliberate spread of a biological warfare agent there is a need for a fast and reliable diagnostic method. READ MORE

  7. 5. Molecular epidemiology of clinical Enterococcus faecium

    Author : Hanna Billström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Enterococci are today the third most commonly isolated species from bloodstream infections, and problems with ampicillin and vancomycin resistance are increasing. Some putative virulence factors such as the enterococcal surface protein (Esp) and hyaluronidase (Hyl) have been described in Enterococcus faecium. READ MORE
