  2. 21. Computational discovery of antibiotic resistance genes and their horizontal transfer

    Author : David Lund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phylogenetic analysis; Antibiotic resistance; horizontal gene transfer; computational screening;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is increasing among clinical infections and represents one of the most serious threats to public health. Pathogens often become resistant by acquiring mobile antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). READ MORE

  4. 22. Lactic acid bacterial symbionts from the honeybee: Characteristics and applications in wound management

    Author : Éile Butler; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; wound management; honey; extracellular proteins; bioactive substances; honeybee; Lactic acid bacteria;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is now a large threat with worldwide agreement that we will fall into a post-antibiotic era unless there is suitable treatment alternatives discovered. In recent years, chronic wounds have become a major burden on society and treatment is complicated. READ MORE

  5. 23. Antibiotic Resistance : Selection in the Presence of Metals and Antimicrobials

    Author : Lisa M. Albrecht; Dan I Andersson; Alex O'Neill; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibiotic resistance; Metals; Antimicrobials; Bacterial evolution; Bacterial genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot mikrobiologi; Biology with specialization in Microbiology;

    Abstract : The external environment is complex: Antibiotics, metals and antimicrobials do not exist in isolation but in mixtures. Human activities such as animal husbandry, fertilization of agricultural fields and human medicine release high amounts these compounds into the environment. READ MORE

  6. 24. A Unified Multitude : Experimental Studies of Bacterial Chromosome Organization

    Author : Eva Garmendia; Diarmaid Hughes; Linus Sandegren; John R. Roth; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bacterial evolution; chromosome organization and structure; chromosomal inversions; EF-Tu; horizontal gene transfer; Biologi med inriktning mot mikrobiologi; Biology with specialization in Microbiology;

    Abstract : Bacteria are many, old and varied; different bacterial species have been evolving for millions of years and show many disparate life-styles and types of metabolism. Nevertheless, some of the characteristics regarding how bacteria organize their chromosomes are relatively conserved, suggesting that they might be both ancient and important, and that selective pressures inhibit their modification.

  7. 25. Evolution of New Genes and Functions

    Author : Erik Lundin; Dan I Andersson; Joakim Näsvall; Diarmaid Hughes; Arjan de Visser; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biologi med inriktning mot mikrobiologi; Biology with specialization in Microbiology;

    Abstract : To answer major evolutionary questions, we need a better understanding of the effects of mutations on specific functions and organism fitness. The aim of this thesis was to elucidate how new functions evolve and potential trade-offs with the original function. READ MORE
