  2. 16. New antibiotic resistance genes and their diversity

    Author : Fanny Berglund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metagenomics; β-lactamases; hidden Markov model; antibiotic resistance; carbapenemases; big data; tetracycline resistance;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is increasing worldwide and is considered a severe threat to public health. Often, antibiotic resistance is caused by antibiotic resistance genes, of which many are hypothesized to have been transferred into human pathogens from environmental bacteria. READ MORE

  4. 17. Antibiotic therapy as single treatment of acute appendicitis

    Author : Jeanette Hansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; appendicitis; antibiotic therapy; appendectomy; procalcitonin;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Appendectomy has been the established treatment of acute appendicitis during the last century, regarded as a simple and safe procedure, although hampered with postoperative complications and increased standard mortality. Modern research has indicated that selected patients with acute appendicitis can be treated by antibiotic therapy alone. READ MORE

  5. 18. From Penicillin Binding Proteins to Community Interventions : Mathematical and Statistical Models Related to Antibiotic Resistance

    Author : Patricia Geli Rolfhamre; Åke Svensson; Mikael Andersson; Dan I. Andersson; Karl Ekdahl; Bruce R. Levin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antibiotic resistance; mathematical modeling; pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics; penicillin binding protein; postantibiotic effect; reversibility; selection; community intervention; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik; matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance has become a major public health concern and mathematical models are important analytical tools for the understanding, evaluation and prediction of the resistance problem and related control strategies.The risk of emerging antibiotic resistance and selection has rarely been a concern in the design of antibiotic drug dosing regimens.

  6. 19. New AI-based methods for studying antibiotic-resistant bacteria

    Author : Juan Salvador Inda Díaz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Transformers; Antibiotic Resistance; Infectious Diseases; Metagenomics; Data-driven Diagnostics;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is a growing challenge for human health, causing millions of deaths worldwide annually. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), acquired through mutations in existing genes or horizontal gene transfer, are the primary cause of bacterial resistance. READ MORE

  7. 20. Antibiotic resistance in the pan-genome of E. coli

    Author : Jennifer Jagdmann; Hervé Nicoloff; Dan I. Andersson; Alex O´Neill; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibiotic resistance; pan-genome; genetic diversity; plasmids; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : The pan-genome of a species is made up of all gene families that can be included in any individual isolate of the species. Escherichia coli (E. coli) has an open pan-genome including at least 128000 gene families, while only about half of the genes found in each individual isolate are common to all isolates. READ MORE
