2. 1. Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Duration of Carriage

   Author : Johan Tham; Enheten för infektionssjukdomar; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase; ESBL; risk factors; resistant bacteria; E. coli; Enterobacteriaceae; antibiotics; food;

   Abstract : In human medicine, the most important family of bacteria is Enterobacteriaceae, which includes genera and species that cause well-defined diseases and also nosocomial infections. These bacteria can give rise to numerous infections such as septicaemia and urinary tract infections. READ MORE

4. 2. Mechanisms and Dynamics of Carbapenem Resistance in Escherichia coli

   Author : Marlen Adler; Linus Sandegren; Josep Casadesús; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; carbapenem; antibiotic resistance; fitness cost; ESBLs; penicillin-binding proteins; gene amplification;

   Abstract : The emergence of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae worldwide has led to an increased use of carbapenems and may drive the development of carbapenem resistance. Existing mechanisms are mainly due to acquired carbapenemases or the combination of ESBL-production and reduced outer membrane permeability. READ MORE

5. 3. Carbapenemase-Producing Enterobacteriaceae in Wastewater-Associated Aquatic Environments

   Author : Faisal Ahmad Khan; Jana Jass; Bo Söderquist; Ann-Sofie Rehnstam-Holm; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibiotic resistance evolution; ESBL; Klebsiella; Multidrug; VIM;

   Abstract : The emergence of carbapenem resistance due to the carbapenem-hydrolyzing enzymes (carbapenemases) in Enterobacteriaceae has led to limited therapeutic options. The increased resistance to these “last-resort” antibiotics is fueled by overuse and misuse of antibiotics in human medicine and agriculture. READ MORE

6. 4. Antibiotic resistance gone wild : A One Health perspective on carriage, selection and transmission of Extended-Spectrum Cephalosporinase- and Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae

   Author : Clara Atterby; Josef D. Järhult; Nicola Williams; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antibiotic resistance; E. coli; K. pneumoniae; ESBL; AmpC; Carbapenemase; ciprofloxacin resistance; colistin resistance; rural; wildlife; birds; sub-MIC; MSC; Cambodia; environment; epidemiology; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

   Abstract : Antibiotics have saved millions of lives since they came into clinical use during the Second World War in the 1940s. Today, our effective use of antibiotics is under great threat due to emerging antibiotic resistance in bacteria. This thesis addresses the problems of antibiotic resistance from a ”One Health” perspective. READ MORE

7. 5. 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
