  2. 1. The role of wastewater in surveillance and emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria

    Author : Marion Hutinel; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; Bacteriology; Antibiotic resistance; Surveillance; Horizontal gene transfer; HGT; Conjugation; Plasmids; Epidemiology; CPE; E. coli; Carbapenamase; Linezolid; Colistin; Selection; sul4; OXA-48; gar; NDM; mcr; wastewater; sewage; sewer;

    Abstract : As antibiotic resistance spreads among bacterial pathogens, it reduces treatment options and increases treatment failures of infectious diseases. Strategies employed to reduce this spread or adapt to its consequences need to be based on reliable surveillance data which is lacking in many countries, often due to limited resources. READ MORE

  4. 2. Viridans group streptococci septicaemia and endocarditis : molecular diagnostics, antibiotic susceptibility and cinical aspects

    Author : Katarina Westling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Viridans group streptococci; septicaemia; endocarditis; molecular diagnostics; rnpb; antibiotic susceptibility; linezolid; dalbavancin; tigecyclin;

    Abstract : Viridans group streptococci (VGS) are inhabitants in the oral cavity and in the gastrointestinal tract. They cause severe infections, they are responsible for up to 39 % of the cases of septicaemia in neutropenic patients with haematological diseases and cause infective endocarditis (IE), mainly in patients with native valves and previous heart disease.

  5. 3. Factors associated with healing of periradicular lesions

    Author : John Danin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Periradicular pathosis; cytokine; IL- Ira; IL-6; TGF-beta1; root canal treatment; endodontic retreatment; root- end surgery; antibiotic; linezolid; refractory periapical lesions.;

    Abstract : Healing of periradicular lesions is a complex process. This thesis addressed some factors of importance to the outcome, namely treatment options and host response in cases of refractory lesions, levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the inflammatory lesions and the response of the cytokines to preoperative administration of antibiotics.

  6. 4. Treatment optimisation of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis

    Author : Johanna Kuhlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A successful treatment outcome is seen in only 60% of persons treated for multidrugresistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) worldwide, defined as resistance to both rifampicin and isoniazid. To improve these disturbingly low numbers, treatment optimisation is highly needed. READ MORE

  7. 5. Battling Bacterial Biofilm - antibiotic regimens targeting Grampositive pathogens in biofilm

    Author : Anna Holmberg; Sektion III; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biofilm; antibiotic susceptibility; prosthetic joint infection; MBEC; Enterococcus faecalis; Enterococcus faecium; Propionibacterium acnes.;

    Abstract : AbstractBacteria in most environments encase themselves in a hydrated matrix of polysaccharide and protein, forming organized communities called biofilms. In the biofilm bacteria are protected against hostile environments. Biofilms are important clinically because of their persistence despite host defence and their recalcitrance to antimicrobials.
