  2. 6. Vaccination against drug-resistant HIV

    Author : Andreas Boberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Combinations of antiretroviral drugs against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) have effectively postponed the progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). However, an effective vaccine against HIV-1 would undisputedly be the optimal protective strategy against the virus, especially in resource-poor settings. READ MORE

  4. 7. High Resolution Microanalysis of Creep Resistant 9-12% Chromium Steels

    Author : Lars Lundin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; martensitic stainless steel; TEM; modified 12% chromium steel; creep resistant; atom-probe field-ion microscopy;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with detailed studies of the microstructure of 9-12% chromium steels. Three alloys with improved creep resistance have been studied in different stages of heat treatment and after creep testing. Two of them were manufactured using PM/HIP and were of the type 10.

  5. 8. Molecular epidemiology of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus : epidemiological aspects of MRSA and the dissemination in the community and in hospitals

    Author : Carolina Berglund; Bo Söderquist; Teruyo Ito; Ulf Tidefelt; Johanna Ericson Sollid; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus MRSA ; community-acquired MRSA CA-MRSA ; staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec SCCmec ; multilocus sequence typing MLST ; horizontal transfer; Panton Valentine leukocidin PVL ; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : Methicillin-resistenta Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) som bär på genen mecA, har förekommit och spridit sig över hela världen, främst i sjukhusmiljö, och orsakat utbrott av vårdrelaterade (så kallade nosokomiala) infektioner. Dessa infektioner kan inte behandlas med stafylokock-penicilliner och MRSA-bakterierna är ofta resistenta även mot flera andra grupper av antibiotika vilket medför att infektionerna ofta är påtagligt svårbehandlade.

  6. 9. Bacterial viruses targeting multi-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli

    Author : Harald Eriksson; Anders Nilsson; Elisabeth Haggård-Ljungquist; Klas Flärdh; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bacterial viruses; Bacteriophage; Phage; Phage therapy; multi-resistant bacteria; Klebsiella pneumoniae; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : The global increase in antibiotic resistance levels in bacteria is a growing concern to our society and highlights the need for alternative strategies to combat bacterial infections. Bacterial viruses (phages) are the natural predators of bacteria and are as diverse as their hosts, but our understanding of them is limited. READ MORE

  7. 10. Drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Estonia

    Author : Annika Krüüner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Tuberculosis; Estonia; M. tuberculosis; drug resistance; MDR-TB; Beijing genotype; cross-resistance; kanamycin; amikacin; rrs mutations; 16S rRNA; exposure; nosocomial transmission; mycobacterial persistence; re-infection; DST; second-line drugs; Bactec; 460; DNA fingerprinting; spoligotyping;

    Abstract : Tuberculosis (TB) infection and disease patterns among different populations are extremely heterogeneous. This thesis explores mainly by microbiological methods the epidemiology of TB in Estonia. Through the work high rates of drug resistance were found. READ MORE
