6. Theoretical modelling of LA-MRSA in Swedish pig production
Abstract : Antimicrobial resistance is a threat to global health. Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) is a category of multiresistant bacteria that primarily colonises livestock animals. While pigs are considered its main reservoir, LA-MRSA is zoonotic and causes an occupational risk to those working with livestock. READ MORE

7. Studies of chronic ulcers and larval therapy
Abstract : Our aims in this study were to learn more about chronic ulcer pathogenesis (Paper I) and larval therapy (Paper II-V).Materials and methods: Paper I: 26 bacterial isolates of P. aeruginosa from chronic ulcers were examined by PCR technique for detection of the genes of two virulence factors (elastase and alkaline proteinase).

8. Bacterial infections in dogs with special reference to urinary tract infections, surgical site infections and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius
Abstract : An increase in antimicrobial resistance in canine bacterial pathogens, including multidrug-resistance, has been reported worldwide. Increasing antimicrobial resistance is of concern, not only as it complicates therapy in dogs, but also as it is a public health problem when the pathogens are zoonotic, or the location of resistance genes enables transfer between bacteria of animal and human origin.

9. Prevention and control of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in equine hospitals in Sweden
Abstract : Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) was first described in 1961 and has since caused nosocomial infections and therapeutic limitations. In Sweden, the first finding of horses infected with MRSA was in 2008. Nosocomial spread of MRSA among horses is a hazard for the patients and those in contact with the animals. READ MORE

10. Bacterial physiology and its role in antibiotic refractoriness
Abstract : The pathological outcome of a bacterial infection depends on the interplay among the host’s innate defenses, the virulence arsenal of the pathogen and antibiotic treatment strategies. Understanding this interplay will provide mechanistic insights on antibiotic pharmacodynamics and bacterial pathogenesis, and set the stage for the development of novel therapeutic interventions.
