  2. 6. Antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacilli : with focus on cephalosporin resistance mechanisms in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae

    Author : Owe Källman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Objectives: The objectives of this thesis were to study mechanisms conferring cefuroxime resistance in clinical non-ESBL (extended-spectrum beta-lactamase) producing isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, as well as the presence of co-resistance to other antibiotics in the K. pneumoniae isolates.

  4. 7. 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; []

    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

  5. 8. Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli : multidrug-resistance and different aspects of invasive infections

    Author : Malin Vading; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli are pathogens belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. They can cause infections ranging from uncomplicated urinary tract infection to severe bloodstream infection (BSI). READ MORE

  6. 9. Studies on two bacterial resistance mechanisms to β-lactam antibiotics : extended spectrum β-lactamases in Klebsiella oxytoca and methicillin resistance in staphylococci

    Author : Shang Wei Wu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Eleven clinical isolates of Klebsiella oxytoca from Stockholm hospitals were found to be resistant to aztreonam and cefuroxime (MIC > 16 mg/L). The resistance was caused by a ß-lactamase with pI 5.25 and designated KH. Assay of the substrate profiles revealed that the KH ß-lactarnase was similar to the chromosomally encoded OXY-2 ß-lactamase. READ MORE

  7. 10. Plasmid mediated antibiotic resistance : with focus on extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)

    Author : Alma Brolund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Enterobacteriaceae is a family of bacteria including Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae that are common colonizers of the gastrointestinal tract. Extended spectrum β- lactamases (ESBL) are bacterial enzymes that degrade β-lactam antibiotics and thus make the bacteria resistant to β-lactam antibiotics. READ MORE
