  2. 1. Epidemiology of Enterococci with Acquired Resistance to Antibiotics in Sweden : Special emphasis on Ampicillin and Vancomycin

    Author : Erik Torell; Mats Kallin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Communicable diseases; Antimicrobial resistance; enterococci; epidemiology in Sweden; intra-hospital spread; shedding; risk-factors; infection; colonization; virulence factors; ARE; VRE; Php; PFGE; esp; gyrA; parC; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious diseases; Infektionssjukdomar; infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

    Abstract : The first hospital outbreak of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and carriage rates of VRE and ampicillin-resistant enterococci (ARE) in Sweden were investigated. Clonal relationships and mutations in fluoroquinolone resistance determining regions among ARE collected nation-wide were studied. READ MORE

  4. 2. Chiral packed capillary chromatography using an in-column immobilized selector : With special emphasis on vancomycin

    Author : Lars A. Svensson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Farmaceutisk kemi; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Farmaceutisk kemi; analytisk farmaceutisk kemi; Analytical Pharmaceutical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Packed fused silica capillary columns have been used for enantioseparation of drugs and related compounds. The technique to prepare the chiral stationary phase (CSP) involved a reductive amination of aldehyde functionalized silica with a chiral selector. The immobilization was performed in the packed column, thereby minimizing the use of selector. READ MORE

  5. 3. Electrochemical and mechanical thin film sensors

    Author : Lars Henrik Skjolding; Fasta tillståndets fysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; vancomycin; electrochemistry; transducer; DUV lithography; nanoimprint lithography; thin film; cantilever; sensor; interdigitated electrode; electrostatic interaction; mix-and-match processing; bacteria; Fysicumarkivet A:2010:Skjolding;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the study of thin-film sensor technologies, novel microfabrication technologies, and thin-film technology in general. The work discusses electrochemical sensors and mechanical sensor technologies as well as fabrication strategies for them. READ MORE

  6. 4. Vancomycin resistant enterococci in Swedish broilers : emergence, epidemiology and elimination

    Author : Oskar Nilsson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Vancomycin resistance enterococci (VRE) are an important cause of nosocomial infections. Presence of VRE in farm animals constitute a reservoir of resistance that can spread to humans via the food-chain and is due to extensive use of the growth promoter avoparcin conferring cross-resistance to vancomycin.

  7. 5. Population structure and antibiotic resistance of the genus enterococcus in humans, animals and the environment

    Author : Aina Iversen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Enterococci; epidemiology; ecology; food animals; humans; environment; vancomycin resistance; sewage; transmission; diversity; antibiotic resistance; surveillance;

    Abstract : Enterococci belong to the normal intestinal flora of humans and animals. An increased prevalence of antibiotic resistant enterococci causing nosocomial infections has drawn attention to the epidemiology and emergence of antibiotic resistance in this genus. READ MORE
