Antibiotics against bovine mastitis pathogens : resistance and novel targets
Nordraak, Anne Olsdatter Ohren (Master thesis, 2022)Bovine mastitis is the most frequent disease of dairy cattle and the major cause of antibiotic usage in dairy production. It causes impaired animal wellbeing, economical losses and food waste all over the world. This thesis ... -
Bacteriocins : from discovery to characterization and applications
Oftedal, Thomas Førland (PhD thesis;2023:74, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Multidrug resistant bacteria have become a major concern in both human and veterinary medicine. Due to the waning efficacy of many antibiotics, new antimicrobial agents are needed. Bacteriocins are ribosomally ... -
Bovine staphylococci and their spectrum of antimicrobial resistance and virulence characteristics
Fergestad, Marte Ragnhild Ekeland (PhD Thesis;2021:60, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Staphylococci are a group of bacteria capable of colonizing and infecting a variety of host species and causing disease in a range of different tissues. Staphylococcus aureus is the most studied staphylococcal species and ... -
Bruk av CRISPR interferens til å studere gener i Staphylococcus aureus som er viktige for interaksjon med bakterier i jurmikrobiotaen
Petersheim, Ingrid (Master thesis, 2022)Staphylococcus aureus er et av de hyppigste årsakene til utvikling av bovin mastitt, som er en av de mest utfordrende sykdommene hos melkekyr på verdensbasis. Mastitt forårsaker problemer som redusert helsetilstand hos ... -
Bruk av CRISPR-interferens til å identifisere gener involvert i toleranse mot antibiotika i Staphylococcus aureus
Frøynes, Anette Heidal (Master thesis, 2020)Staphylococcus aureus, ofte kalt gule stafylokokker, er en svært viktig human bakteriell patogen. Bakterien forårsaker en rekke humane kliniske sykdommer som strekker seg fra lokaliserte, avgrensede hud- og bløtvevsinfeksjoner ... -
CAAX-proteiner og sekresjon av virulensfaktorer i Streptococcus pneumoniae
Heiland, Catharina Sørlie (Master thesis, 2018)CAAX amino-terminal protease familien (heretter omtalt som CAAX-proteiner), består av antatt membranbundne metallproteaser. Dette er proteiner som finnes i både eukaryote- og prokaryote celler, men deres funksjon i prokaryote ... -
Characterization of a novel cell wall binding domain of the fratricin CbpD from Streptococcus dysgalactiae
Allred, Jennie Ann (Master thesis, 2022)The Streptococcus genus contains a large variety of species across seven subgroups. The lesser-known Streptococcus dysgalactiae of the pyogenic group is both a human and an animal pathogen and is subsequently divided into ... -
