Benchmarking of phylogenetic approaches for molecular epidemiology of clonal populations of bacteria : a case study with Listeria monocytogenes from food industry
(Master thesis, 2021)Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogenic bacterium with a clonal population structure. It is widely distributed in natural environments and can establish and persist in food processing factories for years, making ... -
The antiviral effects of tankyrase inhibition on influenza A virus
(Master thesis, 2021)Influenza A virus is one of the most prevalent human pathogens, being a persistent global concern due to frequent mutations and formation of new virus strains. The influenza A virus infection may induce immune responses ... -
The role of HCAR1 on oligodendrocyte proliferation and survival after neonatal hypoxia ischemia in mice
(Master thesis, 2021)Neonatal cerebral hypoxia-ischemia (HI) is a leading cause of death and disability in infants. It is characterized by insufficient supply of blood and oxygen to the brain, resulting in cell death and tissue loss. The only ... -
Uncovering a functional link between CozE proteins and lipoteichoic acid biosynthesis in Staphylococcus aureus
(Master thesis, 2021)Staphylococcus aureus is a common and successful human pathogen. Infections caused by S aureus have become an urgent challenge in nosocomial and community settings, due to their multiple virulence mechanisms and ability ... -
Utvikling av plantebaserte drikker (plantemelk) av erter og bygg
(Master thesis, 2021)Plantebaserte drikker eller plantemelk er en raskt voksende produktkategori. Slike drikker sammenlignes med tradisjonelle melkebaserte drikker i smak og bruk. Derfor er det problematisk at de fleste slike produkter på ... -
Analyse av tryptaminer i fullblod med UHPLC-MS/MS
