      Bjørheim, Elise; Pettersen, Siri; Krutnes, Hanne; Sagen, Vilde (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-12)
      In the treatment of periodontal disease, it can be of importance to know which bacteria are associated with the inflammatory response in individual patient. Microbiological testing is not common today as a routine test in periodontal treatment, often due to high costs and time consuming procedure. However, microbial diagnosis could improve the ability to identify patients at higher risk for developing ...

    • Fitness cost and excision rate of the conjugative transposon Tn916 

      Johansen, Stine Dolores Arctander; Hansen, Ragnhild Tanberg; Ressheim, Tina-Beate Grønning (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-19)
      Dental infections are getting more difficult to treat because of the increasing amount of antibiotic resistant oral bacteria. A bacterium can acquire resistance by horizontal gene transfer, this allows a bacterial population to acquire antibiotic resistance genes at a great rate. Occasionally, newly acquired resistance can reduce bacterial fitness. However, bacteria can evolve quickly to compensate ...

      Norsk: Fluor har vært en svært viktig del av kariesforebygging globalt. Det finnes mange ulike distribusjonsmetoder og noen av de viktigste er vannfluoridering og fluortannkrem. Vannfluoridering er utbredt i mange deler av verden, men Norge har valgt å ikke gjøre dette. Som en av kompensasjonene for å ikke fluoridere vannet valgte Norge å satse mer på fluortabletter, og tablettene har en sterk ...
