    • Real-time polymerase chain reaction species specific for Neisseria Gonorrhoeae 

      Olsen, Merethe Elise (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-05)
      Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease caused by bacteria called gonococci. The disease was described in ancient times, but until the late nineteenth century it was mixed up with syphilis. Eventually microscopy could differ between the organisms and give a reliable diagnosis. Human is the only known reservoir for gonorrhea. It is transferred during all acts of sexual activity, and an infection ...

    • Prevalence of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance in Norwegian and Swedish clinical isolates of Escherchia coli and Klebsiella spp. 

      Karah, Nabil (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-06-12)
      The aim of this study was to examine the presence of plasmid-mediated qnr and aac(6')-Ib-cr resistance genes among Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. clinical isolates obtained between 2003 and 2005 from Norway and Sweden and showed resistance and/or reduced susceptibility to nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin, respectively. Prevalence of the qnr (1.6%) and aac(6’)-Ib-cr (14.1%) determinants was ...

    • The 5-HT1E receptor. Receptor structure and ligand interactions. 

      Gabrielsen, Mari (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2006-12-08)
      5-HT (5-Hydroxytryptamine; Serotonin) is the neurotransmitter with the highest number of known receptors in humans, and the importance of 5-HT is also reflected in the number of species using 5-HT as a signalling molecule and the number of 5-HT receptors found within each species. 15 human 5-HT receptors have at this date been characterised and classified into seven 5-HT receptor families. Six of ...
