dc.description.abstractDenne studien har undersøkt Escherichia coli resistente for kinoloner, en bredpektret gruppe antibiotika. Målet har vært å finne ut hvorfor disse bakteriene oftere er resistente mot andre antoibiotikagrupper. Studiet er basert på molekylærgenetisk analyser - herunder klonal analyse, plasmidanalyser og undersøkelse av resistensgener. Resultatene viser at kinolonresistente Escherichia coli er ofte multiresistente. Resultatene motbeviser flere hypoteser for denne sammenhengen bl. a. spredning av kloner og plasmidbårne kinolonresistensgener. Studiet tyder på at resistens mot andre antibiotika oppstår tidlig i utvikling av kinolonresistens. Hypotesen som er mest forenelig med våre resultater er at kinoloner utløser SOS-respons (en stress respons hos bakterie) som igjen fører til økt mutasjon og mobilisering av multiresistente plasmider.en_US
dc.description.abstractThis study has investigated Escherichia coli resistant to quinolones. The aim was to find out why these bacteria often are resistant to other antibiotics. The study is based on molecular genetics - including clonal analysis, plasmid-analysis and investigation of antibiotic resistance. The results show that quinolone resistant Escherichia coli often are multiresistant. The results contradict several hypotheses for this relationship among others the proliferation of clones and plasmid mediated quinolonresistance coupled to multiple resistance genes. The study suggests that resistance to other antibiotics occurs early in the development of quinolone resistance. The hypothesis that is most consistent with our results is that quinolones trigger the SOS response (a stress response in bacteria) which in turn leads to increased mutation and mobilization of multiresistant plasmids.en_US
