Description
This thesis examined the ability to predict the emergence of bacteria resistant to antibiotics using genetic markers in the bacteria. Bacteria containing the genetic markers were able to become resistant to antibiotics, whereas bacteria that did not have the genetic markers remained susceptible. Existing techniques can identify the presence of resistance by looking at the characteristics of the bacteria during growth. However, having the ability to predict antibiotic resistance before it emerges could improve the preservation of currently available antibiotics and minimise treatment failure.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
