PhD Student: Kasper Mikkelsen, email: kasper.mikkelsen@sund.ku.dk Staphylococcus aureus is a serious human pathogen with a remarkable ability to adapt to challenging conditions and cause life-threatening infections. The most important class of antimicrobials for the treatment of S. aureus infections is the β-lactams. By the acquisition of the staphylococcal chromosome cassette (SCCmec), some S. aureus isolates have evolved methicillin-resistance (MRSAs) that are resistant to nearly every β-lactam antibiotic, why additional measures are needed to combat this pathogen.

Decoding the lamination, cytoarchitecture and cellular composition of the entorhinal cortex PhD Student: Tobias Borgtoft Bergmann email: tobi@sund.ku.dk, The entorhinal cortex, as part of the parahippocampal region, is involved in unique functions related to spatial navigation and consolidating episodic memory. The entorhinal cortex and the entorhinal cells that are responsible for its unique tasks have mainly been investigated by electrophysiological and histological studies. READ MORE |

| Contracaecum osculatum larvae in Baltic cod (Gadus morhua): Effects on growth and immune response
PhD student: Huria Marnis, e-mail: marnis.huria@sund.ku.dk The eastern Baltic cod has experienced a marked increase in infection caused by third-stage larvae of the nematode Contracaecum osculatum. The cod acts as transport host with the third-stage larvae located in the liver. The PhD project produced three published papers. READ MORE |

Biofluid proteome profiling of perinatal infectious diseases in preterm neonates PhD student: Tik Muk, e-mail: tik.muk@sund.ku.dk Perinatal infectious diseases, such as chorioamnionitis (CA) and neonatal sepsis, remain a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, especially for the preterm infant population.

Gut and systemic immune responses to prenatal inflammation in preterm neonates PhD student: Shuqiang Ren, e-mail: shuqiang.ren@sund.ku.dk The immature functions of the organs and immune system of preterm infants predispose them to gut and immune disorders. Growth and developmental delays in preterm neonates may affect various organ systems differently at the term-corrected age. Read more |

Genomic Epidemiology and Aquatic Reservoirs of the Seventh Pandemic Vibrio cholerae in Tanzania With the currently available scientific knowledge and tools to guide prevention and treatment, every death due to cholera can be avoided. Cholera, however, continues to take a heavy toll in developing countries especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, where it has become recurrent for the past forty years favored by poverty, poor hygiene and the vulnerability of populations living around lakes and those affected by conflicts or natural disasters. |

| Antimicrobial-induced plasmid-transfer in Escherichia coli
PhD student: Gang Liu, e-mail: gangliu@sund.ku.dk, Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat to human and animal health, and it is projected that by the year 2050 more people will die due to infections with AMR bacteria than cancer, if we do not find ways to prevent development and spread of AMR. |

Genetic diversity and antimicrobial resistance in commensal Escherichia coli from pigs and broiler chickens Escherichia coli is an important part of the gut flora of all warm-blooded vertebrates. So far research has focused on the few types of E. coli that cause disease, while the large group of harmless, commensal E. coli has been neglected. |
