    Sammanfattning : Group C and G streptococci (GCS/GGS) and group A streptococci (GAS) belong to β-haemolytic streptococci (BHS). GCS/GGS can further be species determined to S. dysgalactiae, whereas S. pyogenes are GAS. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Epidemiological studies of severe infections in COPD

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Invasive Pneumococcal Disease; Bacteraemia; Tuberculosis; Epidemiology; COPD;

    Sammanfattning : It is well known that patients with COPD have an increased risk of lower respiratory tract infections, but less is known about the association with other infections. The aim of this thesis was to explore epidemiological aspects of severe infections in COPD, using public registries in Sweden. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Host-Pathogen Interactions in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Invasive and Respiratory Tract Infection

    Författare :Magnus Paulsson; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; vitronectin; Respiratory tract infections; Innate Immunity; outer membrane vesicles; outer membrane proteins; beta-lactamase; ciprofloxacin; combination treatment; bacteraemia; Complement escape;

    Sammanfattning : Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium that causes debilitating infections when the immune defence is compromised. It possesses an arsenal of virulence traits to colonize most compartments of the body and is often highly resistant against commonly used antimicrobial drugs. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia and endocarditis : epidemiology, short- and long-term mortality

    Författare :Hilmir Ásgeirsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of bloodstream infections and endocarditis. S. aureus bacteraemia (SAB) is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, and endocarditis is a severe complication. Population-based studies on S. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Infections in allogeneic stem cell transplanted patients : clinical and immunological aspects

    Författare :Elda Sparrelid; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :HSCT; bacteraemia invasive fungal infection; interstitial pneumonia; immunity.;

    Sammanfattning : In allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), 30 to 40 % of transplant related mortality is associated with infection complications. This includes invasive bacterial and fungal infection, and interstitial pneumonia (IP), which are two important causes of morbidity and mortality. LÄS MER
