    Sammanfattning : Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium of major human health concern, causing urogential chlamydia infections, lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) and trachoma. Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections worldwide and can cause infertility. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Spotted Fever Rickettsioses in Sweden : Aspects of Epidemiology, Clinical Manifestations and Co-infections

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rickettsia helvetica; Rickettsia felis; co-infection; erythema migrans; meningitis; serology; PCR; western blot; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

    Sammanfattning : The spotted fever group rickettsiae are emerging diseases. They cause damage in their hosts by invading the endothelium in small to medium-sized blood vessels, which results in vasculitis that can cause clinical manifestations from most organs. LÄS MER

  5. 4. PCR detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae in pneumonia patients

    Författare :Guma M. K. Abdeldaim; Björn Herrmann; Jonas Blomberg; Kristoffer Strålin; Birgitta Henriques; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Lower respiratory tract infections; Pneumonia; Streptococcus pneumoniae; Haemophilus influenzae; real-time PCR;

    Sammanfattning : PCR is a rapid, reproducible method for nucleic acid detection. However, this technology displays significant deficiencies when applied in clinical microbiology. This work’s aim was to improve current diagnostics and provide sensitive and quantitative real-time PCRs. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Chlamydia trachomatis: Development of molecular typing methods and applications in epidemiology

    Författare :Markus Klint; Björn Herrmann; Jonas Blomberg; Michael Ward; Uppsala universitet; []
