1. RAPD and REA for Characterization of Lactobacillus plantarum strains, and Enterococcus spp. with Special Reference to Enterococcus spp. from Meat and Humans
Sammanfattning : Restriction Endonuclease Analysis (REA) was used to characterize strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lb. pentosus, and Lb. reuteri. This method was shown to be a powerful tool for separation at the species and strain level. LÄS MER
2. Hemoproteins of Enterococcus faecalis
Sammanfattning : The gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus faecalis is a commensal organism, often found in the gut of humans and other animals. It can cause opportunistic disease and it frequently causes nosocomial infections. Treatment of such infections is often impaired by this organisms broad intrinsic and acquired resistance to antibiotics. E. LÄS MER
3. Heme Protein Biogenesis - Catalase in Enterococcus faecalis
Sammanfattning : Heme proteins form a large and diverse group of proteins which are involved in a variety of biological functions. The heme prosthetic group enables them to carry out redox reactions, transport electrons, bind gaseous molecules, and function as sensors. Despite their importance only little is generally known about heme protein biogenesis. LÄS MER
4. Battling Bacterial Biofilm - antibiotic regimens targeting Grampositive pathogens in biofilm
Sammanfattning : AbstractBacteria in most environments encase themselves in a hydrated matrix of polysaccharide and protein, forming organized communities called biofilms. In the biofilm bacteria are protected against hostile environments. Biofilms are important clinically because of their persistence despite host defence and their recalcitrance to antimicrobials.

5. Periprosthetic Joint Infections. Clinical and Epidemiological Aspects
Sammanfattning : Periprostheteic joint infection (PJI) is a rare complication of arthroplasty with severe consequences for the affected patients. PJI most often necessitates additional surgery and prolonged courses of antibiotic treatment, leading to worse functional results and increased societal costs. LÄS MER
