1. Staphylococcal prosthetic joint infections : similar, but still different
Sammanfattning : Staphylococci constitute a major part of our commensal flora but are also the most common bacteria causing prosthetic joint infections (PJIs), a dreaded complication of arthroplasty surgery. However, not all staphylococci are the same. LÄS MER
2. Molecular epidemiology of Staphylococcus epidermidis in prosthetic joint infections
Sammanfattning : Staphylococcus epidermidis is ubiquitous in the human microbiota, but also an important pathogen in healthcare-associated infections, such as prosthetic joint infections (PJIs). In this thesis, aspects of the molecular epidemiology of S. LÄS MER
3. Prosthetic Joint Infection of the Hip : Cause and Effect
Sammanfattning : Every year, 18 000 patients in Sweden and more than 1 million worldwide undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA). The operation is of great benefit to patients, but is associated with several complications. LÄS MER
4. Genotypic and phenotypic characterisation of Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from prosthetic joint infections
Sammanfattning : Staphylococcus epidermidis has emerged in recent years as an important nosocomial pathogen, especially in infections associated with implanted foreign body materials (e.g., prosthetic joints and heart valves) and in individuals with a compromised immune system (e.g. LÄS MER
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
