1. Development and validation of a localized murine candidiasis model : The pathogenesis, chemotheraphy and defense mechanisms to Candida mastitis in the lactating mouse
Sammanfattning : A murine model of localized candidiasis (mastitis) was developed. The model was analyzed withrespect to its discriminative abilities through investigation of the virulence properties of C.albicans mutant strains compared with the wild-type parental strain. LÄS MER
2. Analysis of Secondary Metabolites from Aspergillus fumigatus and Penicillium nalgiovense : Antimicrobial Compounds from Filamentous Fungi Isolated from Extreme Environments
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the cultivation and extraction of filamentous fungi isolated from extreme environments in the search for new antibiotic compounds. Filamentous fungi are a rich source of medicines including antibiotics, and it is believed that many currently unknown fungal species and bioactive fungal metabolites remain to be discovered. LÄS MER
3. In vitro Pharmacodynamics of Antifungal Agents in the Treatment of Candida Infections
Sammanfattning : Pharmacodynamic studies are important for the optimal use of antimicrobial agents. Combination antifungal therapy may be one method to improve outcome in invasive Candida infections. LÄS MER
4. Manipulation of potassium ion fluxes to induce apoptosis in lung cancer cells
Sammanfattning : Apoptosis is a special form of cell death that if non-functional may lead to diseases such as cancer. A reduction of the intracellular potassium ion (K+) content is necessary for activating enzymes important for the execution of apoptosis. LÄS MER
5. Studies on laboratory diagnosis of fungal infection and antifungal susceptibility
Sammanfattning : Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are serious complications in immunocompromised hosts. Neutropenic patients with haematological malignancies or after transplantation are at risk of developing deep Candida or Aspergillus infections. LÄS MER
