1. "A syndrome so characteristic" Molecular and clinical studies of Fusobacterium necrophorum and Lemierre's syndrome
Sammanfattning : Lemierre’s syndrome is caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum and involves tonsillitis, jugular vein thrombophlebitis and septic pulmonary emboli. The first studies underlying this thesis focused on bacterial interaction with coagulation. LÄS MER
2. Fusobacterium necrophorum - from tonsillar carriage to Lemierre’s syndrome
Sammanfattning : Fusobacterium necrophorum is the main causative agent of Lemierre’s syndrome, where the bacteria, following a benign initial oropharyngeal infection, cause septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein with subsequent pulmonary embolisation. Despite that data are lacking to suggest so, F. LÄS MER
3. Importance of bacterial hydrogen sulfide in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases
Sammanfattning : Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is one of many end-products of the proteolytic activities in the subgingival microbiota in patients with periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Although H2S is generally regarded as toxic, the mechanisms that underlie its production and its effects on human cells and tissues are poorly understood. LÄS MER
4. Pharyngotonsillitis in primary health care. Aetiology and clinical findings
Sammanfattning : Pharyngotonsillitis, or acute sore throat, is a common reason for attending primary health care and a common reason for antibiotic prescription. Group A Streptococcus (GAS) has long been considered the most important pathogen in pharyngotonsillitis, but a wide array of other bacteria and viruses have also been associated with this condition.

5. Gut microbiota in colorectal cancer : The importance of Parvimonas micra
Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogenous disease consisting of multiple molecular subtypes, each of which has diverse treatment responses and prognoses. The importance of the gut microbiota in CRC development and progression has undergone increasing recognition in recent years, with a structural segregation in terms of microbial composition between CRC patients and healthy controls.
