  3. 2. RNA-mediated gene regulation in Neisseria meningitidis and other nasopharyngeal pathogens

    Författare :Hannes Eichner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Neisseria meningitidis is a transient commensal bacterium of the upper respiratory tract and spreads through respiratory secretions produced by the carrier. While mostly harmless, the bacterium can cause invasive meningococcal disease by entering the circulatory system, leading to septicaemia and/or meningitis. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Bacterial interaction with the fibrinolytic system and extracellular matrix

    Författare :Thomas Herrman Eberhard; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :plasminogen; extracellular matrix; basement membrane; virulence factors; fibronectin; vitronectin; collagen; Haemophilus influenzae Neisseria meningitidis Streptococcus pneumoniae;

    Sammanfattning : Bacterial infection of host organisms is a state of complex interaction between the parasite and the host. Two critical steps in the infectious process are: Adhesion to the epithelial surfaces and penetration of tissue barriers to gain entrance to tissues and into the circulation. These two steps have been the subjects of this thesis. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Complement-dependent defence against bacterial infection. Studies in C2 deficiency

    Författare :Barbro Selander; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; antibody responses; polysaccharide antigens; vaccination; mannan-binding lectin MBL ; complement; C2 deficiency; Immunology; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi;

    Sammanfattning : The complement system is critically involved in defence against bacterial infection. C2 deficiency is, apart from mannan-binding lectin (MBL) deficiency, the most common homozygous complement deficiency among Caucasians. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Modulation of inflammatory mediators during experimental bacterial meningitis

    Författare :Hana Khidir Abdalla; Kristian Riesbeck; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Bacterial meningitis is a worldwide health problem with high morbidity and mortality mainly caused by Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae. It is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (eNS) initiated by cell wall or membrane components from the bacteria. LÄS MER
