  1. 21. Urinary tract infection : pathogenesis and complications

    Författare :Olof Hertting; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common infections in women and children worldwide. If not diagnosed and treated appropriately, it may lead to severe illness and long-term complications. The economic impact caused by UTI on society is significant. In addition, bacterial resistance to common antibiotics is spreading at a high rate. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Host responses to malaria and bacterial co-­infections

    Författare :Maria Nelson; Johan Normark; Sven Bergström; Anna Fahlgren; Olle Stendahl; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Plasmodium; Malaria; Borrelia; S. pneumoniae; Co-infection; Immunology; Metabolomics;

    Sammanfattning : The two main causes of child mortality and morbidity in Africa are malaria and invasive bacterial diseases. In addition, co-infections in sub-Saharan Africa are the rule rather than the exception. However, not much is known about the host-pathogen interaction during a concomitant infection or how it affects the outcome of disease. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Functional study of hemolymph coagulation in Drosophila larvae

    Författare :Zhi Wang; Ulrich Theopold; Brian Lazzaro; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; innate immunity; hemolymph coagulation; clot components; Drosophila larvae; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Many pathogen infections in nature are accompanied by injury and subsequent coagulation. Despite the contribution of hemolymph coagulation to wound sealing, little is known about its immune function. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Genetic adaptation of salmonella enterica to phagocytic cells

    Författare :Sofia Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Salmonella; macrophages; host-adaptation; microarray; nitric oxide;

    Sammanfattning : Salmonella enterica is a collection of closely related enteric bacteria that as a species is capable of infecting a wide variety of hosts. S. enterica serovar Typhimurium, (S. Typhimurium), causes a systemic disease in mice which in many aspects resembles human typhoid fever caused by S. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Regulation of NK cell activity : studies of DAP12-associated receptors in immune synapse formation and in responses to cytomegalovirus infection

    Författare :Hanna Sjölin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :NK cells; DAP12; MCMV Cytokines; Receptors; Signaling; packages;

    Sammanfattning : Natural killer (NK) cell effector functions are important for innate resistance against tumor cells and viral infections. NK cells display a broad range of inhibitory and activating receptors on the cell surface, which ensure specificity. LÄS MER
