21. Molecular epidemiology of streptococcus pneumoniae
Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pneumoniae, also named pneumococci, is often part of the normal flora in the nasopharynx of healthy children. However, pneumococci are also a major cause of morbidity and mortality world-wide, and colonization is required for pneumococci to cause severe invasive diseases such as septicaemia and meningitis.

22. Competence pilus biogenesis in Streptococcus pneumoniae
Sammanfattning : Horizontal gene transfer drives bacterial evolution and is crucial for the pathogenicity of many bacteria that can exchange genetic material through distinct mechanisms such as natural transformation. S. LÄS MER
23. Characterization of host and microbe interactions affecting adherence, clearance and systemic spread of S. pneumoniae
Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) mainly gives rise to diseases of the respiratory tract, such as pneumonia, acute otitis media and sinusitis, but it also causes severe invasive diseases, such as meningitis and sepsis. The pneumococcus accounts for approximately two million deaths world-wide every year, the majority of which are children in developing countries. LÄS MER
24. Aetiology in community-acquired pneumonia
Sammanfattning : Background: Although community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common and well-known disease, its microbial aetiology is still not well characterized. During the past few years nucleic acid detection using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been developed for detection of many bacterial and viral pathogens causing respiratory tract infections.
