1. Evolution and host-specific adaptations of Legionella pneumophila
Sammanfattning : How bacteria evolve pathogenic traits is shaped by their communities and environments. Legionella pneumophila is ubiquitous in aquatic habitats, where it persists by replicating within a broad range of protozoan hosts. Using the same mechanisms, L. LÄS MER
2. Synthesis and investigation of bacterial effector molecules
Sammanfattning : During infections, bacterial microorganisms initiate profound interactions with mammalian host cells. Usually defense mechanisms of the host destroy intruding bacteria in rapid manner. However, many bacterial pathogens have evolved in a way to avoid these mechanisms. LÄS MER
3. Studies on cell wall recycling and modification in Gram-negative bacteria
Sammanfattning : The bacterial cell wall is made from peptidoglycan (PG), a heteropolymer which forms a bag-like exoskeleton that envelopes the cell. PG is constantly remodelled during growth and division, and in response to environmental stimuli. LÄS MER
4. Detection and epidemiologic subtyping of Legionella pneumophilia using DNA-based molecular methods
Sammanfattning : Legionella pneumophila causes 2 - 6 % of hospitalised pneumonia cases. Several community- and hospital-acquired outbreaks have been reported over the years. Legionnaires' disease (LD) or legionellosis is also a frequent cause of pneumonia amongst travellers. LÄS MER
5. Selective protein functionalisation via enzymatic phosphocholination
Sammanfattning : Proteins are the most abundant biomolecules within a cell and are involved in all biochemical cellular processes ultimately determining cellular function. Therefore, to develop a complete understanding of cellular processes, obtaining knowledge about protein function and interaction at a molecular level is critical. LÄS MER
