11. Structural characterization of proteins to investigate their roles in diseases: Focus on MID & LTA4H
Sammanfattning : Protein molecules are responsible for many biological functions in cells. In order to fulfill their various biological roles, these chain-like molecules must fold into precise three-dimensional shapes. The knowledge of accurate molecular structures is a prerequisite for rational drug design and for structure based functional studies. LÄS MER
12. Acute Otitis Media. Aspects of diagnosis and prophylaxis
Sammanfattning : Acute otitis media (AOM) is one of the most common childhood diseases and the most common causes of antibiotic treatment in small children. Most children will experience one or two episodes of AOM during preschool age but some will suffer from repeated attacks, they will become otitis-prone. LÄS MER
13. Host-Pathogen Interactions in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Invasive and Respiratory Tract Infection
Sammanfattning : Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium that causes debilitating infections when the immune defence is compromised. It possesses an arsenal of virulence traits to colonize most compartments of the body and is often highly resistant against commonly used antimicrobial drugs. LÄS MER
14. Targeting cell envelope synthesis of Streptococcus pneumoniae and microfluidic diagnostic tool development
Sammanfattning : Evolving antibiotic resistance warrants the development of new therapeutic and diagnostic approaches as part of the strategies to secure future antibacterial therapies and preserve the compounds currently available. Work constituting the thesis characterized small molecules yielded from a screen for autolysis inducing compounds on Streptococcus pneumoniae. LÄS MER
15. 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.
