  1. 11. Structural and genetic characterization of lipopolysaccharides extracted from disease causing non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae strains

    Författare :Mikael Engskog; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the structure and genetic blueprint of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) expressed by the Gram-negative bacterium Haemophilus influenzae (H.influenzae). H. influenzae is an opportunistic pathogen that regularly colonizes the upper respiratory tract and exists in encapsulated (typeable) or nonencapsulated (non-typeable) forms (NTHi). LÄS MER

  3. 12. Haemophilus influenzae Outer Membrane Proteins-Structure, Function and Virulence Mechanisms

    Författare :Al-Jubair Tamim; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :Complement system; Haemophilus influenzae; Haemophilus surface fibril; Outer membrane proteins; Protein E; Protein H and Vitronectin.;

    Sammanfattning : Haemophilus influenzae is a Gram-negative bacterium that is classified by the presence or absence of a polysaccharide capsule, termed “typeable” and “non-typeable” H. influenzae (NTHi), respectively. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles. Mediators of virulence and antibiotic resistance

    Författare :Viveka Schaar; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antibiotic resistance; Moraxella catarrhalis; epithelial cells; beta-lactamase; non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae; outer membrane vesicles; polymicrobial infections; UspA1;

    Sammanfattning : Outer membrane vesicles (OMV) have the size of nanoparticles and are released from the outer membrane of most Gram-negative bacteria. The OMV reflect the composition of the bacterial outer membrane, including lipids and virulence factors specific for the pathogen, and are involved in pathogenesis and bacterial survival. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Invasive disease by Haemophilus influenzae in Sweden in the era of the H. influenzae type b vaccine

    Författare :Fredrik Resman; Enheten för infektionssjukdomar; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Haemophilus influenzae; sepsis; epidemiology; antimicrobial resistance; bacterial adhesion;

    Sammanfattning : What is the current status of Haemophilus influenzae as an agent of invasive infection in Sweden? H. influenzae type b (Hib) used to be a common cause of meningitis, epiglottitis and severe sepsis in young children. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Survival strategies of the human respiratory tract pathogen Haemophilus influenzae

    Författare :Teresia Hallström; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; bacteriology; virology; Haemophilus influenzae; IgD-binding; protein structure of Hsf; Microbiology; The complement system; virologi; mykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Haemophilus influenzae is an important respiratory tract pathogen responsible for a variety of infections in humans. Encapsulated H. influenzae belongs to one of six serotypes (a-f), of which type b is the most virulent one causing serious and sometimes life-threatening diseases (e.g. LÄS MER
