  1. 6. Nasopharynx and mucosa associated lymphatic tissue : studies on mucosal immunity, nasopharyngeal colonization with non-encapsulated non-typable Haemophilus influenzae and local administration of immunoglobulin in the upper respiratory tract

    Författare :Karin Lindberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Nasopharyngeal colonization with non-encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae (NTHI) frequently occurs in infants and in adults with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), but is rarely found among healthy adults. In children with recurrent episodes of acute otitis media (RAOM), NTHI is more common than in healthy individuals. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Genetic organization of encapsulated and non-encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae strains. Analysis of the glpTQ and 23S rRNA operons

    Författare :Xin-Ming Song; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; intervening sequence; 23S rRNA; transcription; DNA sequence; glpT; Haemophilus influenzae; glpQ; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Encapsulated Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and non-encapsulated H. influenzae (NTHi) are important pathogens causing invasive and mucosal infections in children. A 42 kDa surface-exposed lipoprotein, protein D, has been found to be a potential virulence factor of NTHi. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Haemophilus influenzae-induced acute otitis media. Aspects of virulence and protection in an animal model

    Författare :Åsa Melhus; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bacteriology; Microbiology; conjugate vaccine; protection; virulence; acute otitis media; Haemophilus influenzae; animal model; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common illness diagnosed during early childhood. One of the major etiologic agents is Haemophilus influenzae. Apart from AOM, this organism can cause a broad range of infectious diseases such as meningitis, epiglottitis, arthritis, and pneumonia. Despite the importance of H. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Structural studies on lipopolysaccharides from haemophilus species

    Författare :Brigitte Twelkmeyer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Carbohydrates are indispensable mediators for a variety of cellular interactions. In biological systems carbohydrates are usually linked to a carrier as e.g. proteins or lipids. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Structural studies of lipopolysaccharides expressed by non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae strains

    Författare :Varvara Vitiazeva; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The present thesis describes lipopolysaccharide (LPS) structures expressed by non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae strains. LPS is a major surface component of Gram-negative bacteria. LÄS MER
