  1. 1. Group B streptococci and other neonatal infections

    Författare :Elisabet Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Neonatal infections; sepsis; incidence; ; Group B streptococcus; ; serotype; ; epidemiology; ; genotype; ; surface protein; ; antibiotic susceptibility;

    Sammanfattning : The main objectives of this thesis were to estimate the incidence and etiology of invasive infections in neonates and to characterize invasive strains of group B streptococci from a defined geographic area. All infants aged 0-120 days with a bacterial or fungal isolate from blood or CSF in the defined area were identified. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Staphylococci constitute a major part of our commensal flora but are also the most common bacteria causing prosthetic joint infections (PJIs), a dreaded complication of arthroplasty surgery. However, not all staphylococci are the same. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Despite profound progress made in reducing neonatal mortality, it remains one of the major global health challenges. In 2019, the World Health Organization estimated that 2.4 million neonatal deaths occurred, accounting for over 45 percent of under-5 deaths worldwide. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Neonatal invasive infections with focus on Group B streptococci

    Författare :Margrét Johansson Gudjónsdóttir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neonatal sepsis; Group B streptococci; Virulence factors;

    Sammanfattning : Invasive infections affect neonates with the risk of severe morbidity and death, and Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B streptococcus, GBS) remains one of the most common pathogens. The aim of this thesis was to assess infections among neonates and infants, focusing on GBS to better understand prevention and treatment. LÄS MER
