    Sammanfattning : Pulmonary deterioration has remained the major cause of mortality in cystic fibrosis (C17) patients despite the considerable improvement of their survival due to more efficient therapy and centralised care. The progression of the CF lung disease is correlated to inflection with a limited number of colonising bacterial species. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Rhizobacteria associated to Vitis vinifera and their effect on the control of Xiphinema index, Meloidogyne ethiopica and Vitis growth

    Sammanfattning : Plant-parasitic nematodes are one of the most important pests affecting the growth of vineyards due to the destruction of new roots. Several species are associated with this problem, the most important being the ectoparasite Xiphinema index and the endoparasite Meloidogyne ethiopica. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Hospital-acquired pneumonia in intensive care patients

    Författare :Petra Hyllienmark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The present thesis describes the incidence and risk factors for pneumonia and especially ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. Bacteria in samples from the lower respiratory tract of patients receiving mechanical ventilation are reported, including the duration of treatment prior to the first occurrence of different pathogens.

  5. 4. Fungal colonization and infection in cystic fibrosis : prevalence, consequences and intervention

    Författare :Mahasin Al Shakirchi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited progressive disease affecting multiple organs. The main cause of death in CF is related to the respiratory complications. Inflammation and infection, triggered by colonizing microorganisms in CF airways, cause structural lung damage resulting in respiratory failure and death. LÄS MER
