1. Quantifying Phagocytosis – studies on the antibody response during invasive streptococcal infections
Sammanfattning : The interaction between our immune system and pathogens encompasses a complex spectrum from symbiosis to potentially life-threatening diseases. Throughout evolution, our immune system has evolved numerous strategies such as phagocytosis to combat infections and protect us from diseases. LÄS MER
2. Clinical and molecular studies of β-haemolytic streptococci
Sammanfattning : Beta-haemolytic streptococci (BHS) are important causes of human infections and they have traditionally been grouped according to Lancefield antigens. The spectrum of infections caused by BHS includes pharyngitis, skin infections, bacteraemia/sepsis, endocarditis, septic arthritis and meningitis. LÄS MER
3. Interactions between β-haemolytic streptococci and the human host. Heart, skin and beyond
Sammanfattning : Group C and G streptococci (GCS/GGS) and group A streptococci (GAS) belong to β-haemolytic streptococci (BHS). GCS/GGS can further be species determined to S. dysgalactiae, whereas S. pyogenes are GAS. LÄS MER
4. Pharyngotonsillitis in primary health care. Aetiology and clinical findings
Sammanfattning : Pharyngotonsillitis, or acute sore throat, is a common reason for attending primary health care and a common reason for antibiotic prescription. Group A Streptococcus (GAS) has long been considered the most important pathogen in pharyngotonsillitis, but a wide array of other bacteria and viruses have also been associated with this condition.

5. Mastitis in dairy cows : genotypes, spread, and infection outcome of three important udder pathogens
Sammanfattning : Mastitis, inflammation of the udder, is a common disease among dairy cows worldwide. This thesis investigated the genotype variation and spread of three major udder pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, and Streptococcus uberis. LÄS MER
