  1. 6. PCR detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae in pneumonia patients

    Författare :Guma M. K. Abdeldaim; Björn Herrmann; Jonas Blomberg; Kristoffer Strålin; Birgitta Henriques; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Lower respiratory tract infections; Pneumonia; Streptococcus pneumoniae; Haemophilus influenzae; real-time PCR;

    Sammanfattning : PCR is a rapid, reproducible method for nucleic acid detection. However, this technology displays significant deficiencies when applied in clinical microbiology. This work’s aim was to improve current diagnostics and provide sensitive and quantitative real-time PCRs. LÄS MER

  3. 8. Penicillin-Nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae in Malmö, Sweden. Aspects of Epidemiology, Microbiology and Genetics

    Författare :Percy Nilsson Wimar; Preventiv pediatrik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Day-care centers; Streptococcus pneumoniae; Penicillin-nonsusceptible; Medicin människa och djur ;

    Sammanfattning : S. pneumoniae is a major cause of common diseases such as acute otitis media and pneumonia, as well as more serious illnesses like septicemia and meningitis. The increasing level of resistance in pneumococci threatens to change the tradition of treating common respiratory infections with narrow-spectrum penicillin. LÄS MER

  4. 9. Antibiotic use and respiratory pathogens with focus on Streptococcus pneumoniae in Tanzanian children

    Författare :Matilda Emgård; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antimicrobial stewardship; Drug resistance; Bacterial; Drug prescribing; Infant; Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines; Streptococcus pneumoniae; Tanzania; Viruses;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the epidemiology of Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococci) and other respiratory pathogens after introduction of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and further portrays antibiotic use in Tanzanian children. Pneumococci are a leading cause of pneumonia in children. LÄS MER

  5. 10. Competence pilus biogenesis in Streptococcus pneumoniae

    Författare :Vitor Oliveira; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Horizontal gene transfer drives bacterial evolution and is crucial for the pathogenicity of many bacteria that can exchange genetic material through distinct mechanisms such as natural transformation. S. LÄS MER
