1. Streptococcal immunoglobulin degrading enzymes of the IdeS and IgdE family
Sammanfattning : Bacteria of the genus Streptococcus are common asymptomatic colonisers of humans and animals. As opportunistic pathogens they can however, depending on their host’s immune status and other circumstances, cause mild to very severe infections. LÄS MER
2. Glycan dependent Helicobacter spp. and Streptococcus oralis binding to mucins in the gastric and oral mucosal niches
Sammanfattning : Helicobacter pylori infects the stomach of half of the world’s population, while Helicobacter suis colonizes pigs and is the most common non-H. pylori Helicobacter species that also infects human stomach. Infection with Helicobacter spp. is associated with chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer. LÄS MER
3. Streptococcus suis : occurrence, identification and characteristics in Swedish pigs
Sammanfattning : Streptococcus suis is one of the most important bacterial pathogens in pigs globally, and it is also an emerging zoonotic agent. The aim of this thesis was to gain further knowledge of the occurrence and characteristics of S. suis in Swedish pigs. LÄS MER
4. Synthesis of Conformationally Restricted Oligosaccharides
Sammanfattning : Gangliosides are sialic acid-containing glycosphingolipids that often are present in increased amounts on tumor cells. Since the gangliosides are hydroxy-acids, they can form lactones. The lactones have been suspected to be more immunogenic than the open forms, but are in practise poor immunogens due to their ease of hydrolysis. LÄS MER
5. Carbohydrate-Based Inhibitors of Pathogen Adhesion to Cell Surface Glycoconjugates
Sammanfattning : The fact that a growing number of pathogens develop resistance against traditional treatment is a growing medical problem. Infections, which until now have been harmless, might turn into life threatening diseases. These problems have led to an intensified search for alternative treatments. Analogs of cell surface glycoconjugates are an alternative. LÄS MER
