1. The role of the Type IV pili system in the virulence of Francisella tularensis
Sammanfattning : Francisella tularensis is a Gram-negative intracellular pathogen causing the zoonotic disease tularemia. F. tularensis can be found almost all over the world and has been recovered from several animal species, even though the natural reservoir of the bacterium and parts of its life cycle are still unknown.

2. Type III Secretion Mediated Translocation of Effector Exoenzymes by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
3. Lifestyle and Genome Evolution in Vector-Borne Bacteria : A Comparison of Three Bartonella Species
Sammanfattning : Bacterial genomes provide records of the molecular processes associated with emergence and evolution of different bacterial lifestyles. This thesis is based on whole-genome comparisons within the genus Bartonella, an excellent model system for studies of host- and vector-specificity and infection outcome in animal-associated bacteria.

4. Basement membrane components in the chondrocyte extracellular matrix
Sammanfattning : The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a network of macromolecules which, together with cells, forms the various tissues of all metazoan organisms. Cartilage, in contrast to most other tissues, contains relatively few cells in proportion to the volume occupied by ECM. LÄS MER
5. Identification of new virulence factors in Francisella tularensis
Sammanfattning : Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, is a highly virulent bacterium with an infection dose of less than ten bacteria. The ability of a pathogen to cause infection relies on different virulence mechanisms, but in Francisella tularensis relatively few virulence factors are known. Two F. LÄS MER
