  1. 26. Genotypic and phenotypic characterisation of Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from prosthetic joint infections

    Författare :Bengt Hellmark; Bo Söderquist; Magnus Unemo; Åsa Nilsdotter; Tor Monsén; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Staphylococcus epidermidis; prosthetic joint infections; antibiotic susceptibility; virulence factors; epidemiology; MLST; agr; SCCmec; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

    Sammanfattning : Staphylococcus epidermidis has emerged in recent years as an important nosocomial pathogen, especially in infections associated with implanted foreign body materials (e.g., prosthetic joints and heart valves) and in individuals with a compromised immune system (e.g. LÄS MER

  3. 27. Antibiotic resistance and pathogenesis of Streptococci with focus on Group A Streptococci

    Författare :Feiruz Alamiri; Malmö Experimentell infektionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antibiotika resistens; Bröstmjölk; Luftvägsinfektioner; Biofilm bildning; Internalisering; Persistens; HAMLET; Streptokocker; kolonisering; Streptococcus pneumoniae; biofilm formation; Internalisation; Persistence; Antibiotic resistance; Streptococcus pyogenes; Streptococcus agalactiae; HAMLET; Breast milk; Proteome; Virulence factors; Colonization;

    Sammanfattning : Multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections remain the leading cause of death worldwide. MDR infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn), Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS) and Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) are considered global threats to human health due to increased spread of antibiotic resistance and limited treatment options.

    Sammanfattning : Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous foodborne Gram-positive bacterium. Despite being mainly a soil bacterium, it can reach the food processing environment and contaminate food destined for human consumption, causing outbreaks. LÄS MER

  5. 29. Studies of Giardia-host interactions: role of cysteine-rich surface proteins

    Författare :Dimitra Peirasmaki; Staffan Svärd; Steven Singer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Giardia; intestinal parasite; parasite infection; host-parasite interaction; virulence factors; HCMPs; cysteine-rich proteins; secretome; proteome;

    Sammanfattning : Giardia intestinalis is a eukaryotic parasite that colonizes the small intestine of humans and animals causing the diarrheal disease known as giardiasis. This parasite is not invasive and does not internalize into host cells but it rather attaches to the brush border surface of the small intestine disrupting the epithelial barrier. LÄS MER

  7. 30. Development and validation of a localized murine candidiasis model : The pathogenesis, chemotheraphy and defense mechanisms to Candida mastitis in the lactating mouse

    Författare :Faisal Abdi Guhad; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology and anatomy; Murine model; Candida albicans; Pathogenesis; Virulence factors; Amphotericin B; Fluconazole; Complement activation; C3c; SCID mice; Nude mice; Fysiologi och anatomi; Physiology and pharmacology; Fysiologi och farmakologi; Physiology; fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : A murine model of localized candidiasis (mastitis) was developed. The model was analyzed withrespect to its discriminative abilities through investigation of the virulence properties of C.albicans mutant strains compared with the wild-type parental strain. LÄS MER
