6. Twin-arginine translocation in Yersinia : the substrates and their role in virulence
Sammanfattning : Pathogenic Yersinia cause a manifold of diseases in humans ranging from mild gastroenteritis (Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica) to pneumonic and bubonic plague (Y. LÄS MER
7. Identification of Virulence Factors in Nematode-Trapping Fungi - Insights from Genomics, Transcriptomics and Proteomics
Sammanfattning : Nematode-trapping fungi are soil-living organisms with the unique ability to capture and infect free-living nematodes. The interest in studying these fungi arises from their potential use as biological control agents for plant- and animal-parasitic nematodes. LÄS MER
8. Studies of the pathogenesis of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli infections: pathogen virulence factors and host response
Sammanfattning : Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a highly virulent pathogen that can cause diarrhea and a life-threatening disease known as hemolytic uremic syndrome. EHEC possess an array of virulence factors that can exert severe consequences in the host. Shiga toxin constitutes a key virulence factor. LÄS MER
9. Virulence factors and clonal relatedness of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) isolated from children with diarrhoea in Bolivia
Sammanfattning : Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is one of the major causes of diarrhoea in children under five years of age in developing countries and in travellers to these settings. To cause disease, ETEC must be able to colonize the small intestine and produce heat-stable enterotoxin (ST) or heat-labile toxin (LT) or both toxins. LÄS MER
10. The impact of Staphylococcus aureus surface proteins on virulence
Sammanfattning : Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen in humans with the potential to cause life-threatening invasive infections, including sepsis and septic arthritis. The pathogenicity of S. aureus depends on the expression of a variety of virulence factors. LÄS MER
