  1. 1. Group A Streptococci; Epidemiology and Genetics of Antibiotic Resistance

    Författare :Aftab Jasir; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; typing; epidemiology; M protein; emm gene; erythromycin; tetracycline; macrolides; streptococci; antibiotics; mykologi; virologi; bakteriologi; Mikrobiologi; mycology; virology; bacteriology;

    Sammanfattning : Group A streptococci (GAS) cause throat and skin infections, severe invasive diseases as well as the non-suppurative complications acute rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis. GAS have retained susceptibility to betalactam drugs, but resistance to alternative antibiotics is of concern. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Bacteriological aspects of treatment failures in streptococcal tonsillitis

    Författare :Eva Grahn; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ß-streptococci; treatment failure; a-streptococci; bacterial interference; beta-lactamase; Phenoxymethylpenicillin; penicillin tolerance;

    Sammanfattning : ß-hemolytic streptococci persist in 10-25% of patients with acute streptococal tonsillitis (about 10.000-25.000 per year in Sweden) in spite of treatment with a recommended dosage and schedule of Phenoxymethylpenicillin. LÄS MER

  4. 3. 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.

  5. 4. Tissue tropism among group A streptococci - importance of bacteria associated proteolytic activity

    Författare :Mikael Dag Svensson; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cysteine protease; plasminogen; M protein; Streptococcus pyogenes; tissue tropism; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Group A streptococcus (GAS) is one of the most common of bacterial pathogens infecting humans, frequently causing throat and skin infection. Some GAS strains have surface-expressed virulence factors called M proteins that bind human plasminogen with high affinity. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Respiratory tract infections in primary care - aspects of diagnosis and treatment

    Författare :Karin Rystedt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Group A streptococci; Penicillin V; Phenoxymethylpenicillin; Rapid antigen detection test; Antimicrobial resistance; Faecal microbiota; C-reactive protein; Influenza-like illness; Influenza A; Primary care;

    Sammanfattning : Background Primary health care is accountable for most of the antibiotic prescriptions in humans. In Sweden, most of these antibiotics are used for respiratory tract infections, and pharyngotonsillitis (acute sore throat) is the single respiratory tract infection that leads to most antibiotic prescriptions.
