  1. 11. Bloodstream infections with ESBL-producing Enterobacterales : prediction, rapid diagnosis and molecular epidemiology

    Författare :Inga Fröding; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are a threat to public health worldwide. Particularly, the increase of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales (EPE) is a significant clinical problem. ESBLs confer resistance to cephalosporins and carbapenemases confer resistance to carbapenems. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Biofilm formation in invasive disease caused by fungus of the genus Candida

    Författare :Srisuda Pannanusorn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Candida species are ranked as the fourth leading cause of nosocomial bloodstream infection. The association of the infection with several risk factors has been reported. The most predominant risk factor, however, is the presence of an intravenous catheter in patients, which provides an artificial surface for Candida spp. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Burden of disease and identification of intervention targets in extended-spectrum β-lactamase-associated infections

    Författare :Joakim Isendahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE) have surged globally since the early 2000s, partly due to dissemination of CTX-M-15 producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) sequence type 131 and its sub-lineages H30-R and H30-Rx. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Studies on Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation and the bacterial interaction with the human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide LL-37

    Författare :Eva Hell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The long-term use of central venous catheters for delivering nutrients and drugs in preterm neonates has been related to nosocomial infections. The majority of late-onset sepsis in very preterm infants (... LÄS MER

  7. 15. Identification of galectins as novel inflammatory mediators

    Författare :Jenny Almkvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human neutrophils; NADPH-oxidase; Galectin-1; Galectin-3; priming; degranulation;

    Sammanfattning : The human neutrophils play important roles in the host defence against invading microorganisms. To eliminate bacteria or other invaders the neutrophils have to leave the bloodstream and cross the endothelium, migrate through the extracellular matrix towards the site of infection and phagocytose the prey to ultimately kill it.
