1. Group B streptococci and other neonatal infections
Sammanfattning : The main objectives of this thesis were to estimate the incidence and etiology of invasive infections in neonates and to characterize invasive strains of group B streptococci from a defined geographic area. All infants aged 0-120 days with a bacterial or fungal isolate from blood or CSF in the defined area were identified. LÄS MER
2. Tissue tropism among group A streptococci - importance of bacteria associated proteolytic activity
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
3. Clinical and molecular studies of β-haemolytic streptococci
Sammanfattning : Beta-haemolytic streptococci (BHS) are important causes of human infections and they have traditionally been grouped according to Lancefield antigens. The spectrum of infections caused by BHS includes pharyngitis, skin infections, bacteraemia/sepsis, endocarditis, septic arthritis and meningitis. LÄS MER
4. Interactions between β-haemolytic streptococci and the human host. Heart, skin and beyond
Sammanfattning : Group C and G streptococci (GCS/GGS) and group A streptococci (GAS) belong to β-haemolytic streptococci (BHS). GCS/GGS can further be species determined to S. dysgalactiae, whereas S. pyogenes are GAS. LÄS MER
5. Engineering of small IgG binding domains for antibody labelling and purification
Sammanfattning : In protein engineering, rational design and selection from combinatorial libraries are methods used to develop proteins with new or improved features. A very important protein for the biological sciences is the antibody that is used as a detecting agent in numerous laboratory assays. LÄS MER
