1. Studies on the Expression and Regulation of Enterotoxins and Colonization Factors in Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC)
Sammanfattning : Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is one of the most common causes of acute watery diarrhoea in developing countries, particularly among local children less than five years and is also the most common cause of diarrhoea in travellers to ETEC endemic areas. The infection is transmitted by ingestion of contaminated food and water and the disease is established in the small intestine. LÄS MER
2. Studies of Carbohydrate-Binding Proteins from Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
Sammanfattning : Knowledge about the carbohydrate binding specificity of pathogens can give an increased understanding of their virulence strategies, and is also of importance for the development of anti-adhesive therapies and vaccines. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a well-known causative agent of diarrheal disease. LÄS MER

4. Structural analyses of carbohydrate receptors for enterotoxins and adhesins of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
Sammanfattning : Carbohydrate-binding proteins expressed by microbes are key determinants in initiating and sustaining infections that account for millions of deaths each year. This thesis fo- cused on proteins integral to infections instigated by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC); estimated as the largest bacterial cause of diarrhea in the world with hundreds of millions of cases each year.

5. Influence of Lactic Acid Fermentation on Enteropathogenic Bacteria. Growth Inhibition in Cereal Gruels and in Human Intestine
Sammanfattning : Togwa, a lactic-fermented cereal gruel, is widely consumed in Tanzania as a soft drink or used as a complementary food for young children. Studies were conducted to evaluate the potential of togwa to inhibit growth of common enteropathogenic bacteria and heat-labile (LT) enterotoxin production. LÄS MER
