  1. 1. Studies on the Expression and Regulation of Enterotoxins and Colonization Factors in Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC)

    Författare :Matilda Nicklasson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :ETEC; heat-stable enterotoxin; heat-labile enterotoxin; colonization factors; CS5; CS6; virulence gene expression; in vivo and in vitro; genetic variability;

    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

  3. 2. Innate immune response in human endothelial cells : characterization and regulation of E-selectin, ICAM-I and cytokine expression and the role of Staphylococcus aureus

    Författare :Jan Strindhall; Åsa Ljungh; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Endothelial cells located on the vessel walls play an important role in inflammation. In response to cytokines or other inflammatory mediators such as microorganisms, endothelial cells express cell adhesion molecules such as E-selectin and ICAM-1 that are involved in binding circulating leukocytes to the endothelium.

  4. 3. Virulence factors and clonal relatedness of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) isolated from children with diarrhoea in Bolivia

    Författare :Claudia Rodas Miranda; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli; Virulence factors; Bolivia; Children; Severity of disease; Relatedness;

    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
