1. Host-bacteria interactions : Host cell responses and bacterial pathogenesis
Sammanfattning : Helicobacter pylori colonizes the human stomach, where it causes gastritis that may develop into peptic ulcer disease or cancer when left untreated. Neisseria gonorrhoeae colonizes the urogenital tract and causes the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea. LÄS MER
2. Host response in sepsis
Sammanfattning : Sepsis is a serious condition characterized by a systemic inflammatory response to an infection. Increased vascular leakage, vasodilation and heart failure cause circulatory disturbances challenging the intensivist. Despite modern medication and high technology supportive care, mortality is high. LÄS MER
3. Helicobacter pylori : bacterial adhesion and host response
Sammanfattning : The gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori infects more than half of the population worldwide. H. pylori manage to establish persistent infection, which would be life-long if not treated. In order to establish such an infection, this pathogen has to deal with the host immune system. LÄS MER
4. Febrile Urinary Tract Infection: P fimbriae, Innate Host Response and Bacteremia
Sammanfattning : Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common human infections, and febrile UTI with bacteremia the most severe form. The relation between bacteria and host decides disease severity. The dominating uropathogen is Escherichia coli (E. coli). LÄS MER
5. Bacterial virulence or exorbitant host response? On innate immunity against the streptococcal M1 protein
Sammanfattning : Bacterial infection is inevitable throughout a lifetime. What differs between mild andserious infections is the pathogen responsible and how the host immune systemresponds to it. A fundamental role to prevent infection is a proper physical barrier such as the skin and mucosa. LÄS MER
