  1. 1. Colonization, infection and dissemination in intensive care patients

    Författare :Christina Agvald-Öhman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Colonization; multi-resistant bacteria; dissemination; intensive care unit; invasive Candida infection;

    Sammanfattning : Nosocomial infections are a substantial problem in hospitals all over the world and the incidence is among the highest in the intensive care unit, affecting mortality and morbidity for the individual patient and cost for the society. In order to prevent these infections it is important to gain knowledge about colonization and infection pathways as well as about bacterial dissemination between patients. LÄS MER

  3. 2. 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. 3. Invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised hosts : epidemiology and diagnostics

    Författare :Anders Krifors; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : This doctoral project aimed to attain a more in-depth knowledge of the epidemiology and diagnosis of invasive fungal infections. In Study I, we evaluated the diagnostic performance of PCR/ESI-MS. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Studies on laboratory diagnosis of fungal infection and antifungal susceptibility

    Författare :Erja Chryssanthou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are serious complications in immunocompromised hosts. Neutropenic patients with haematological malignancies or after transplantation are at risk of developing deep Candida or Aspergillus infections. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Modulation of neutrophil extracellular trap formation in health and disease

    Författare :Ava Hosseinzadeh; Constantin F. Urban; Carol Munro; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neutrophils; Candida albicans; Adenosine; Tempol; Nicotine; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Sammanfattning : The critical prompt innate immune response is highly built upon the influx of neutrophils from the blood stream to the site of infection. In the battlefield, neutrophils sense pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) through their pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) to launch a number of responses with the goal to defeat the invading pathogen.
