  1. 1. Infections in the central nervous system with focus on meningococcal disease : clinical and epidemiological aspects

    Författare :Olof Säll; Paula Mölling; Sara Thulin Hedberg; Martin Sundqvist; Magnus Rasmussen; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CNS infection; meningitis; encephalitis; Neisseria meningitidis; serogroup Y; serogroup W; meningococcal disease; carriage; PCR;

    Sammanfattning : Infections in the central nervous system (CNS) include meningitis and encephalitis and are associated with high mortality and morbidity. A large number of different pathogens can cause these infections, including Neisseria meningitidis. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Genome-based characterization of Neisseria meningitidis with focus on the emergent serogroup Y disease

    Författare :Bianca Törös; Hans Fredlund; Paula Mölling; Sara [Thulin] Hedberg; Per Olcén; Håkan Miörner; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neisseria meningitidis; meningococcal disease; serogroup Y; molecular characterization; epidemiology; genome sequencing; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

    Sammanfattning : Neisseria meningitidis, also referred to as meningococcus, is one of the leading causes of epidemic meningitis and septicaemia worldwide. Despite modern treatment, meningococcal disease remains associated with a high mortality (about 10%). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Characterisation of Neisseria meningitidis from a virulence and immunogenic perspective that includes variations in novel vaccine antigens

    Författare :Susanne Jacobsson; Hans Fredlund; Per Olcén; Paula Mölling; Elisabeth Wedege; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Neisseria meningitidis; meningococcal disease; risk factors; vaccine; genome-derived neisserial antigens GNA ; polymerase chain reaction PCR ; sequencing; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicin; Medicine; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

    Sammanfattning : Neisseria meningitidis, also referred to as meningococcus, is a Gram-negative diplococcal bacterium best known as an important cause of meningitis and septicaemia worldwide. Meningococcal disease is a rare but life-threatening illness that may progress to death despite optimal medical care including appropriate antibiotic therapy. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Antimicrobial peptides and virulence factors in meningococcal colonisation and disease

    Författare :Miriam Geörg; Ann-Beth Jonsson; Ole E. Sørensen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neisseria meningitidis; antimicrobial peptide; LL-37; cell-penetrating peptide; resistance; polynucleotide phosphorylase; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Sammanfattning : The Gram-negative bacterium Neisseria meningitidis is a transient commensal of the human nasopharynx, but occasionally causes life-threatening disease. During colonisation of its niche, N. meningitidis has to overcome innate immune defences, including the expression of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Antibiotic susceptibility and resistance in Neisseria meningitidis : phenotypic and genotypic characteristics

    Författare :Sara Thulin Hedberg; Magnus Unemo; Per Olcén; Hans Fredlund; Ian Feavers; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neisseria meningitidis; meningococcal disease; antibiotic resistance; antibiotic susceptbility; biological cost; PCR; sequencing; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Microbiology; immunology; infectious diseases; Mikrobiologi; immunologi; infektionssjukdomar; Medical microbiology; Medicinsk mikrobiologi; Bacteriology; Bakteriologi; Biomedicin; Biomedicine; Medicin; Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Neisseria meningitidis, also known as the meningococcus, is a globally spread obligate human bacterium causing meningitis and/or septicaemia. It is responsible for epidemics in both developed and developing countries. LÄS MER
