1. 21. Inflammatory mediator response to Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in vitro and in middle ear infections

   Författare :Susann Skovbjerg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Gram-positive; Gram-negative; bacteria; cytokines; monocytes macrophages; phagocytosis; Streptococcus pneumoniae; autolysin; acute otitis media; secretory otitis media; children; probiotics;

   Sammanfattning : Based on the structure of the cell wall, bacteria are divided into Gram-positive and Gram-negative. While the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is thick, the cell wall of Gram-negatives is very thin and surrounded by an outer membrane with LPS. LÄS MER

3. 22. Pneumococcal pili and other cell surface properties affect the infection biology of Streptococcus pneumoniae

   Författare :Johannes Ries; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The pneumococcus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, is a major respiratory tract disease causing pathogen with an estimated mortality of 1-2 million per year worldwide. It is the most common bacterial cause of sinusitis, otitis media and community acquired pneumonia and also a major cause of invasive diseases such as septicaemia and meningitis. LÄS MER

4. 23. Respiratory Tract Infections: Aspects of Aetiology, Virulence, and Communicable Disease Control

   Författare :Jonas Ahl; Enheten för infektionssjukdomar; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Streptococcus pneumoniae; day care center; communicable disease control intervention; eradication therapy; invasive pneumococcal disease; serotype 3; aetiology; ventilator-associated pneumonia;

   Sammanfattning : The paediatric nasopharyngeal flora is regarded as the largest reservoir for Streptococcus pneumoniae, and the carrier state is always antecedent to infection and a prerequisite for dispersion of these bacteria. Pneumococci are the predominant aetiology of bacterial respiratory tract infections and a major cause of morbidity and mortality, in the most severe cases due to invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD; mainly sepsis and meningitis).

5. 24. Molecular epidemiology of pneumococcal carriage and invasive disease

   Författare :Karin Sjöström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pneumoniae, also known as pneumococcus, is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is the main cause of respiratory tract infections such as otitis media and sinusitis, but also causes millions of deaths each year due to pneumonia, meningitis and septicemia, especially among children and the elderly.

7. 25. Insight into the genetic characteristics of pneumococcal isolates

   Författare :Christel Blomberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pneumoniae is a human pathogen and a major contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. It has been estimated that it is responsible for between 1-2 million deaths annually. The normal niche for the pneumococci is the nasopharynx where the bacteria can residue for months without causing any symptoms. LÄS MER
