1. 6. Novel microfluidic based sample preparation methods for rapid separation and detection of viable bacteria from blood for sepsis diagnostics

   Författare :Sharath Narayana Iyengar; Aman Russom; Jonas Tegenfeldt; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :microfluidics; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

   Sammanfattning : Sepsis is a serious medical condition characterized by a whole-body inflammatory response caused by bloodstream infection. The final stage of sepsis can lead to septic shock, multiple organ failure, and death. In early sepsis, the concentration of bacteria in the bloodstream is typically low, making diagnosis challenging. LÄS MER

3. 7. Serological classification and genetic characterization of clinical isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae

   Författare :Marianne Bäckman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Neisseria gonorrhoeae; serotyping; antibiotic susceptibility; plasmid; pilC; auxotyping; fingerprinting; geographical origin;

   Sammanfattning : Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the etiologic agent of gonorrhoea, one of the oldest and most widespread of human infections. The development of methods to characterize the bacterium is of central importance in the control of the disease. One aim of this thesis was to evaluate serotyping of N. LÄS MER

4. 8. Padlock Probe-Based Assays for Molecular Diagnostics

   Författare :Anja Mezger; Mats Nilsson; Paul Blainey; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Padlock probes; rolling circle amplification; molecular diagnostics; in situ mutation detection; Biochemistry; biokemi;

   Sammanfattning : Treatment success often depends on the availability of accurate and reliable diagnostic assays to guide clinical practitioners in their treatment choices. An optimal test must excel in specificity and sensitivity, and depending on the application area time, low-cost and simplicity are equally important. LÄS MER

5. 9. Streptococcus pneumoniae : molecular epidemiology of isolates causing invasive disease and characterization of tolerance responses to lytic antibiotics

   Författare :Birgitta Henriques Normark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major contributor to community-acquired pneumonia and invasive disease. Despite adequate treatment, the morbidity and mortality remain high. The increasing antibiotic resistance makes the scenario even worse. LÄS MER

7. 10. Precise cell manipulations and imaging of cellular responses : Methods developed using microfluidic, 3D-printing and microfabrication technologies

   Författare :Nikos Fatsis-Kavalopoulos; Johan Kreuger; Aman Russom; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : It is at the heart of biological and medical research to try and understand how cells communicate with each other, and how cells respond to alterations in their environment, including treatment with different drugs. There is in this context a continued need for better methods that allow researchers to precisely manipulate cells and their microenvironment and to study the resulting responses using high-resolution live microscopy.
