11. Methods and Applications in Comparative Bacterial Genomics
Sammanfattning : Comparative studies of bacterial genomes, now counting in the hundreds, generate massive amounts of information. In order to support a systematic and efficient approach to genomic analyses, a database driven system with graphic visualization of genomic properties was developed - GenComp. LÄS MER
12. Bioinformatic tools for the analysis of microbial genomes
Sammanfattning : High throughput genome sequencing projects are producing an enormous amount of rawdata which has to be converted into biological knowledge. The newly established field ofbioinformatics is concerned with the continuous development of novel methods and toolsfor the comparative analysis of DNA sequences and genomic data. LÄS MER
13. Comparative Genomics of Obligate and Facultative Intracellular Parasites
Sammanfattning : The α-proteobacteria Rickettsia prowazekii and Bartonella henselae are the causative agents of epidemic typhus and cat scratch disease respectively. Whereas R. prowazekii is an obligate intracellular parasite, B. henselae can live and proliferate both outside and inside the eukaryotic host cell. LÄS MER
14. Environmental factors selecting for predation resistant and potentially pathogenic bacteria in aquatic environments
Sammanfattning : The long history of co-existence of bacteria and their protozoan predators in aquatic environments has led to evolution of protozoa resistant bacteria (PRB). Many of these bacteria are also pathogenic to humans. LÄS MER
15. Infectious diseases in returning Swedish travellers
Sammanfattning : The number of travellers to “tropical” parts of the world has increased substantially during the past decades. Identifying risk groups and providing preventive measures is important both to reduce the number of travellers falling ill and to prevent introduction of diseases into new countries. LÄS MER
