1. 21. Hybrid antibacterial microneedle patches against skin infections

   Författare :Jill Ziesmer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are a major healthcare burden that has increased in incidence since the beginning of the 21st century resulting in an annual spending of approximately 15 b$ in 2012 in the United States (US).1 Treatment of SSTIs is complex and typically involves the administration of antibiotics.

3. 22. 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

4. 23. Harnessing the immunoregulatory capacity of single-stranded oligonucleotides to modulate innate immunity

   Författare :Aleksandra Dondalska; Anna-Lena Spetz; Jenny Hallgren Martinsson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; single-stranded oligonucleotides; Toll-like receptors; influenza; respiratory syncytial virus; dendritic cell; mast cell; virus infection; inflammation; itch; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Sammanfattning : As the first line of defense, the innate immune system is exceptionally efficacious against invading pathogens but must be tightly regulated to avoid immune-related pathogenesis. Accordingly, the innate immune system recognizes highly conserved components associated with infections and damaged cells using a limited number of pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs), which are differentially expressed across cell types.

5. 24. Perioperative Strategies to Prevent Surgical Site Infection After Shoulder Surgery

   Författare :Vendela Scheer; Anders Kalén; Lena Serrander; Malin Bergman Jungeström; Maria Lerm; Bo Söderquist; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : In Sweden, about 18 000 patients undergo shoulder surgery each year. The current surgical site infection (SSI) rate after planned shoulder surgery is 0,3-5 %, which means that approximately 300 people are affected each year in Sweden. LÄS MER

7. 25. Stress response and virulence in Vibrio anguillarum

   Författare :Barbara Weber; Debra L. Milton; James D. Oliver; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Vibrio anguillarum; quorum sensing; Type VI secretion; stress response; virulence; skin colonization; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

   Sammanfattning : Bacteria use quorum sensing, a cell to cell signaling mechanism mediated by small molecules that are produced by specific signal molecule synthases, to regulate gene expression in response to population density. In Vibrio anguillarum, the quorum-sensing phosphorelay channels information from three hybrid sensor kinases VanN, VanQ, CqsS that sense signal molecules produced by the synthases VanM, VanS and CqsA, onto the phosphotransferase VanU, to regulate activity of the response regulator VanO.
