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

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

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

    Author : Erick José Amaya; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Annual child mortality has declined in the world from 12.5 million in 1990 to 8.8 million in 2008. Yet, infectious diseases are still the major cause of death in this group (6. READ MORE

  5. 3. Molecular basis for trimethoprim and sulphonamide resistance in Gram negative pathogens

    Author : Malin Grape; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Resistance to antibiotics is becoming an important global public health problem. Infectious diseases are still among the major causes of disease and death in many parts of the world and the possibilities to treat bacterial infections are now threatened due to the spread of antibiotic resistance.

  6. 4. Bacterial Resistance to Antimicrobial Peptides : Rates, Mechanisms and Fitness Effects

    Author : Maria Pränting; Dan Andersson; Ian Chopra; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : antimicrobial peptides; antibiotic resistance; fitness cost; bacterial evolution; small colony variants; cyclotides; Biologi med inriktning mot mikrobiologi; Biology with specialization in Microbiology; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : The rapid emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics has necessitated the development of alternative treatment strategies. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important immune system components that kill microbes rapidly and have broad activity-spectra, making them promising leads for new pharmaceuticals. READ MORE

  7. 5. Immunity to Salmonella infection

    Author : Cecilia Johansson; Immunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi; cytokines; antigen presentation; liver; dendritic cells; Salmonella; gram negative bacteria;

    Abstract : The immune system has several strategies to combat infections. The present study investigates various aspects of the interaction between Gram negative bacteria, particularly Salmonella, and antigen presenting cells (APC). Salmonella is an intracellular bacterium infecting mice and man. READ MORE
