2. 1. Group A Streptococci; Epidemiology and Genetics of Antibiotic Resistance

   Author : Aftab Jasir; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; typing; epidemiology; M protein; emm gene; erythromycin; tetracycline; macrolides; streptococci; antibiotics; mykologi; virologi; bakteriologi; Mikrobiologi; mycology; virology; bacteriology;

   Abstract : Group A streptococci (GAS) cause throat and skin infections, severe invasive diseases as well as the non-suppurative complications acute rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis. GAS have retained susceptibility to betalactam drugs, but resistance to alternative antibiotics is of concern. READ MORE

4. 2. Streptococci and Platelets - A Study of Host-Pathogen Interaction Dynamics

   Author : Lisbeth Svensson; Infektionsmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; host-pathogen interactions; bacterial entrapment; disaggregation; aggregation; platelet activation; Streptococci;

   Abstract : Invasive infections remains one of the leading causes of death due to infections over the world, and efficient treatment remains elusive. One of the major causes of sepsis and other invasive infections is pathogenic streptococci that cause a wide range of clinical manifestations in humans. READ MORE

5. 3. Neonatal invasive infections with focus on Group B streptococci

   Author : Margrét Johansson Gudjónsdóttir; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neonatal sepsis; Group B streptococci; Virulence factors;

   Abstract : Invasive infections affect neonates with the risk of severe morbidity and death, and Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B streptococcus, GBS) remains one of the most common pathogens. The aim of this thesis was to assess infections among neonates and infants, focusing on GBS to better understand prevention and treatment. READ MORE

6. 4. Group B streptococci and other neonatal infections

   Author : Elisabet Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Neonatal infections; sepsis; incidence; ; Group B streptococcus; ; serotype; ; epidemiology; ; genotype; ; surface protein; ; antibiotic susceptibility;

   Abstract : The main objectives of this thesis were to estimate the incidence and etiology of invasive infections in neonates and to characterize invasive strains of group B streptococci from a defined geographic area. All infants aged 0-120 days with a bacterial or fungal isolate from blood or CSF in the defined area were identified. READ MORE

7. 5. Antibiotic resistance and pathogenesis of Streptococci with focus on Group A Streptococci

   Author : Feiruz Alamiri; Malmö Experimentell infektionsmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antibiotika resistens; Bröstmjölk; Luftvägsinfektioner; Biofilm bildning; Internalisering; Persistens; HAMLET; Streptokocker; kolonisering; Streptococcus pneumoniae; biofilm formation; Internalisation; Persistence; Antibiotic resistance; Streptococcus pyogenes; Streptococcus agalactiae; HAMLET; Breast milk; Proteome; Virulence factors; Colonization;

   Abstract : Multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections remain the leading cause of death worldwide. MDR infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn), Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS) and Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) are considered global threats to human health due to increased spread of antibiotic resistance and limited treatment options.
