  2. 1. Direct Demonstration of Influenza Virus and Mycoplasma Pneumoniae in the Respiratory Tract

    Author : Anna Nilsson; Enheten för infektionssjukdomar; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; polymeras chain reaction; influenza virus; Mycoplasma pneumoniae; diagnosis; respiratory tract infection; sample site; serial samples;

    Abstract : Diagnostic tests based on nucleic acid amplification have become available for Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) and influenza viruses. Here, an MP PCR test detected 100% of infections during the first three symptomatic weeks, whereas classical serology detected 21% week 1, 56% week 2, and 100% week 3. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular detection and epidemiological studies of atypical bacteria causing respiratory tract infections

    Author : Karolina Gullsby; Kåre Bondeson; Björn Olsen; Puolakkainen Mirja; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chlamydia pneumoniae; Mycoplasma pneumoniae; Bordetella pertussis; real-time PCR; P1 typing; MLVA; whole-genome sequencing; macrolide resistance; molecular diagnostics; molecular epidemiology;

    Abstract : Respiratory infections are common causes of morbidity and mortality. Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Bordetella pertussis cause respiratory infection, often with similar symptoms. Molecular diagnostic methods are preferred since these bacteria are difficult to culture. READ MORE

  5. 3. The advantages of being small : Glycosyltransferases in many dimensions and glycolipid synthesis in Mycoplasma Pneumoniae

    Author : Maria Rosén Klement; Åke Wieslander; Christelle Breton; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Glycosyltransferase; lipid; membrane; glycolipid; ACC; PLS-DA; Biochemistry; Biokemi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : The synthesis and breakdown of sugars is one of the most important functions in Nature. Consequently, sugar structures are used both as energy storage and as building blocks to stabilise and protect the cell. The formation of these structures is performed by glycosyltransferases (GT), an enzyme group structurally conserved within all kingdoms. READ MORE

  7. 5. Diagnostic methods for bacterial etiology in adult community-acquired pneumonia

    Author : Kristoffer Strålin; Åke Örtqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The etiologic agent is often unidentified in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Development of new diagnostic methods has been encouraged. We aimed to develop a multiplex PCR (mPCR) assay for common bacterial pathogens and evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of this assay and of respiratory culture in CAP. READ MORE
