  2. 1. Host-bacterium relationship in staphylococcal skin infection

    Author : Lena Mölne; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Staphylococcus aureus; skin; mice; superantigen; TSST-1; neutrophils; gamma delta T cells; bacterial DNA; CpG ODN;

    Abstract : Skin infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus are commonly occuring, both in the community and in hospitals. Despite the high prevalence of this condition, little is known about the host immune responsiveness and bacterial virulence factors during S. aureus skin infection. READ MORE

  4. 2. Staphylococcus aureus toxins - Influence on food safety and animal health

    Author : Yusak Budi Susilo; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Staphylococcus aureus; toxins; food safety; enterotoxin A SEA ; prophage life cycle; GFP reporter strain; flow cytometry; enterotoxin D SED ; accessory gene regulator agr ; bovine mastitis; enterotoxin C SEC ; toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 TSST-1 ;

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a notorious opportunistic foodborne pathogen and also a common cause of bovine mastitis. It is known to produce many different virulence factors, including various staphylococcal enterotoxins and toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1). READ MORE

  5. 3. Survival of infectious agents and detection of their resistance and virulence factors

    Author : Eva Tano; Åsa Melhus; Jan Sjölin; Marie-Louise Danielsson-Tham; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : In the first study, three different transport systems for bacteria were evaluated. The CLSI M40-A guideline was used to monitor the maintenance of both mono- and polymicrobial samples during a simulated transportation at room temperature that lasted 0-48 h. READ MORE

  6. 4. Interleukin 15 and 17 in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis

    Author : Louise Henningsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Staphylococcus aureus; Interleukin-17A; Interleukin-15; arthritis; osteoclasts; IL-23;

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus–induced arthritis leads to severe joint destruction and high mortality despite antibiotic treatment. Thus, there is a need to identify new treatment targets in addition to antibiotic therapy. Interleukin (IL)-15 has been implicated both in osteoclastogenesis and in bacterial clearance – two important issues in S. READ MORE

  7. 5. The B lymphocyte in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis

    Author : Inger Gjertsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Staphylococcus aureus; mice; arthritis; sepsis; B cells; Fcg receptors; CD22; ; IL-4; IL-10; IFN-g.;

    Abstract : Joint infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus leads to heavy synovitis and rapid destruction of bone and cartilage. Permanent loss of joint function is seen in 20-50% of the patients, despite early eradication of the bacteria with antibiotics. READ MORE
