   Abstract : Both Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and nontypeable H. influenzae (NTHi) are important human pathogens causing invasive and mucosal infections. Currently there are number of vaccines available against Hib infections. READ MORE

4. 2. Invasive haemophilus influenzae infection. Clinical, immunologic and pathogenic aspects

   Author : Svante Hugosson; Sweden Gothenburg University of Gothenburg; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Haemophilus influenzae; epidemiology; mortality; vaccination; epiglottitis; meningitis; hearing loss; neuropsychology immunology; physiopathology; adhesion;

   Abstract : Invasive Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) infection, predominantly manifested as acute meningitis and epiglottitis, is a serious disease with associated mortality and residual handicap. Prevention of the disease is possible by vaccination against Hi serotype b (Hib). READ MORE

5. 3. Lipid-based liquid crystals as drug delivery vehicles for antimicrobial peptides

   Abstract : The development of antimicrobial resistance is a great challenge within the health sector around the world. The demand for new efficient treatments is alarming in order to treat various bacterial infections in the near future. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a group of novel antibiotics that have gain more and more attraction the past decade. READ MORE

6. 4. Silicon Nanowire Based Sensors for Bacterial Tests

   Author : Yingtao Yu; Zhen Zhang; Mihai Adrian Ionescu; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; silicon nanowire; field-effect transistor; antibiotic susceptibility test; bacterial metabolism; nanoelectromechanical sensor; multiplexed detection;

   Abstract : Rapid and reliable antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) is urgently required to diagnose bacterial infectious diseases and avoid antibiotic misuse, providing valuable information on the efficacy of antibiotic agents and their dosages for treatment. However, the currently employed phenotypic ASTs normally demand the growth of bacteria into colonies, which usually takes more than two days. READ MORE

7. 5. Antimicrobial potential of strontium against bacteria associated with peri-implantitis

   Author : Hatem Alshammari; Andreas Stavropoulos; Jessica Neilands; Timo Närhi; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Dental implants are nowadays a standard treatment to replace missing teeth and restore function and aesthetics. However, biological complications associated with implants, e.g., peri-implant infections, are common and jeopardize the success of treatment. READ MORE
