  2. 1. Mucosal immunity in the respiratory tract : The role of IgA in protection against intracellular pathogens

    Author : Ariane Rodríguez; Carmen Fernández; Lennart Hammarström; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mucosal immunity; respiratory tract; IgA; intracellular pathogens; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : The lungs and upper airways are mucosal surfaces that are common site for infection with an enormous variety of inhaled pathogens. Therefore, induction of immune responses in the respiratory tract is crucial for protection against respiratory diseases. One of the pathogens infecting the host via the respiratory tract is Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Bacteria that escape predation : waterborne pathogens and their relatives

    Author : Karolina I. A. Eriksson; Agneta Andersson; Johanna Thelaus; Jon Ahlinder; David Sundell; Klaus Jürgens; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bacterial pathogens; protozoa; predation resistance; aquatic microbiology; climate change; opportunists; humification; iron; environmental science; miljövetenskap; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : The hidden presence of opportunistic bacterial pathogens in the environment evokes concerns about emerging diseases, especially in the light of climate change. The co-evolution of bacteria and their predators (protozoa) has led to bacterial defence strategies of which some contribute to the ability of bacteria to cause disease. READ MORE

  5. 3. Regulation of internalization and replication of intracellular bacterial pathogens

    Author : Eugénie Bassères; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The capacity of intracellular bacteria to cause disease depends on their ability to invade and replicate within eukaryotic host cells. These characteristics also allow preferential invasion and replication by facultative anaerobic bacteria in solid tumours, which can be exploited to design delivery vectors for cancer therapy.

  6. 4. Expanding the Chlamydiae tree : Insights into genome diversity and evolution

    Author : Jennah E. Dharamshi; Thijs J. G. Ettema; Alexander Probst; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PVC superphylum; Chlamydiae; chlamydia; intracellular; symbiosis; endosymbiont; pathogen; marine sediment; sponge microbiome; metagenomics; uncultured microbial diversity; phylogenomics; microbial evolution; eukaryote evolution; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Abstract : Chlamydiae is a phylum of obligate intracellular bacteria. They have a conserved lifecycle and infect eukaryotic hosts, ranging from animals to amoeba. Chlamydiae includes pathogens, and is well-studied from a medical perspective. READ MORE

  7. 5. Environmental factors selecting for predation resistant and potentially pathogenic bacteria in aquatic environments

    Author : Peter Mathisen; Agneta Andersson; Johanna Thelaus; Mats Forsman; Anders Sjöstedt; Tron Frede Thingstad; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Eutrophication; productivity; predation pressure; predation-resistant bacteria; pathogens; Francisella tularensis; adaptation; biomarker; oligotyping;

    Abstract : The long history of co-existence of bacteria and their protozoan predators in aquatic environments has led to evolution of protozoa resistant bacteria (PRB). Many of these bacteria are also pathogenic to humans. READ MORE
