  1. 1. Immunity to Salmonella infection

    Author : Cecilia Johansson; Immunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi; cytokines; antigen presentation; liver; dendritic cells; Salmonella; gram negative bacteria;

    Abstract : The immune system has several strategies to combat infections. The present study investigates various aspects of the interaction between Gram negative bacteria, particularly Salmonella, and antigen presenting cells (APC). Salmonella is an intracellular bacterium infecting mice and man. READ MORE

  2. 2. Importance of wild birds in the spread of Salmonella

    Author : Helena Palmgren; Björn Olsen; Bo Svenungsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Salmonella; wild birds; Black-headed gull; Peregrine falcon; Antarctica; penguins; seals; PFGE; IS200; salmonella carriage;

    Abstract : Salmonella is one of the most important enteropathogenic bacteria. It is responsible for about 5000 reported cases of human gastroenteritis each year in Sweden. Salmonellosis is a zoonotic disease, and the bacterium has the ability to infect a variety of both domestic and wild animal species. READ MORE

  3. 3. Adapting to succeed : Post-transcriptional gene regulation in Salmonella

    Author : Alisa Rizvanovic; Erik Holmqvist; Fabien Darfeuille; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Salmonella; gene regulation; post-transcriptional regulation; RNA-binding protein; ProQ; sRNA; flagella; motility; antibiotic persistence;

    Abstract : Salmonella are zoonotic pathogens of worldwide economic and health importance. Both during life outside and inside the host, these pathogens are subject to continuously changing environmental conditions, such as temperature changes, acid stress, nutrient limitations, and others.

  4. 4. Presentation of Salmonella antigens by dendritic cells

    Author : Ulf Yrlid; Immunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; serology; Immunology; antigen processing and presentation; Dendritic cells; Salmonella; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi;

    Abstract : This study investigates the interaction between dendritic cells (DC) and the Gram negative intracellular bacterium Salmonella typhimurium. Using in vitro and in vivo approaches, the capacity of DC to directly and indirectly present antigens from Salmonella-infected cells, cytokine production by infected DC, and activation of bacteria-specific T cells was analyzed.

  5. 5. Recruitment, Differentiation, and Function of monocytes during Salmonella infection

    Author : Anna Rydström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Salmonella; Monocyte; Neutrophil; Chemokine; Toll-like receptor; Differentiation;

    Abstract : Monocytes are a heterogeneous population in the blood with an enormous plasticity whose fate and functions are dictated by the microenvironment. They are phenotypically and functionally related to neutrophils and dendritic cells (DCs) and share an overlapping expression pattern of surface molecules with these cells. READ MORE
