  2. 1. Quantitative detection of bacterial DNA in whole blood in bloodstream infection

    Author : Ingrid Ziegler; Kristoffer Strålin; Paula Mölling; Magnus Rasmussen; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bloodstream infection; bacteremia; sepsis; DNA load; quantitative PCR; droplet digital PCR; 16S rDNA;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to increase the knowledge on how quantitative PCR can be used in the diagnostics of bloodstream infections, with an emphasis on quantitative elements.In Papers I and II, we evaluated quantitative data from two commercial PCR tests for pathogen detection directly in blood, Magicplex Sepsis (I) and SeptiFast (II), from patients with suspected sepsis.

  4. 2. Molecular analysis of the oral microbiota of dental diseases

    Author : Eleni Kanasi; Sirkka Asikainen; Anne CR Tanner; Ingegerd Johansson; Gunnar Dahlén; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; early childhood caries; early periodontitis; 16S rDNA cloning and sequencing; whole genomic DNA probes; oligonucleotide DNA probes; PCR; diversity; molecular; aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans; serotypes; Oral microbiology; Oral mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : Traditionally, bacterial culture has been used for bacterial detection, allowing study of living microorganisms. Molecular methods are rapid and allow simultaneous identification of numerous species and uncultivated phylotypes. READ MORE

  5. 3. LYME BORRELIOSIS Detection and identification of the infecting genotype

    Author : Katharina Ornstein; Sektion III; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parasitologi människa och djur ; Parasitology human and animal ; Infektioner; Infections; PCR; genospecies; Lyme borreliosis; Borrelia burgdorferi; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : Lyme borreliosis is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, a bacterium with a parasitic life-style, which is transmitted between hosts by the Ixodes tick-vector. Humans will incidentally become infected. The resulting illness can involve the skin, nervous system, joints and heart. READ MORE

  6. 4. Temporal and spatial variation in the community composition of lake bacterioplankton

    Author : Eva S. Lindström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; bacterioplankton; freshwaters; 16S rDNA; DGGE; community composition; Biologi; Biology; Biologi; limnologi; Limnology;

    Abstract : Bacterioplankton are among the smallest and most abundant organisms in lake ecosystems. Due to the lack of relevant methods, the taxonomic composition of bacterioplankton has been studied less thoroughly than that of larger organisms. READ MORE

  7. 5. Kleptoplasty in Dinophysis spp : Ecological role and evolutionary implications

    Author : Susanna Minnhagen; Paulo Salomon; Gregory Doucette; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dinophysis; kleptoplastid; real-time PCR; 16S rRNA; plastid evolution; Baltic Sea; Flow cytometry; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; Akvatisk ekologi; Aquatic Ecology;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the question of whether planktonic protits of the genus Dinophysis have permanent plastids (=chloroplasts) or practice kleptoplasty, i.e. acquire plastids via predation on other microorganisms. Sequencing the plastid 16S rDNA of Dinophysis spp. READ MORE
