  2. 1. Hemoproteins of Enterococcus faecalis

    Author : Lena Frankenberg; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Växtekologi; heme Enterococcus faecalis enterococci catalase cytochrome; Plant ecology;

    Abstract : The gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus faecalis is a commensal organism, often found in the gut of humans and other animals. It can cause opportunistic disease and it frequently causes nosocomial infections. Treatment of such infections is often impaired by this organisms broad intrinsic and acquired resistance to antibiotics. E. READ MORE

  4. 2. Heme Protein Biogenesis - Catalase in Enterococcus faecalis

    Author : Michael Baureder; Molekylär cellbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Enterococcus faecalis; heme proteins; protein assembly; oxidative stress; catalase; cytochrome;

    Abstract : Heme proteins form a large and diverse group of proteins which are involved in a variety of biological functions. The heme prosthetic group enables them to carry out redox reactions, transport electrons, bind gaseous molecules, and function as sensors. Despite their importance only little is generally known about heme protein biogenesis. READ MORE

  5. 3. Extracellular electron transfer features of the Gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus faecalis

    Author : Galina Pankratova; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gram-positive bacteria; Enterococcus faecalis; Extracellular electron transfer; Electron-conducting redox polymers; Mediated electron transfer;

    Abstract : Electroactive microorganisms possess the unique ability to transfer electrons to or from a solid phase electron conductor, e.g., electrodes or minerals, through various physiological mechanisms. READ MORE

  6. 4. Battling Bacterial Biofilm - antibiotic regimens targeting Grampositive pathogens in biofilm

    Author : Anna Holmberg; Sektion III; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biofilm; antibiotic susceptibility; prosthetic joint infection; MBEC; Enterococcus faecalis; Enterococcus faecium; Propionibacterium acnes.;

    Abstract : AbstractBacteria in most environments encase themselves in a hydrated matrix of polysaccharide and protein, forming organized communities called biofilms. In the biofilm bacteria are protected against hostile environments. Biofilms are important clinically because of their persistence despite host defence and their recalcitrance to antimicrobials.

  7. 5. RAPD and REA for Characterization of Lactobacillus plantarum strains, and Enterococcus spp. with Special Reference to Enterococcus spp. from Meat and Humans

    Author : Mikael Quednau; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Food and drink technology; pork; chicken; antibiotic resistance; Lactobacillus plantarum; Enterococcus; REA; RAPD; Livsmedelsteknik;

    Abstract : Restriction Endonuclease Analysis (REA) was used to characterize strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lb. pentosus, and Lb. reuteri. This method was shown to be a powerful tool for separation at the species and strain level. READ MORE
