  2. 1. Characterization and environmental influences on inflammatory and physiological responses

    Author : Hazem Khalaf; Per-Erik Olsson; Joe de Pierre; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Inflammation; NF-κB; cytokines; pharmaceuticals; zebrafish; Biology; Biologi; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Pharmaceuticals are regularly released into the environment, in particular nonsteroidalanti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and antibiotics. The measuredconcentrations are relatively low and have therefore been considered to be harmless. READ MORE

  4. 2. Monocyte and Neutrophil Inflammatory Responses to the Periodontopathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis

    Abstract : Periodontitis is one of the most common adult infections. Duing bacteremia in healthy individuals or patients with chronic periodontitis, a number of oral bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis encounter inflammatory cells in the blood eg. platelets, neutrophils and monocytes.

  6. 4. Plantaricins as a novel group of antibacterial compounds and enhancers of antibiotics

    Author : Amani Musa; Hazem Khalaf; Torbjörn Bengtsson; Elena Vikström; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bacteriocin; antimicrobial peptide; plantaricin; antibiotic resistance; PLNC8 αβ; ESKAPE pathogens;

    Abstract : Antibiotics have revolutionized medicine, however, the rapid development of an-tibiotic resistance among bacteria is diminishing their efficacy. Antimicrobial pep-tides produced by Lactobacillus plantarum, i.e., plantaricins, are considered prom-ising alternatives to antibiotics against infections. READ MORE

  7. 5. Development of novel tools for prevention and diagnosis of Porphyromonas gingivalis infection and periodontitis

    Author : Sravya Sowdamini Nakka; Torbjörn Bengtsson; Hazem Khalaf; Fariba Nayeri; Johanna Lönn; Tülay Lindberg; Örebro universitet; []

    Abstract : Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by exaggerated host immune responses to dysregulated microbiota in dental biofilms leading to degradation of tissues and alveolar bone loss. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major periodontal pathogen and expresses several potent virulence factors. READ MORE
