  2. 11. Studies on bacterial transmission pathways in a high endemic area, with a focus on Helicobacter pylori

    Author : Anders Janzon; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : H. pylori; enterotoxigenic E. coli; V. cholerae; real-time PCR; transmission pathways; gastroenteritis; mouse infection models; bacterial gene expression;

    Abstract : Even though half of the world’s population is infected with Helicobacter pylori, which causes gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer, the transmission routes of these bacteria remain unknown despite extensive epidemiological studies. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Vibrio cholerae are two of the most common causes of acute watery diarrhea in developing countries. READ MORE

  4. 12. Complicated peptic ulcer disease : prevention and treatment

    Author : Emma Sverdén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Peptic ulcer is a common disease worldwide and its complications can cause serious clinical problems. While the incidence of uncomplicated peptic ulcer disease is decreasing, the incidence of more complex ulcer disease is not. The most common complication is bleeding. Endoscopic intervention achieves haemostasis in most patients. READ MORE

  5. 13. Persistent Helicobacter pylori infection and host response

    Author : Sönke Andres; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori persistently colonizes the gastric mucosa of approximately one half of the world's population. Colonization always leads to chronic gastric inflammation, which may progress to peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancer or MALT lymphoma. The nature of H. pylori infection is determined by bacterial, host and environmental factors. READ MORE

  6. 14. Treatment of helicobacter pylori infection : experimental and clinical studies

    Author : Mikael Sörberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Helicobacter pylori; coccoid form; treatment; pharmacodynamics; resistance; serology Stockholm 1997;

    Abstract : The general aims of the present study were to investigate the reason for failed H. pylori eradication, and to improve the recommendations for treating H. pylori infection. Our in vitro studies are based on microscopy, viable count and bioluminescence assay of bacterial adenosine triphosphate (ATP). READ MORE

  7. 15. Genetic adaptations of Helicobacter pylori during gastric disease progression

    Author : Helene Kling Bäckhed; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori colonizes the stomachs of approximately half of all humans. In the absence of treatment, H. pylori can persist throughout the life of the host. Although most infected individuals are asymptomatic, a significant proportion develops peptic ulcer disease, chronic atrophic gastritis (ChAG) or gastric adenocarcinoma. READ MORE
