  2. 16. Mucosal receptors involved in pathogen recognition and host defence

    Author : Majlis Svensson; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nefrologi; Urologi; nephrology; Urology; Infections; Infektioner;

    Abstract : Urinary tract infection is the most common infection in man. P fimbriae are virulence factors of uro-pathogenic Escherichia coli. They are expressed by 70-90 % of acute pyelonephritis isolates and up to 100% of the most virulent isolates that cause bacteremia. READ MORE

  4. 17. Colonization, persistence and virulence factors in Escherichia coli strains in the human intestinal microflora

    Author : Forough Nowrouzian; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Escherichia coli; large intestine; infant; newborn; bacterial adhesins; hemolysins;

    Abstract : Escherichia coli is a member of the normal intestinal microflora of man and many animals. In this thesis, various aspects of the E. coli colonization pattern were studied, especially the role of so called virulence factors for persistence of E. coli in the gut microflora. READ MORE

  5. 18. Antibiotic Resistance and Fitness of Escherichia coli in the Infantile Commensal Microbiota

    Author : Nahid Karami; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ampicillin; tetracycline; in vivo fitness; persistence; gene transfer; intestinal; blaTEM Escherichia coli;

    Abstract : Microbial resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem worldwide. Resistance develops not only in microbes which are the targets of the antibiotic treatment, but also in those belonging to the normal microbiota of the treated host. Little is known on the ecological consequences of antibiotic resistance in commensal bacteria. READ MORE

  6. 19. The physiological and microbiological response to renal UPEC infection

    Author : Keira Melican; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The pathological outcome of a bacterial infection depends on the interplay between the host s defences and the virulence arsenal of the pathogen. Appreciation of this interplay is crucial to the understanding of pathogenesis and the development of efficient clinical treatments. READ MORE

  7. 20. The role of the epithelial cell in Escherichia coli induced neutrophil migration into the urinary tract

    Author : William Agace; Slemhinnans immunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; E.coli; cytokines; epithelial cell; mucosal inflammation; neutrophil; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi;

    Abstract : This study examined the molecular mechanisms of neutrophil migration to sites of mucosal bacterial infection. (1) Bacterial induction of neutrophil chemotactic cytokines and their role in neutrophil migration. Uropathogenic E. READ MORE
