2. 1. STRUCTURAL, FUNCTIONAL AND EVOLUTIONARY STUDIES OF ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDES

   Author : Mukesh Pasupuleti; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; amphipathicity and end-tagging protease susceptibility; anaphylatoxin C3a; P. aeruginosa; S. aureus; innate immunity; amphipathic molecules; Antimicrobial peptides; infectious disease; bacteriostatic; microbicidal and cytolytic properties;

   Abstract : Antimicrobial peptides represent a heterogeneous group that displays multiple modes of action such as bacteriostatic, microbicidal and cytolytic properties that are sequence and concentration dependent. Life threatening infectious disease is now a worldwide crisis and treating them effectively is becoming difficult day by day, due to the emergence of antibiotic resistant strains at alarming rates.

4. 2. Treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa using immunoglobulin Y : A porcine experimental model of ventilator-associated pneumonia and septic shock caused by P. aeruginosa

   Author : Alexander Otterbeck; Miklós Lipcsey; Michael Haney; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

   Abstract : Background: Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients treated in the intensive care unit. The spread of pathogens with anti-microbial resistance mandates the investigation of novel therapeutic strategies. We hypothesized that specific polyclonal anti-P. READ MORE

5. 3. Cell responses in infected and cystic fibrosis respiratory epithelium

   Author : Rashida Hussain; Godfried M . Roomans; Maria Björkqvist; Ferenc Karpati; Hans Kollberg; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; airway epithelial cells; cystic fibrosis; bacterial infection; CFTR; ENaC; chloride transport; intracellular calcium; P. aeruginosa internalization; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

   Abstract : Respiratory Epithelium. Örebro Studies in Medicine 99. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by a mutation in a cAMP-activated chloride (Cl-) channel (CFTR). Mortality and morbidity in CF is mainly due to the deregulated responses of the airway epithelial cells. READ MORE

6. 4. Quinolone resistance in Bacteroides fragilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, two opportunistic pathogens

   Author : Herin Oh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Quinolone; resistance; B. fragilis; P. aeruginosa; topoisomerase; efflux;

   Abstract : Opportunistic pathogens can cause infections in case of structural or functional defects in the host. Examples of Gram-negative opportunists are the Bacteroides fragilis group, anaerobic, non-spore forming rods and the aerobic, non-fermentative rod Pseudomonas aeruginosa. READ MORE

7. 5. Molecular mechanisms of fluoroquinolone resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

   Author : Shah Jalal; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : quinolone resistance; P. aeruginosa; PCR; DNA sequencing; mutation; NIRCA; RESA; multidrug efflux; cystic fibrosis;

   Abstract : Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen. In compromised human, it can cause infections in urinary tract, wound and respiratory tract such as pneumonia and progressive lung diseases. READ MORE
