2. 1. The Colonization Strategies of Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae - Bacterial Colonization Factors and Vaccine Development

   Author : Farshid Jalalvand; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ABC-transporter; bacterial colonization; Haemophilus influenzae; Haemophilus Protein F; laminin; NTHi; pathogenesis; vaccine; virulence; vitronectin.;

   Abstract : Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a remarkably proficient colonizer of the human respiratory tract. The aim of this thesis has been to characterize currently known, and identify novel, bacterial factors involved in the key processes of colonization and pathogenesis, namely adherence to host tissue and evasion of the host innate immunity.

4. 2. Interactions of vitronectin and plasminogen with Helicobacter pylori

   Author : Martina Pantzar; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bacteriology; Microbiology; catalase; extracellular matrix; adhesion; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

   Abstract : Helicobacter pylori is the main cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease in man and is also associated gastric cancer. The spiral shaped H. pylori moves through the gastric mucous layer and colonises the gastric epithelial cells. H. READ MORE

5. 3. Haemophilus influenzae adhesins and the innate immune response

   Author : Elena Ronander; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; inflammation; Haemophilus influenzae; Haemophilus surface fibrils; complement; innate immune response; protein E; respiratory epithelium; adhesins;

   Abstract : Haemophilus influenzae is a human specific Gram-negative respiratory tract pathogen. Encapsulated H. influenzae strains exist in six different serotypes a-f, of which type b (Hib) is the most virulent. Hib is protected by the polysaccharide capsule when invading the blood circulaton and may cause diseases such as meningitis and epiglottitis. READ MORE

6. 4. Survival strategies of the human respiratory tract pathogen Haemophilus influenzae

   Author : Teresia Hallström; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; bacteriology; virology; Haemophilus influenzae; IgD-binding; protein structure of Hsf; Microbiology; The complement system; virologi; mykologi;

   Abstract : Haemophilus influenzae is an important respiratory tract pathogen responsible for a variety of infections in humans. Encapsulated H. influenzae belongs to one of six serotypes (a-f), of which type b is the most virulent one causing serious and sometimes life-threatening diseases (e.g. READ MORE

7. 5. Haemophilus influenzae Outer Membrane Proteins-Structure, Function and Virulence Mechanisms

   Author : Al-Jubair Tamim; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : Complement system; Haemophilus influenzae; Haemophilus surface fibril; Outer membrane proteins; Protein E; Protein H and Vitronectin.;

   Abstract : Haemophilus influenzae is a Gram-negative bacterium that is classified by the presence or absence of a polysaccharide capsule, termed “typeable” and “non-typeable” H. influenzae (NTHi), respectively. READ MORE
