  2. 36. Multiple regulatory inputs for hierarchical control of phenol catabolism by Pseudomonas putida

    Author : W. K. Anjana Madhushani; Victoria Shingler; Livia Leoni; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; P. putida; Phenol catabolism; dmpR; dmp-System; 5’-LR; Carbon Catabolite Repression; Transcriptional Translational regulation; Crc; CrcZ; CrcY; Hfq;

    Abstract : Metabolically versatile bacteria have evolved diverse strategies to adapt to different environmental niches and respond to fluctuating physico-chemical parameters. In order to survive in soil and water habitats, they employ specific and global regulatory circuits to integrate external and internal signals to counteract stress and optimise their energy status.

  4. 37. Antibiotic resistance and antibiotic consumption with focus on Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    Author : Anna Farra; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Aims: The general aims of the present studies were to assess the levels of antibiotic resistance, in relation to antibiotic consumption at the Karolinska University Hospital, Solna (KS) and at 11 other Swedish hospitals, furthermore to assess the role of the membrane protein OprD and penicillin-binding proteins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistance to imipenem. Methods: Resistance figures were retrieved from the microbiology service databases for the period 1989-99, at the 12 above mentioned hospitals, including their intensive care units (ICU). READ MORE

  5. 38. Tumor targeted delivery of cytotoxic payloads using affibody molecules and ABD-derived affinity proteins

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Targeted tumor therapy; immunotoxins; ADCs; affibody molecule; ADAPT; pseudomonas exotoxin A; maytansinoid; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Cancer treatment cost billions of dollars every year, but the mortality rate is still high. An ideal treatment is the so-called “magic bullets” that recognize and kill tumor cells while leaving normal cells untouched. READ MORE

  6. 39. Studies on Airway Surface Liquid in Connection with Cystic Fibrosis

    Author : Inna Kozlova; Godfried Roomans; Anca Dragomir; Marieann Högman; Isabelle Sermet-Gaudelus; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cystic fibrosis; CFTR; airway surface liquid; ion content; anesthesia; mist tent therapy; Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection; Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common fatal inherited diseases, most prevalent among Caucasians. CF is caused by a mutation in the gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), which helps to create sweat, digestive juices, and airway surface liquid (ASL).

  7. 40. Characterization of IgY for Oral Immunotherapy and Prevention of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections in Cystic Fibrosis Patients

    Author : Elin Nilsson; Anders Larsson; Jane Burns; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical chemistry; Klinisk kemi; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : Chicken antibodies, commonly referred to as IgY, have several properties that make them suitable for oral treatment of infections and there is essentially no risk for development of resistance. The overall aims of this thesis were to investigate Anti-Pseudomonas IgY as prophylaxis against infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and to characterize the antibody treatment.
