2. Clostridium difficile : epidemiology and antibiotic resistance
Abstract : Clostridium difficile is a spore-forming toxin-producing intestinal bacterium abundant in soils and waters. This pathogen relies on increased growth by a disturbed intestinal microflora and the production of two cytotoxins, toxin A and toxin B, which may cause anything from mild self-limiting C. READ MORE

3. Characterisation of surface traits of Helicobacter pylori and their role in the infectious process
Abstract : The surface appendages of bacteria determine the initial contact with host cells. Characterisation of functional organisation and spatial distribution of adhesive traits of outer membrane components of Gram-negative bacteria is a key issue in studies of the parasite-host cell interaction.

4. Characterization of clinical enterococcal isolates in Swedish hospitals : studies on genetic relatedness and high-level gentamicin resistance
Abstract : During the last few decades, and in parallel with increasing resistance to multiple antibiotics, enterococci have become one of the leading pathogens that cause nosocomial infections. High-level gentamicin resistant (HLGR) enterococci have become frequent. Thus, there are compelling reasons to control the transmission of enterococci with HLGR. READ MORE
