  2. 11. The impact of Staphylococcus aureus surface proteins on virulence

    Author : Niklas Palmqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Staphylococcus aureus; septic arthritis; sepsis; virulence; cell wall-anchored proteins; surface proteins; fibrinogen.;

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen in humans with the potential to cause life-threatening invasive infections, including sepsis and septic arthritis. The pathogenicity of S. aureus depends on the expression of a variety of virulence factors. READ MORE

  4. 12. Cytokines in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis. For better for worse

    Author : Olof H. Hultgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Staphylococcus aureus; septic arthritis; sepsis; cytokines; IL-4; IL-12; TNF; LTa; IFN-g.;

    Abstract : Septic arthritis is an inflammatory condition in joints caused by in situ residing bacteria accompanied by a septic reaction. Bacteria reach their target via the blood stream and the major human pathogen is Staphylococcus aureus. READ MORE

  5. 13. Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, molecular epidemiology and host immune response

    Author : Gunlög Rasmussen; Bo Söderquist; Kristoffer Strålin; Eva Särndahl; Peter Bergman; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Staphylococcus aureus; molecular epidemiology; DNAmicroarray; bacteremia; sepsis; NLRP3; inflammasome; caspase-1; HLA-DR; HLA-DRA; CD74;

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen responsible for a considerable disease burden worldwide. It may cause a wide array of infections, from superficial skin infections to invasive bacteremia and complications such as infective endocarditis (IE) and osteomyelitis. This thesis aimed to investigate aspects of the molecular epidemiology of S. READ MORE

  6. 14. Antibiotic Resistance in Wastewater : Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)and antibiotic resistance genes

    Author : Stefan Börjesson; Per-Eric Lindgren; Johanna Ericson Sollid; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MRSA; SCCmec; spa typing; Staphylococcus aureus; methicillin; B-lactam; aminoglycoside; tetracycline; antibiotic; wastewater; wastewater treatment plant; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : A large part of the antibiotics consumed ends up in wastewater, and in the wastewater the antibiotics may exert selective pressure for or maintain resistance among microorganisms. Antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes encoding antibiotic resistance are commonly detected in wastewater, often at higher rates and concentrations compared to surface water. READ MORE

  7. 15. Staphylococcal prosthetic joint infections : similar, but still different

    Author : Staffan Tevell; Bo Söderquist; Åsa Nilsdotter-Augustinsson; Annelies Zinkernagel; Örebro universitet; []

    Abstract : Staphylococci constitute a major part of our commensal flora but are also the most common bacteria causing prosthetic joint infections (PJIs), a dreaded complication of arthroplasty surgery. However, not all staphylococci are the same. READ MORE
