  2. 11. Studies on surface proteins of Gram-positive bacteria

    Author : Robert Janulczyk; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ABC transport; complement; surface protein; Gram-positive; Streptococcus pyogenes; Streptococcus pneumoniae; Klinisk biologi; Clinical biology;

    Abstract : Despite the availability of antibiotics and modern health care, infectious diseases continue to cause great suffering and costs. Bacterial surface proteins are important for the interaction between host and pathogen. READ MORE

  5. 13. Linking innate and adaptive immunity to streptococcus pneumoniae

    Author : Marie Olliver; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) most commonly colonizes the human nasopharyngeal mucosa without causing any symptoms. However, this organism has the potential to spread to normally sterile sites and cause pneumonia, meningitis or sepsis; diseases which are characterized by excessive inflammation. READ MORE

  6. 14. Glycan-based interactions of Streptococcus pneumoniae and the host

    Author : Karina Hentrich; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Streptococcus pneumoniae is commonly found as an asymptomatic colonizer of the nasopharynx of children, but it can also translocate to normally sterile body sites and cause severe diseases, like pneumonia, septicemia or meningitis. Pneumococci spread via aerosols. READ MORE

  7. 15. Characterization of virulence in clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae

    Author : Erik Martin Norman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The immune system together with competing pneumococcal strains and other bacterial species, impose a selective pressure on the pneumococcus that leads to the expansion of certain lineages and the remission of others. Our results show that the invasive disease potential varies between serotypes, and also between sequence types (STs) determined by Multi-Locus Sequence Typing (MLST). READ MORE
