  2. 1. Urinary tract infections in primary health care in northern Sweden : epidemiological, bacteriological and clinical aspects

    Author : Sven Ferry; Bengt Mattsson; Lars Burman; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urinary tract infection UTI ; primary health care PHC ; epidemiology; clinical presentation; bacteriuria diagnosis; bacteriology; drug resistance; therapy;

    Abstract : The epidemiology of urinary tract infection (UTI) in the population of Vännäs (8 000 inhabitants) was studied during one year. The annual incidence increased from 0.5% in the first decade of life to more than 10% in the age group 90-100 years. READ MORE

  4. 2. The importance of Escherichia coli fimbriae in urinary tract infection

    Author : Mats Söderhäll; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a major bacterial infectious disease among women. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli is the most dominant causative agent. READ MORE

  5. 3. Urinary tract infections in pregnancy : studies in vivo and in vitro

    Author : Musa Sekikubo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) in pregnant women is increased and predisposes them to acute pyelonephritis together with poor pregnancy outcomes. Increased frequency of micturition, nocturia and lower abdominal discomfort are common non-specific complaints during pregnancy, which render clinical diagnosis of UTI inaccurate. READ MORE

  6. 4. Novel tools for the study and diagnosis of bacterial infections : exploring the intersection of microbiology and microfabrication

    Author : Charalampos Antypas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The alarming increase in antibiotic resistance calls for new approaches to study and diagnose bacterial infections. In my thesis, I worked at the intersection of microbiology, microfabrication, and optical probes to develop novel diagnostic and screening assays for microbiology and elucidate bacterial pathogenesis in urinary tract infections (UTI).

  7. 5. Peptidomimetics based on ring-fused 2-pyridones : probing pilicide function in uropathogenic E. coli and identification of Aβ-peptide aggregation inhibitors

    Author : Veronica Åberg; Fredrik Almqvist; Jan Kihlberg; Morten Grötli; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 2-pyridone; peptidomimetic; antibacterial; pili; Escherichia coli; virulence; amyloid; Alzheimer’s.; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of highly substituted, ring-fused 2-pyridones. The utility of the bicyclic 2-pyridones to gain fundamental insights into the disease processes of bacterial infections and Alzheimer’s disease has been investigated. READ MORE
