  2. 1. Interaction between waterborne pathogenic bacteria and Acanthamoeba catellanii

    Author : Hadi Abd; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Francisella tularensis; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; Vibrio cholerae; Acanthamoeba castellanii; predation; intracellular behaviour; symbiosis; environmental reservoir;

    Abstract : Waterborne bacteria cause global public health problems. Francisella tularensis causes tularemia, which is a fatal disease in humans. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic and nosocomial pathogen of humans. Vibrio cholerae O1 and V. READ MORE

  4. 2. Evolution and host-specific adaptations of Legionella pneumophila

    Author : Anaísa B. Moreno; Lionel Guy; Dan I. Andersson; Fredrik Söderbom; Alexander W. Ensminger; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Evolution; Legionella pneumophila; host-adaptation; experimental evolution; Acanthamoeba castellanii; transfection; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : How bacteria evolve pathogenic traits is shaped by their communities and environments. Legionella pneumophila is ubiquitous in aquatic habitats, where it persists by replicating within a broad range of protozoan hosts. Using the same mechanisms, L. READ MORE

  5. 3. Acanthamoeba castellanii as a host and model to study bacterial virulence

    Author : Amir Saeed; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of cholera, a waterborne diarrheal disease and it is believed to be strictly extracellular bacterium. Cholera remains as a global public health threat affecting most of the developing world. In endemic areas, women and children are among the high risk. Recently outbreaks are reported from many countries. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular detection of Vibrio cholerae and protozoa from water and interaction of V. cholerae clinical isolates with Acanthamoeba castellanii

    Author : Salah Shanan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Microbial contamination of water is a major public concern due to outbreaks of cholera, giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis. Despite this, a large number of bacteria, protozoa and viruses can be found in water. READ MORE

  7. 5. The Salmonella enterica virulence : its role in bacterial adaption to mammalian and protozoan cells

    Author : Dilek Tezcan-Merdol; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Salmonella virulence plasmid; spvB gene; mono ADP-ribosyl transferase; actin; Acanthamoeba rhysodes;

    Abstract : Salmonellae are Gram-negative enteric bacteria and facultative intracellular pathogens responsible for a diversity of illnesses in a wide range of hosts, including man. Many serovars of Salmonella enterica harbor a plasmid that enhances bacterial virulence in infection models, and that seems to promote extraintestinal infection in man. READ MORE
