  2. 1. Studies on cell wall-attached proteins of Streptococcus pyogenes

    Author : Magnus Rasmussen; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; insertion sequence; phase variation; collagen-like; alpha2-macroglobulin; pattern; virulence; surface protein; Stretococcus pyogenes; cell wall-attached protein; Clinical biology; Klinisk biologi;

    Abstract : Cell wall-attached proteins (CWPs) are important for the virulence of Gram-positive bacteria, but are also targets for the host immune system. CWPs have a conserved COOH-terminal region, responsible for cell wall-sorting. A pattern based on this conserved region was developed. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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. 3. Surface proteins of Finegoldia magna interacting with the human host

    Author : Christofer Karlsson; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Finegoldia magna; Gram-positive anaerobic cocci; surface proteins; protease; LL-37; MIG CXCL9; Fibrinogen; adhesion; gene disruption; bacterial aggregation; basement membranes;

    Abstract : Finegoldia magna is a Gram-positive anaerobe and a member of the normal human microflora. This bacterium is also an opportunistic pathogen and isolated from ~10% of all anaerobic infections. Reoccurring taxonomical changes and the anaerobic growth have contributed to the neglect of F. magna. READ MORE
