  2. 16. Long-term molecular epidemiology of extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing Escherichia coli in a low-endemic setting

    Author : Anna Fagerström; Bo Söderquist; Paula Mölling; Martin Sundqvist; Katarina Persson; Linus Sandegren; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Escherichia coli; extended-spectrum β-lactamase; whole genome sequencing; plasmids; hybrid assembly; environment; IncI1; ST131;

    Abstract : Escherichia coli is a commensal inhabitant in the gastro-intestinal tract of humans and animals but it is also the most common bacterial species causing urinary tract infection, which ranges in severity from distal cystitis to urosepsis and septic shock. During the past decades, the prevalence of antibiotic resistant E. READ MORE

  4. 17. Studies on polyomaviruses in humans : in relation to haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and cancer

    Author : Géraldine Giraud; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The simultaneous discovery of two polyomaviruses in humans in 1971, BK and JC viruses (BKV and JCV), initiated the research on polyomaviruses in relation to human diseases. This has now been intensified with the consecutive discoveries, the last three years, of three new family members, KI, WU and Merkel cell polyomaviruses (KIPyV, WUPyV and MCPyV). READ MORE

  5. 18. Nitric oxide : a marker for inflammation in the lower urinary tract

    Author : Abolfazl Hosseini; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The main aim of this work is to investigate the role of Nitric oxide (NO) as a diagnostic marker for inflammation in the lower urinary tract. NO exerts multiple modulating effects on inflammation and plays a key role in the regulation of immune responses. NO is formed enzymatically in vivo from Larginine by several NO synthases (NOS).

  6. 19. On the role of nitric oxide in lower urinary tract disease

    Author : Lotta Renström Koskela; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Nitric oxide (NO) is an important biological molecule with a variety of functions. Among other, it is a signalling molecule capable of inducing smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilatation, it regulates proliferation, can induce apoptosis and act as an effector molecule in host defence reactions and in immune regulatory processes.

  7. 20. Studies on human polyomavirus infection in association with central nervous system disorders and bone marrow transplantation

    Author : Gordana Bogdanovic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Human polyomaviruses BK virus (BKV) and JC virus (JCV) do not generally cause diseases in healthy immunocompetent individuals. However both BKV and JCV can establish persistent infections that can be reactivated and associated with serious clinical diseases in some immunocompromised patients. READ MORE
