  2. 1. Influence of Lactic Acid Fermentation on Enteropathogenic Bacteria. Growth Inhibition in Cereal Gruels and in Human Intestine

    Author : Rose Kingamkono; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; intestinal mucosal permeability; enteropathogenic bacteria; enterotoxins; lactic acid fermentation;

    Abstract : Togwa, a lactic-fermented cereal gruel, is widely consumed in Tanzania as a soft drink or used as a complementary food for young children. Studies were conducted to evaluate the potential of togwa to inhibit growth of common enteropathogenic bacteria and heat-labile (LT) enterotoxin production. READ MORE

  4. 2. Role of extracellular ATP in immune mechanisms against infections

    Author : Lalitha Tadala; Andrea Puhar; Sara I Wilson; Bernt Eric Uhlin; Mikael Sellin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Extracellular ATP; invasive bacteria; Shigella; Listeria; plasma membrane ruffle; PIEZO1; infection; immune response; Hanta virus; molekylär cellbiologi; molecular cell biology;

    Abstract : Inflammation is driven either by infection with pathogens or sterile stimuli, such as tissue damage or autoimmune diseases. Upon tissue damage, ATP is released passively from the dead or compromised cells. During stress, ATP can be secreted from the cells. Extracellular ATP (eATP) acts as an endogenous danger signal.

  5. 3. Enteropathogenic Yersinia spp. and Salmonella spp. in Swedish wild boars : the presence and molecular epidemiology

    Author : Axel Sannö; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Wild boars are reported as carriers of several zoonotic agents. The aims of this thesis was to investigate the presence of the foodborne enteropathogens Salmonella spp., Yersinia (Y.) spp. READ MORE

  6. 4. Biogenesis, function and regulation of the type III secretion translocon of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis

    Author : Salah I. Farag; Matthew S Francis; Jörgen Johansson; Åke Forsberg; Luís Jaime Mota; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; type III secretion system; translocation; translocon; regulation; bacteria-eukaryotic cell contact; cytokine profiling;

    Abstract : Many Gram negative bacteria use type III secretion systems to cross-talk with eukaryotic cells. Type III secretion system assembly and function is tightly regulated. READ MORE

  7. 5. Characterisation of surface traits of Helicobacter pylori and their role in the infectious process

    Author : Christoffer Petersson; Roland Möllby; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The surface appendages of bacteria determine the initial contact with host cells. Characterisation of functional organisation and spatial distribution of adhesive traits of outer membrane components of Gram-negative bacteria is a key issue in studies of the parasite-host cell interaction.
