2. 1. Group B streptococci and other neonatal infections

   Author : Elisabet Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Neonatal infections; sepsis; incidence; ; Group B streptococcus; ; serotype; ; epidemiology; ; genotype; ; surface protein; ; antibiotic susceptibility;

   Abstract : The main objectives of this thesis were to estimate the incidence and etiology of invasive infections in neonates and to characterize invasive strains of group B streptococci from a defined geographic area. All infants aged 0-120 days with a bacterial or fungal isolate from blood or CSF in the defined area were identified. READ MORE

4. 2. Tissue tropism among group A streptococci - importance of bacteria associated proteolytic activity

   Author : Mikael Dag Svensson; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cysteine protease; plasminogen; M protein; Streptococcus pyogenes; tissue tropism; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

   Abstract : Group A streptococcus (GAS) is one of the most common of bacterial pathogens infecting humans, frequently causing throat and skin infection. Some GAS strains have surface-expressed virulence factors called M proteins that bind human plasminogen with high affinity. READ MORE

5. 3. Clinical and molecular studies of β-haemolytic streptococci

   Author : Kristina Trell; Infektionsmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Beta-hemolytic streptococci; Streptococcus dysgalactiae; MALDI-TOF MS analysis; Streptococcus equi; Streptococcus pyogenes; endometritis; Erysipelas;

   Abstract : Beta-haemolytic streptococci (BHS) are important causes of human infections and they have traditionally been grouped according to Lancefield antigens. The spectrum of infections caused by BHS includes pharyngitis, skin infections, bacteraemia/sepsis, endocarditis, septic arthritis and meningitis. READ MORE

6. 4. Interactions between β-haemolytic streptococci and the human host. Heart, skin and beyond

   Author : Anna Bläckberg; Infektionsmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; β-haemolytic streptococci; Streptococcus dysgalactiae; Streptococcus pyogenes; Erysipelas; Infective endocarditis; Antibiotic synergy; Bacteraemia; Time to positivity;

   Abstract : Group C and G streptococci (GCS/GGS) and group A streptococci (GAS) belong to β-haemolytic streptococci (BHS). GCS/GGS can further be species determined to S. dysgalactiae, whereas S. pyogenes are GAS. READ MORE

7. 5. Engineering of small IgG binding domains for antibody labelling and purification

   Author : Sara Kanje; Sophia Hober; Cecília Roque; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibody; labelling; purification; Protein G; Protein A; protein engineering; protein design; combinatorial selection; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

   Abstract : In protein engineering, rational design and selection from combinatorial libraries are methods used to develop proteins with new or improved features. A very important protein for the biological sciences is the antibody that is used as a detecting agent in numerous laboratory assays. READ MORE
