  2. 1. Studies on colonization and infection with Staphylococcus aureus and other microbes in skin disease

    Author : Mikael Alsterholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; balanoposthitis; microbes; Staphylococcus aureus; Candida; Malassezia; fusidic acid; fusidic acid-resistant S. aureus; impetigo; atopic dermatitis; azoles; clioquinol; halquinol; hydrogen peroxide; skin infection;

    Abstract : The skin is colonized with a wide range of microbes. Some offer vital protection from colonization and infection with pathogenic strains while others have the capacity to cause or exacerbate disease. 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. The streptococcal IgG degrading enzyme IdeS : studies on host-pathogen interactions

    Author : Jenny Johansson Söderberg; Ulrich von Pawel-Rammingen; Jan Ingemar Flock; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; streptococcus pyogenes; IdeS; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : The important human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes causes both mild infections such as pharyngitis and impetigo but also severe life threatening invasive infections.  Specific antibodies (IgG) recognize pathogens and are important mediators for pathogen clearance by the immune defence. S. READ MORE

  6. 4. Protein FOG at the interface between G streptococci and human host defence lines

    Author : Helena Linge; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; M protein; adhesion; streptococcal;

    Abstract : Group G streptococci (GGS) may be of four different species and may infect humans and also animals. S. dysgalactiae equisimilis most commonly cause human GGS infections. These bacteria are part of the normal flora, but can cause pharyngitis, erysipelas and impetigo. READ MORE

  7. 5. Streptococcal and staphylococcal tissue infections : therapeutic challenges and opportunities

    Author : Helena Bergsten; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus have been leading causes of human infections throughout history. S. pyogenes is of the top-ten pathogens responsible for most death globally, 0.5 million deaths per year. READ MORE
