1. Inducible nitric oxide synthase in experimental urinary tract infection
Abstract : Urinary tract infection (UTI) is among the most common bacterial infections in humans and the majority are caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli). Abundant evidence indicates that nitric oxide (NO) produced by the inducible NO synthase (iNOS) plays an important role in host defense against infection. READ MORE

2. Glycosphingolipid interactions of Helicobacter pylori and F1C-fimbriated Escherichia coli
Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate glycosphingolipid interactions of the human pathogens Helicobacter pylori and F1C-fimbriated uropathogenic Escherichia coli. Of particular interest were interactions of H. pylori to complex gangliosides, the role played by H. READ MORE

3. Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, EHEC.Microbiological diagnosis, characterisation and clinical bacteriological aspects
Abstract : Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) constitutes a group of E. coli that in the past two decades has been the cause of several outbreaks of gastrointestinal disease. The microorganism causes hemorrhagic colitis (HC) and haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) in 5-10% of the patients, 30% of the HUS patients develop remaining kidney injuries. READ MORE

4. Renal cell death in urinary tract infections : role of E. coli toxins
Abstract : Febrile urinary tract infections (UTI) are common bacterial illnesses in children. Several follow up studies have shown that 10-15 % of infants with pyelonephritis will develop permanent renal damage, i.e., renal scars, which in turn may lead to chronic diseases such as hypertension and renal insufficiency.

5. Studies on the Role of UDP-Glucose Dehydrogenase in Polysaccharide Biosynthesis
Abstract : Polysaccharides are found in all forms of life and serve diverse purposes. They are enzymatically synthesised from activated monosaccharide precursors, nucleotide sugars. One such nucleotide sugar is UDP-glucuronic acid, which is formed from UDP-glucose by the UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH) enzyme. READ MORE
