  2. 11. Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles. Mediators of virulence and antibiotic resistance

    Author : Viveka Schaar; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antibiotic resistance; Moraxella catarrhalis; epithelial cells; beta-lactamase; non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae; outer membrane vesicles; polymicrobial infections; UspA1;

    Abstract : Outer membrane vesicles (OMV) have the size of nanoparticles and are released from the outer membrane of most Gram-negative bacteria. The OMV reflect the composition of the bacterial outer membrane, including lipids and virulence factors specific for the pathogen, and are involved in pathogenesis and bacterial survival. READ MORE

  4. 12. Bacteriological aspects of treatment failures in streptococcal tonsillitis

    Author : Eva Grahn; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ß-streptococci; treatment failure; a-streptococci; bacterial interference; beta-lactamase; Phenoxymethylpenicillin; penicillin tolerance;

    Abstract : ß-hemolytic streptococci persist in 10-25% of patients with acute streptococal tonsillitis (about 10.000-25.000 per year in Sweden) in spite of treatment with a recommended dosage and schedule of Phenoxymethylpenicillin. READ MORE

  5. 13. Host-Pathogen Interactions in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Invasive and Respiratory Tract Infection

    Author : Magnus Paulsson; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; vitronectin; Respiratory tract infections; Innate Immunity; outer membrane vesicles; outer membrane proteins; beta-lactamase; ciprofloxacin; combination treatment; bacteraemia; Complement escape;

    Abstract : Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium that causes debilitating infections when the immune defence is compromised. It possesses an arsenal of virulence traits to colonize most compartments of the body and is often highly resistant against commonly used antimicrobial drugs. READ MORE

  6. 14. Recurrent infection with Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) -producing Enterobacteriaceae

    Author : Anna Lindblom; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ESBL; E. coli; recurrent infection; UTI; AMR; phylogroup; fimH30Rx;

    Abstract : Infections with Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE) are increasing globally. The most common EPE are the gut pathogens Escherichia coli (ESBL-E. coli) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (ESBL-K. pneumoniae). READ MORE

  7. 15. On bacterial formats in protein library technology

    Author : Per-Åke Löfdahl; Per-Åke Nygren; Mikael Widersten; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Affibody molecule; β-lactamase; combinatorial library; green fluorescent protein GFP ; protein engineering; protein fragment complementation assay PCA ; selection; TEVprotease; TNF-α; Bioengineering; Bioteknik; Enzyme engineering; Enzymteknik;

    Abstract : Millions of years of evolution have resulted in an immense number of different proteins, which participate in virtually every process within cells and thus are of utmost importance for allknown forms of life. In addition, there are several examples of natural proteins which have found use in applications outside their natural environment, such as the use of enzymes infood industry and washing powders or the use of antibodies in diagnostic, bioseparation or therapeutic applications.
