  2. 21. Studies on bacterial transmission pathways in a high endemic area, with a focus on Helicobacter pylori

    Author : Anders Janzon; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : H. pylori; enterotoxigenic E. coli; V. cholerae; real-time PCR; transmission pathways; gastroenteritis; mouse infection models; bacterial gene expression;

    Abstract : Even though half of the world’s population is infected with Helicobacter pylori, which causes gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer, the transmission routes of these bacteria remain unknown despite extensive epidemiological studies. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Vibrio cholerae are two of the most common causes of acute watery diarrhea in developing countries. READ MORE

  4. 22. Helicobacter pylori infection and immunity. Protection after vaccination and regulation of inflammation in a mouse model

    Author : Sukanya Raghavan; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Helicobacter pylori; formalin-inactivated H. pylori; post-immunization gastritis; cholera toxin; CD4 CD25 regulatory T cells; CpG ODN;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori infection is an important cause of chronic active gastritis and peptic ulcer disease and a risk factor for the development of gastric cancer. An attractive strategy in the control of H. pylori infection is the development of a safe and effective therapeutic vaccine. Using a mouse model of H. READ MORE

  5. 23. Host-pathogen interactions during tick-borne flavivirus infection : pathogenesis, tropism and tools

    Author : Ebba Rosendal; Anna K. Överby Wernstedt; Emma Nilsson; Jonathan D. Gilthorpe; Sonja M. Best; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tick-borne encephalitis virus; Langat virus; pathogenesis; type I interferons; central nervous system; neuroinflammation; structural proteins; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a neurotropic member of the genus Flavivirus. It may transmit to humans through the bite of an infected tick or consumption of unpasteurized dairyproducts, and causes tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). TBE constitutes a significant health burden in Eurasia, with more than 10,000 cases reported every year. READ MORE

  6. 24. Macrophage programming and host responses to bacterial infection

    Author : Xiao Wang; Hong Sjölinder; Martin Rottenberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Macrophages; meningococci; mycobacteria; NhhA; CD46; cytokines; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : Macrophages are dynamic, plastic, and heterogeneous immune cells that play an important role in host immune defense against bacterial infection. Various bacterial pathogens, such as Neisseria meningitidis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, can modulate host immune responses by interfering with macrophage differentiation and polarization.

    Author : Sicheng Wen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : H. pylori infection affects more than half of the world’s population. The clinical consequences range from asymptomatic gastritis to peptic ulceration and gastric malignancy. H. READ MORE
