   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; alkaline phosphatase; mucosal bacterial growth; Helicobacter pylori; morphology; upper gastrointestinal endoscopy; chronic alcoholics; upper gastrointestinal tract; gamma-glutamyl transferase; neuropeptides.; Gastro-enterology; Gastroenterologi;

   Abstract : Background: Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dyspepsia, diarrhoea, and nausea are often seen in alcoholics. The causes are not clear. The stomach and upper small intestine are exposed to high alcohol concentrations. READ MORE

4. 2. Influence of host and bacterial factors during Neisseria meningitidis colonization

   Author : Sara Sigurlásdóttir; Ann-Beth Jonsson; Ute Römling; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neisseria meningitidis; Colonization; Host-bacteria interactions; Lactate; Biofilms; Polynucleotide phosphorylase; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

   Abstract : The human-restricted pathogen Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of bacterial meningitis and sepsis worldwide. Colonization of the mucosal layer in the upper respiratory tract is essential to establish an asymptomatic carrier state and invasive disease. N. READ MORE

5. 3. Novel approaches to mucosal vaccine development Strategies in vaccine antigen production, construction of a novel mucosal adjuvant and studies of its mode of action

   Author : Manuela Terrinoni; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vaccine development; plasmid maintenance; Gram-negative bacteria; ; essential genes; complementation; Cholera Toxin; adjuvanticity; NF-kB; mmCT; Gram-negative bacteria;

   Abstract : Although most infections begin at a mucosal surface and may be prevented by effective vaccine stimulation of the local mucosal immune system, there are so far only a few mucosal vaccines available for human use. This thesis spans several areas that are important for future development of mucosal vaccines. READ MORE

6. 4. Vaginal commensal bacteria. Interactions with cervix epithelial and monocytic cells and influence on cytokines and secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor, SLPI

   Author : Louise Strömbeck; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Prevotella bivia; bacterial vaginosis BV ; invasion; Lactobacillus; secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor SLPI ; cytokines; THP-1; HeLa cells;

   Abstract : Vaginal commensal bacteria Interactions with cervix epithelial and monocytic cells and influence on cytokines and secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor, SLPI Louise Strömbeck Department of Infectious Medicine, Gothenburg University Abstract Lactobacillus is the predominant species of the vaginal microbiota in women of childbearing age. Lactobacilli are thought to contribute to the local immune defence by producing a variety of antimicrobial substances and, thereby, attenuate growth of other opportunistic bacteria. READ MORE

7. 5. On extrinsic and intrinsic organizational themes in gram negative bacteria and their role in evolution and virulence of the bacterial genus Salmonella spp

   Author : Anders Folkesson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Salmonella; fimbriae; evolution; cell wall; peptidoglycan;

   Abstract : Gram-negative bacteria are composed of intrinsic organizational themes such as outer and inner membrane, cell wall, and replicons. Themes that not only determine the body-plan and physical properties but also set the boundaries for choice of life style and evolution of the organisms. READ MORE
