   Abstract : Background Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) and in particular Staphylococcus epidermidis have emerged as major pathogens primarily causing nosocomial infections in patients with indwelling medical devices. These infections are often caused by multidrug-resistant strains of S. epidermidis (MDRSE). READ MORE

5. 13. Perinatal Staphylococcus epidermidis infection and the immature brain: a neuroinflammatory link

   Author : Giacomo Gravina; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; S. epidermidis; neonatal brain injury; hypoxia-ischemia; microglia; neuroinflammation; S. epidermidis; neonatal brain injury; hypoxia-ischemia; microglia; neuroinflammation;

   Abstract : Preterm birth and its associated complications are among the most serious global health issues that modern society faces. Due to the prolonged medical care and immature immune system, preterm infants have a higher susceptibility to infections, which puts them at a higher risk of developing neurological impairments as well as neurodevelopmental diseases.

6. 14. Origin of intraradicular infection with Enterococcus faecalis in endodontically treated teeth

   Author : Roberto Vidana; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The reported prevalence of Enterococcus faecalis, both a commensal of the gastro-intestinal tract and a common nosocomial pathogen, ranges from 24% to 77% in post-treatment root canal infections. To date it has not been possible to explain this prevalence, since its origin remains unknown. READ MORE

7. 15. Ventilator-associated sinusitis : a clinical investigation into the inflammatory response : reactive – infective – infectious?

   Author : Viveka Westergren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : nosocomial sinusitis; infection; inflammation; bacteriology; cytokines; critically ill patients;

   Abstract : Critically ill mechanically ventilated patients regularly have inflammatory reactions in the paranasal sinuses. Infectious sinusitis, which is difficult to diagnose, may occur, mainly in the maxillary sinuses. This study was performed with the object of improving the knowledge of inflammatory and/or infectious disease. READ MORE
