  2. 1. Staphylococcus aureus : aspects of pathogenesis and molecular epidemiology

    Author : Lisa Stark; Per-Eric Lindgren; Sture Löfgren; Erik Kihlström; Jan Strindhall; Andreas Matussek; Johanna Ericson Sollid; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus is a human commensal colonizing about 30 per cent of the population. Besides, it is a frequent cause of infections such as skin, wound and deep tissue infections and also more life-threatening conditions such as pneumonia, endocarditis and septicaemia. S. aureus may also cause different toxicoses. READ MORE

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections remain a major challenge for the healthcare system, and new treatment options are highly demanded. S. aureus is a pathogenic microorganism, responsible for a broad range of clinical infections in humans. READ MORE

  5. 3. Biologics in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis

    Author : Abukar Ali; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Staphylococcus aureus; CTLA4-Ig; IL-1 Ra; anti-TNF therapy; mouse; septic arthritis;

    Abstract : The emergence of new type of drugs known as biologics has led to rapid disease improvements in many autoimmune arthritic patients. Nevertheless, most of these biologics are immunomodulators that may consequently increase the susceptibility of patients towards infections, such as septic arthritis. READ MORE

  6. 4. The impact of Staphylococcus aureus surface proteins on virulence

    Author : Niklas Palmqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Staphylococcus aureus; septic arthritis; sepsis; virulence; cell wall-anchored proteins; surface proteins; fibrinogen.;

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen in humans with the potential to cause life-threatening invasive infections, including sepsis and septic arthritis. The pathogenicity of S. aureus depends on the expression of a variety of virulence factors. READ MORE

  7. 5. On Fusidic Acid Resistance in Staphylococcus Aureus

    Author : Tobias Norström; Diarmaid P. Hughes; Bruce R. Levin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Microbiology; S. aureus; SCV; fusidic acid; FusE; Mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : Controlling bacterial infections with antibiotics is central to modern health care. However, increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics threatens effective therapy. This thesis concerns the use of the antibiotic fusidic acid, and novel analogues of fusidic acid, to treat topical infections caused by the bacterial pathogen Staphylococcu aureus. READ MORE
