2. 1. Infections associated with percutaneous osseointegrated titanium implants for limb prostheses

   Author : Jonatan Tillander; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; osteomyelitis; osseointegration; percutaneous implant; titanium; amputation; long-term risk; clinical presentation; biofilm;

   Abstract : Femoral amputation is a devastating event. Percutaneous, bone anchored prosthetic systems reduce problems associated with socket suspended prostheses, but the design is inherently vulnerable to infection. READ MORE

4. 2. Adherence of Staphylococcus aureus in experimental endocarditis and osteomyelitis

   Author : Stefan A Hienz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus has persisted and is now resurging as an important hospital and community pathogen. The microorganism can cause a wide spectrum of diseases ranging from cutaneous infections to more specific infections such as osteomyelitis and infective endocarditis (IE). Infections of bone, or osteomyelitis, remain a clinical challenge. READ MORE

5. 3. Experimental implant-associated orthopaedic infections

   Author : Åke Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Osteomyelitis; anaerobic bacteria; implant design and material; bacterial collagen- and fibronectin-binding;

   Abstract : Although indispensable in today's medicine, orthopaedic implants may also cause adverse reactions. A foreign body increases the local susceptibility to colonisation by microorganisms, and hence the risk of infections. These infections are rare, but many result in prolonged or permanent impairment.

6. 4. On the pathogenesis of infections associated with percutaneous osseointegrated orthopaedic implants

   Author : Magdalena Zaborowska; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; osseointegration; amputation prosthesis; implant-associated infection; biofilm; staphylococci; extracellular vesicles; host defence; cytokines; cell death;

   Abstract : Orthopaedic implants enable the restitution of locomotor function and improve the quality of life of many people. However, biomaterial-associated infection may occur due to the propensity of microorganisms to adhere and colonize implant surfaces. READ MORE

7. 5. Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, molecular epidemiology and host immune response

   Author : Gunlög Rasmussen; Bo Söderquist; Kristoffer Strålin; Eva Särndahl; Peter Bergman; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Staphylococcus aureus; molecular epidemiology; DNAmicroarray; bacteremia; sepsis; NLRP3; inflammasome; caspase-1; HLA-DR; HLA-DRA; CD74;

   Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen responsible for a considerable disease burden worldwide. It may cause a wide array of infections, from superficial skin infections to invasive bacteremia and complications such as infective endocarditis (IE) and osteomyelitis. This thesis aimed to investigate aspects of the molecular epidemiology of S. READ MORE
