1. Serological classification and genetic characterization of clinical isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Abstract : Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the etiologic agent of gonorrhoea, one of the oldest and most widespread of human infections. The development of methods to characterize the bacterium is of central importance in the control of the disease. One aim of this thesis was to evaluate serotyping of N. READ MORE

2. Characterization of surface components of Moraxella catarrhalis and pathogenic Neisseria
Abstract : Infection is a multistep process including adhesion, colonisation, invasion and multiplication which finally results in disease. Bacterial surface components and virulence factors are essential for all these different steps and they are co-ordinately regulated during the different steps of pathogenesis and infection. READ MORE

3. Molecular studies of Neisseria : host cell interactions
Abstract : The Neisseria family includes many non-pathogenic species but also two strict human pathogens; Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis. Both organisms colonise mucosal surfaces and may cause disseminated infections upon passage of the epithelial barrier. READ MORE

4. Molecular and cellular mechanisms during adherence and cell signaling of pathogenic Neisseria to host cells
Abstract : The pathogenic members of the genus Neisseria include N. gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis. Both organisms are obligate human pathogens that colonize mucosal surfaces. READ MORE

5. Identification of new virulence factors in Francisella tularensis
Abstract : Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, is a highly virulent bacterium with an infection dose of less than ten bacteria. The ability of a pathogen to cause infection relies on different virulence mechanisms, but in Francisella tularensis relatively few virulence factors are known. Two F. READ MORE
