  2. 1. Survival of infectious agents and detection of their resistance and virulence factors

    Author : Eva Tano; Åsa Melhus; Jan Sjölin; Marie-Louise Danielsson-Tham; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Transportation system; swab; polymicrobial samples; Neisseria gonorrhoeae; bacteremia; exotoxins; Staphylococcus aureus; TSST-1; silver; silver resistance; wound dressing; sil genes; laundry; tumble drying; bacterial decontamination;

    Abstract : In the first study, three different transport systems for bacteria were evaluated. The CLSI M40-A guideline was used to monitor the maintenance of both mono- and polymicrobial samples during a simulated transportation at room temperature that lasted 0-48 h. READ MORE

    Author : Susanne Sütterlin; Åsa Melhus; Björn Olsen; Roland Möllby; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antimicrobial resistance; Silver resistance; Clinical Bacteriology; Klinisk bakteriologi;

    Abstract : Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has increased rapidly within recent years, and it has become a serious threat to public health. Infections caused by multi-drug resistant bacteria entail higher morbidity, mortality, and a burden to health care systems. READ MORE

  5. 3. Transcriptomic and taxonomic profiling of periodontitis by massively parallel sequencing

    Author : Anna Lundmark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Periodontitis is a microbial-induced, chronic inflammatory disease that affects tissue and bone anchoring the teeth, and can ultimately lead to tooth loss. In addition, periodontitis may contribute to systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and inflammatory bowel diseases. READ MORE

  6. 4. Multiple sclerosis : from genetic variants to biomarkers

    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common chronic autoimmune and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS). MS is a debilitating disease that affects young adults, especially females. Why we develop MS? Is thought to be a consequence of our genes and the environment. READ MORE

  7. 5. Polyneuropathy associated with monoclonal gammopathy : A clinical, neurophysiological and immunological study

    Author : Magnus Vrethem; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : This thesis is based upon clinical, neurophysiological, and immunological studies of polyneuropathy (symmetrical impairment of sensory and motor nerve function) in patients with monoclonal gammopathies, that is, patients characterized by proliferation of a plasma-cell clone secreting homogeneous immWloglobulins (M-component), which in some patients has serum antibody reactivity against peripheral nerve myelin.The prevalence of clinical polyneuropathy in patients with monoclonal gammopathy (n=3) was 36%, and the prevalence of all forms of polyneuropathy including patients with neurophysiological signs only andpatients with probable polyneuropathy (signs but no symptoms) was 58%.
