  2. 1. Molecular analysis of transcription factors in uropathogenic E. coli adhesin operons

    Author : Stina Lindberg; Bernt Eric Uhlin; Åsa Sjöling; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; UPEC; E. coli; F1C; P fimbriae; cross-talk; FocB; PapB; crystal structure; OMVs; Medical microbiology; Medicinsk mikrobiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : The main causative agent of human urinary tract infections is the uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) pathotype. It may cause disease due to its ability to express a number of bacterial virulence factors. Fimbrial adhesins are particularly important for the initial establishment of infection in the urinary tract. READ MORE

  4. 2. The physiological and microbiological response to renal UPEC infection

    Author : Keira Melican; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The pathological outcome of a bacterial infection depends on the interplay between the host s defences and the virulence arsenal of the pathogen. Appreciation of this interplay is crucial to the understanding of pathogenesis and the development of efficient clinical treatments. READ MORE

  5. 3. Uropathogenic Esherichia coli, multidrug-resistance and induction of host defense mechanisms

    Author : Isak Demirel; Katarina Persson; Robert Kruse; Mirjana Poljakovic; Gabriela Godaly; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urinary tract infection; uropathogenic Escherichia coli; suppressor of cytokine signalling 3; nitric oxide; cytokines; extended-spectrum beta-lactamases; filamentation; IL-6; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

    Abstract : Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is the primary cause of urinary tract infection (UTI), which is one of the most common infections in humans. UPEC strains have acquired successful strategies to subvert the host defense and antibiotics to persist in the urinary tract. READ MORE

  6. 4. The role of caspase-1, caspase-4, NLRP3 and IL-1RA in bladder epithelial cells infected by uropathogenic Escherichia coli

    Author : Anna Lindblad; Isak Demirel; Manisha Yadav; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urinary tract infection; inflammasome; uropathogenic Escherichia coli; NLRP3; caspase-1; caspase-4; IL-1RA; antimicrobial peptides; estrogen;

    Abstract : Urinary tract infection is one of the most common infections and is mostlycaused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). The inflammasomeassociatedproteins caspase-1, caspase-4 and NLRP3 are essential in the hostcell response during urinary tract infection by regulating IL-1β release. READ MORE

  7. 5. Carbon monoxide and nitric oxide as antimicrobial agents : focus on ESBL-producing uropathogenic E.coli

    Author : Charlotte Sahlberg Bang; Katarina Persson; Bo Söderquist; Annelie Brauner; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; biofilm; carbon monoxide; CORM-2; DETA NO; extendedspectrum beta-lactamases; nitric oxide; urinary tract infection; uropathogenic Escherichia coli; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

    Abstract : Urinary tract infections (UTI) are common in humans and most often caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli). Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli are increasing worldwide and they are frequently multidrug-resistant with limited treatment options. READ MORE
