  2. 16. Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli : multidrug-resistance and different aspects of invasive infections

    Author : Malin Vading; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli are pathogens belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. They can cause infections ranging from uncomplicated urinary tract infection to severe bloodstream infection (BSI). READ MORE

  4. 17. The mechanics of adhesion polymers and their role in bacterial attachment

    Author : Johan Zakrisson; Magnus Andersson; Ramser Kerstin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pili; optical tweezers; bacterial adhesion; fimbriae; uncoiling;

    Abstract : Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is increasing at a high rate in both developing and developed countries. To circumvent the problem of drug-resistant bacterial pathogens, we need to develop new effective methods, substances, and materials that can disarm and prevent them from causing infections.

  5. 18. Cellular mechanisms of interaction between uropathogenic Escherichia coli and renal epithelial cells

    Author : Åsa Laestadius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Urinary tract infections will often, particularly in children, lead to renal scar formation or hypoplastic small kidneys post-infectiously. The most common causative agent is uropathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli). READ MORE

  6. 19. Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing enterobacteriaceae : epidemiology and dynamics of fecal carriage

    Author : Emilia Titelman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE) has become a major cause of community acquired urinary tract infection (UTI), and fecal carriage of EPE is emerging worldwide. The aims of this thesis were to study the molecular epidemiology of ESBL-enzymes in Stockholm (I) to evaluate treatment alternatives to the carbapenems for EPE (I-III), and to study the duration of fecal carriage and identify factors associated with prolonged carriage (IV).
