  2. 6. Twin-arginine translocation in Yersinia : the substrates and their role in virulence

    Author : Ummehan Avican; Åke Forsberg; Åsa Sjöling; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; Tat; virulence; Tat substrates; SufI; stress response; metabolism; infection; transcriptome analysis; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Pathogenic Yersinia cause a manifold of diseases in humans ranging from mild gastroenteritis (Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica) to pneumonic and bubonic plague (Y. READ MORE

  4. 7. Identification of Virulence Factors in Nematode-Trapping Fungi - Insights from Genomics, Transcriptomics and Proteomics

    Author : Karl-Magnus Andersson; Biodiversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nematode-trapping fungi; comparative genomics; comparative transcriptomics; proteomics; virulence factors; parasitism;

    Abstract : Nematode-trapping fungi are soil-living organisms with the unique ability to capture and infect free-living nematodes. The interest in studying these fungi arises from their potential use as biological control agents for plant- and animal-parasitic nematodes. READ MORE

  5. 8. Studies of the pathogenesis of Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli infections: pathogen virulence factors and host response

    Author : Carla Calderon Toledo; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; host-pathogen; MyD88; TLRs; LEE; Shiga toxin; HUS; EHEC; EPEC; immune response; virulence factors;

    Abstract : Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is a highly virulent pathogen that can cause diarrhea and a life-threatening disease known as hemolytic uremic syndrome. EHEC possess an array of virulence factors that can exert severe consequences in the host. Shiga toxin constitutes a key virulence factor. READ MORE

  6. 9. Virulence factors and clonal relatedness of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) isolated from children with diarrhoea in Bolivia

    Author : Claudia Rodas Miranda; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli; Virulence factors; Bolivia; Children; Severity of disease; Relatedness;

    Abstract : Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is one of the major causes of diarrhoea in children under five years of age in developing countries and in travellers to these settings. To cause disease, ETEC must be able to colonize the small intestine and produce heat-stable enterotoxin (ST) or heat-labile toxin (LT) or both toxins. READ MORE

  7. 10. The impact of Staphylococcus aureus surface proteins on virulence

    Author : Niklas Palmqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Staphylococcus aureus; septic arthritis; sepsis; virulence; cell wall-anchored proteins; surface proteins; fibrinogen.;

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen in humans with the potential to cause life-threatening invasive infections, including sepsis and septic arthritis. The pathogenicity of S. aureus depends on the expression of a variety of virulence factors. READ MORE
