  1. 1. Bacteria in the vagina during the estrous cycle in mares

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Författare :Timjan Åkerholm; [2023]
    Nyckelord :artificial insemination; bacteriology; breeding; embryo transfer; equine reproduction; estrous cycle; ovulation; stud farm; vagina;

    Sammanfattning : An understanding of the normal bacterial flora of any organ is essential to provide the background to conditions and interventions that might cause the flora to change. In the vagina of the mare, a change of bacterial flora could be induced by introduction of semen, treatment with antibiotics, backflow from an unhealthy uterus etc. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Antibiotic consumption was associated with higher abundance of gut microbiota species previously linked to coronary atherosclerosis in the population-based SCAPIS cohort

    Magister-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Tiscar Graells Fernandez; [2023]
    Nyckelord :bioinformatics; microbiome; gut; subclinical coronary atherosclerosis;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The human gut microbiota is the complex microbial community that lives in our gut. The gut microbiota has a key role in health and disease and its disruption has been linked to several chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Characterization of Antigenic Properties of Two Immunogenic Proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae 

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Författare :Mawj Jasimalsalih; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Immunogenic Proteins; PrsA; MalX; Membrane Vesicles; Protein Properties; Streptococcus pneumoniae virulence factors;

    Sammanfattning : The bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus), is considered to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, particularly in infants and the elderly. It is one of the most frequent causes of respiratory tract infections, which sporadically have the potential to develop into serious invasive symptoms including sepsis and meningitis. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Characterization of Mitilysin Pores by Cryo-electron Microscopy

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Vladimir Novakovic; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Mitilysin; Mly; Structural Biology; Cryo-EM; pore; toxin; pore forming proteins; pore forming toxins; PFP; PFT;

    Sammanfattning : Pore forming toxins (PFTs) are a large group of proteins found mainly in bacteria with some exceptions found in animals. They bind and form pores in their target membranes and form pores, which leads to cell death. Among these are cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDC), which require the presence of cholesterol to bind target membranes. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Utvärdering av BioFire Joint Infection Panel för mikrobiologisk diagnostik av ledvätska

    Kandidat-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för kemi och biomedicin (KOB)

    Författare :Tilda Bengtsson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Synovial fluid; septic arthritis; multiplex PCR; FilmArray; BioFire Joint Infection Panel; Ledvätska; septisk artrit; multiplex PCR; FilmArray; BioFire Joint Infection Panel;

    Sammanfattning : En bakteriell ledinfektion kallas för septisk artrit och utan snabb behandling kan tillståndet leda till irreversibla ledskador och flera allvarliga komplikationer. Snabb diagnostik är viktigt för en god prognos och med nuvarande metod för odling av ledvätska tar det upp till fem dygn för detektion av mikroorganismer. LÄS MER
