1. Characterization of Antigenic Properties of Two Immunogenic Proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologiSammanfattning : 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
2. Is the Expression of Hemolysin Co-regulated Protein (Hcp) Associated with Serum Resistance in Aggregatibacter aphrophilus?
Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/TandläkarutbildningSammanfattning : Abstract Aggregatibacter aphrophilus, a Gram negative bacterium, found in the oral cavity, causing cerebral abscesses and infective endocarditis, has been shown to be serum resistant in previous studies. Bacterial secretion systems are important for bacteria as they transfer virulence factors into other bacteria or host cells as an attack. A. LÄS MER
3. Lipoteichoic acid extraction from plasma : Chromatography techniques utilizing truncated derivates of antimicrobial peptides
Kandidat-uppsats, Malmö universitet/Institutionen för biomedicinsk vetenskap (BMV)Sammanfattning : With increasing incidence rates aligned with poor prognosis; sepsis represents one of the biggest challenges in modern health care. It is a multifactorial syndrome defined as organ dysfunction caused by disturbed systemic response to an infection. LÄS MER
4. Large-scale pan-genome analysis of Campylobacter jejuni : with a special focus on virulence factors in the accessory genome
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningSammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
5. Investigation of the role of RNA-binding proteins in bacterial gene regulation
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiologi och immunologiSammanfattning : Salmonella is a common food-borne, intracellular pathogen that causes infections in animals and humans. During infection of the host, flagella serve as important virulence factors that enable the bacterium to reach the site of infection and adhere to the host-cell. LÄS MER
