  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. An Overview Of The Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms Of Common Gram Positive And Gram Negative Multidrug Resistant Bacteria

    Kandidat-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

    Författare :Elisabeth Tammi; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Antibiotic resistance mechanism; gram negative bacteria; gram positive bacteria;

    Sammanfattning : Antibiotic resistance in multidrug resistant bacteria cause high mortality rates worldwide, where there has been over 1,000,000 deaths reported as of the year 2019. Antibiotics were thought to be the cure for fighting infectious diseases and preventing further spreading of infection. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Verifiering av mikrobuljongspädning med Sensititre™-paneler för MIC-bestämning av grampositiva kocker

    Kandidat-uppsats, Jönköping University/HHJ, Avd. för naturvetenskap och biomedicin

    Författare :Moa Bengtsson; Hanna Jacobsson; [2021]
    Nyckelord :antibiotic resistance; antimicrobial susceptibility testing; broth microdilution; Sensititre™; SEMSE7; SEMST7; antibiotikaresistens; resistensbestämning; mikrobuljongspädning; Sensititre™; SEMSE7; SEMST7;

    Sammanfattning : Resistensbestämningar som genererar ett kvantitativt MIC-värde är värdefullt för att kunna välja adekvat antibiotikabehandling. Referensmetoden för MIC-bestämning är mikrobuljongspädning där kommersiella antibiotikapaneler underlättar handhavandet av metoden på kliniska laboratorier. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Study of the Genetic Dynamics in Pan-genomes for Six Bacterial Species

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Författare :Jennifer Johansson; [2021]
    Nyckelord :pan-genome; core genome; accessory genome; genetic dynamics;

    Sammanfattning : Foodborne diseases are a growing health problem today and can be caused by eating food contaminated with bacteria. To monitor known foodborne diseases, institutions keep track of bacteria in surveillance projects. Whole genome sequencing is becoming the new standard method for comparing isolates, which generates large amounts of data. LÄS MER
