  1. 1. Investigation of the role of RNA-binding proteins in bacterial gene regulation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiologi och immunologi

    Author : Sophie Baars; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  3. 2. Next-generation diagnostics of escherichia coli from community-onset sepsis patients in sweden : Studying the biodiversity of escherichia coli genomes

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Nada Mahmoud; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Escherichia coli (E. coli) is among the gram-negative bacteria that can cause several infections including sepsis. Confirmed sepsis patients must show a sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score of ≥2 with verified infection. Understanding the genotypic characteristics of E. READ MORE

  4. 3. Quorum sensing och quorum quenching : bakteriers förmåga att kommunicera med varandra, och vägar att störa denna mekanism för att hämma infektion

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Moa Therése Viklund; [2019]
    Keywords : Quorum sensing; QS; quorum quenching; QQ; QSI; bakteriekommunikation; interspecies kommunikation; AI1; AI2; autoinducerare; homoserin lakton; AHL; AIP; antimikrobiell aktivitet; resistensutveckling;

    Abstract : Den här litteraturstudien syftar till att översiktligt förklara hur bakterier kommunicerar med varandra och att sammanfatta hur mekanismen kan hämmas, med syfte att minska bakteriers virulens och förmåga att manifestera infektion. Quorum sensing är bakteriers förmåga att kommunicera med varandra och ger dem möjligheten att uppvisa en form av multicellularitet. READ MORE

  5. 4. Interactions of Streptococcus equi and Mast Cells: In the Search of Virulence Factors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Christopher von Beek; [2018]
    Keywords : Streptococcus equi; Streptococcus; mast cells; infection; streptolysin; SLS;

    Abstract : Mast cells are key players of the innate immune system due to their location at the interface of host and pathogen encounters, such as on mucosal surfaces or the skin. Secreting a variety of compounds, they communicate with other immune cells in a highly specific manner. READ MORE

  6. 5. Investigating streptococcal biodiversity in sepsis using next-generation sequencing

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Daniel Shahbazi; [2018]
    Keywords : sepsis; streptococci; NGS; next-generation sequencing; pathogenfinder; plasmidfinder; speciesfinder; SPAdes; QUAST;

    Abstract : Sepsis is one of the leading causes for fatalities in the intensive care unit, and also one of the biggest health problems worldwide. It is a disease caused primarily by bacterial infections but can also be caused by viral or fungal infections. READ MORE
