  1. 1. Towards an understanding of the Retraction of TYPE IV PILI as a Mechanoresponse upon surface contact in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Antoine Loussouarn; [2022]
    Keywords : Mechanosensing; Microscopy; Bacteria; Microfabrication; Genetics; Molecular Biology; Biophysics;

    Abstract : Pseudomonas Aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterium which is involved in nosocomial infections and which causes increasing concern in healthcare due to its high antibiotic resistance. During an infection by P.aeruginosa, the bacteria proliferate in the host’s organism by leveraging motility abilities. READ MORE

  3. 2. Phenotypic Characterization of hns mutants of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Tandläkarutbildning

    Author : Malin Frostell-Birge; Mia Skocic; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is associated with aggressive forms of periodontitis. The mechanisms that control the expression of virulence factors are essentially unknown. Histone-like nucleoid structuring protein, H-NS, is a DNA binding protein that has been shown to influence hundreds of genes in Gram-negative bacteria. READ MORE

  5. 4. Bacterial growth models

    University essay from KTH/Teoretisk fysik

    Author : Oskar Palm; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis the growth patterns of certain bacterial colonies are studied through numerical simulations of a continuous model, describing the growth of the colony. The objective was to construct a mathematical model capable of recreating observed growth patterns and thus try to gain some insight into the dynamics of bacterial growth. READ MORE

  6. 5. Characterization of the Bacterial Pili Colonization Factor Antigen I by Optical Tweezers

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Mats Svantesson; [2008]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis the colonization factor antigen I (CFA/I) of the enterotoxicogenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is characterized biophysically with an optical tweezers. ETEC is the causative agent of travellers’ diarrhoea. READ MORE
