1. 1. Characterization of Antigenic Properties of Two Immunogenic Proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae 

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

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

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

3. 2. Epidemiology and genotyping of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with amplicon-based Nanopore-sequencing : Creating a panel of clinically relevant genes

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

   Author : Max Koivistoinen Jonsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Amplicon-sequencing; Genomic typing; MRSA; MSSA; MinION;

   Abstract : Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a variant of the more common Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), an opportunistic pathogen a portion of the human population carries as normal bacterial flora. When an outbreak of MRSA occurs, it is often important to determine if and how these strains are related to each other. READ MORE

4. 3. Pseudomonas aeruginosa gene expression analysis using pangenome and PAO1 reference genomes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

   Author : Yi Su; [2023]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Development in sequencing technologies has made the analyses of genetic material much more accessible. Processing sequenced data for an accurate analysis comes with its challenges, especially with the studies in microbial in clinical in vivo samples where difficulties in the collection of these samples for sequencing could lower the quality and contamination from the human host which might affect the accuracy of downstream analysis.

5. 4. The battle against sepsis : exploring the genotypic diversity of pseudomonas and proteus clinical isolates

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Suud Ahmed; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Sepsis is a dangerous and potentially fatal condition that has a mysterious origin, underscoring the significance of prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment. Bacterial whole-genome sequencing, which is widely used in clinical microbiology, stands at the forefront of sequencing technologies, particularly to combat sepsis. READ MORE

6. 5. Is the Expression of Hemolysin Co-regulated Protein (Hcp) Associated with Serum Resistance in Aggregatibacter aphrophilus?

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Tandläkarutbildning

   Author : Clara Settlin; Selva Hot; [2023]
   Keywords : Aggregatibacter aphrophilus; hcp; T6SS; serum resistance;

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE
