Capsule and fimbria interaction in Klebsiella pneumoniae (2005)

Schembri, Mark A., Blom, Jens, Krogfelt, Karen A., Klemm, Per

The capsular polysaccharide and type I fimbriae are two of the major surface-located virulence properties associated with the pathogenesis of Klebsiella pneumoniae. The capsule is an elaborate...

Effect of Cold Starvation, Acid Stress, and Nutrients on Metabolic Activity of Helicobacter pylori. (2002)

Nilsson, Hans-Olof, Blom, Jens, Al-Soud, Waleed Abu, Ljungh A, Asa, Andersen, Leif P, Wadström, Torkel

Helicobacter pylori can transform, in vivo as well as in vitro, from dividing spiral-shaped forms into nonculturable coccoids, with intermediate forms called U forms. The importance of nonculturable...

The antileishmanial activity of novel oxygenated chalcones and their mechanism of action (1999)

Zhai, Lin, Chen, Ming, Blom, Jens, Theander, Thor G., Christensen, Søren Brøgger, Kharazmi, Arsalan

Our previous studies have shown that licochalcone A, an oxygenated chalcone, has antileishmanial and antimalarial activities, and alters the ultrastructure and function of the mitochondria of...

The Dominant Epitope of Borrelia garinii Outer Surface Protein C Recognized by Sera from Patients with Neuroborreliosis Has a Surface-Exposed Conserved Structural Motif

Mathiesen, Marianne J., Holm, Arne, Christiansen, Michael, Blom, Jens, Hansen, Klaus, Østergaard, Søren, ...

Epitope mapping of outer surface protein C (OspC) by using sera from patients with neuroborreliosis led to the identification of one single major immunodominant epitope within the C-terminal 10 amino...

Relationship between Cell Surface Carbohydrates and Intrastrain Variation on Opsonophagocytosis of Streptococcus pneumoniae

Kim, Jean O., Romero-Steiner, Sandra, Sørensen, Uffe B. Skov, Blom, Jens, Carvalho, M., Barnard, S., ...

Streptococcus pneumoniae undergoes spontaneous phase variation between a transparent and an opaque colony phenotype, the latter being more virulent in a murine model of sepsis. Opaque pneumococci...

A Case of Helicobacter cinaedi Bacteraemia in a Previously Healthy Person with Cellulitis

Holst, Helle, Andresen, Keld, Blom, Jens, Højlyng, Niels, Kemp, Michael, Krogfelt, Karen Angeliki, ...

Helicobacter cinaedi is an infrequent, but well recognized cause of gastroenteritis in immunosuppressed patients. Here we report a case of an extra-intestinal infection in a previous healthy 61-year...

Intracellular Activity of Antibiotics against Staphylococcus aureus in a Mouse Peritonitis Model ▿

Sandberg, Anne, Hessler, Jonas H. R., Skov, Robert L., Blom, Jens, Frimodt-Møller, Niels

Antibiotic treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infections is often problematic due to the slow response to therapy and the high frequency of infection recurrence. The intracellular persistence of...
