Host and pathogen genetics associated with pneumococcal meningitis
… applied this method to longitudinal samples from asymptomatic carriage, and found lineages and specific variants associated with altered duration of carriage. To assess meningitis versus carriage samples I applied similar analysis techniques, and found that the bacterial genome is crucial in …

Virulence gene expression of three hypervirulent S. pyogenes M1T1 and membrane vesicles isolation
… tremendous. Interactions with humans range from asymptomatic carriage over mild and superficial infections of skin and mucosal membranes up to systemic purulent toxic-invasive disease manifestations [Fiedler T et al., 2015]. Simultaneously with the study of S.salivarius 24SMBc, my PhD project …

Novel molecular markers of disease-association among strains of Streptococcus suis: a genomic approach
… As a result, the detection of S. suis in asymptomatic swine herds is of little practical value in predicting the likelihood of future clinical relevance. This thesis aims to further understanding of the role the S. suis genome has in pathogenesis. The value of future surveillance and …

Exploring the Population Structure, Recombination Landscape, and Pan-Genome of the Global Neisseria meningitidis Population
… pneumonia worldwide. Infections are typically asymptomatic carriage, but those which cause disease are extremely difficult to treat, leading to a high case-fatality rate. As such, there is considerable interest in studying N. meningitidis to understand its spread, what causes development from …

Clostridium difficile: expression of virulence factors, resistance to disinfectants and interactions with human cells
… virulence and a broad spectrum of disease from asymptomatic carriage and mild infection to severe pseudomembranous colitis have been observed. The main aim of this three-part thesis was to identify bacterial factors that might explain these variations by comparing five C. difficile strains - …
