Jaillon S, Moalli F, Ragnarsdottir B, Bonavita E, Puthia M, Riva F, et al.
Immunity
. 2014 Apr;
40(4):621-32.
PMID: 24745336
Immunity in the urinary tract has distinct and poorly understood pathophysiological characteristics and urinary tract infections (UTIs) are important causes of morbidity and mortality. We investigated the role of the...

Lutay N, Ambite I, Gronberg Hernandez J, Rydstrom G, Ragnarsdottir B, Puthia M, et al.
J Clin Invest
. 2013 Jun;
123(6):2366-79.
PMID: 23728172
The normal flora furnishes the host with ecological barriers that prevent pathogen attack while maintaining tissue homeostasis. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) constitute a highly relevant model of microbial adaptation in...

Pediatr Nephrol
. 2012 Feb;
27(11):2017-2029.
PMID: 22327887
Our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of urinary tract infection (UTI) pathogenesis has advanced greatly in recent years. In this review, we provide a general background of UTI pathogenesis, followed...

Ragnarsdottir B, Lutay N, Gronberg-Hernandez J, Koves B, Svanborg C
Nat Rev Urol
. 2011 Jul;
8(8):449-68.
PMID: 21750501
A functional and well-balanced immune response is required to resist most infections. Slight dysfunctions in innate immunity can turn the 'friendly' host defense into an unpleasant foe and give rise...

Fischer H, Lutay N, Ragnarsdottir B, Yadav M, Jonsson K, Urbano A, et al.
PLoS Pathog
. 2010 Oct;
6(9):e1001109.
PMID: 20886096
The mucosal immune system identifies and fights invading pathogens, while allowing non-pathogenic organisms to persist. Mechanisms of pathogen/non-pathogen discrimination are poorly understood, as is the contribution of human genetic variation...

Zdziarski J, Brzuszkiewicz E, Wullt B, Liesegang H, Biran D, Voigt B, et al.
PLoS Pathog
. 2010 Sep;
6(8):e1001078.
PMID: 20865122
Bacteria lose or gain genetic material and through selection, new variants become fixed in the population. Here we provide the first, genome-wide example of a single bacterial strain's evolution in...

Ragnarsdottir B, Jonsson K, Urbano A, Gronberg-Hernandez J, Lutay N, Tammi M, et al.
PLoS One
. 2010 May;
5(5):e10734.
PMID: 20505764
Background: Polymorphisms affecting Toll-like receptor (TLR) structure appear to be rare, as would be expected due to their essential coordinator role in innate immunity. Here, we assess variation in TLR4...

Lundstedt A, McCarthy S, Gustafsson M, Godaly G, Jodal U, Karpman D, et al.
PLoS One
. 2007 Sep;
2(9):e825.
PMID: 17786197
Background: For unknown reasons, urinary tract infections (UTIs) are clustered in certain individuals. Here we propose a novel, genetically determined cause of susceptibility to acute pyelonephritis, which is the most...

Ragnarsdottir B, Samuelsson M, Gustafsson M, Leijonhufvud I, Karpman D, Svanborg C
J Infect Dis
. 2007 Jun;
196(3):475-84.
PMID: 17597463
Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 is essential for the defense against infection with gram-negative pathogens, but reduced TLR4 expression has not been linked to altered disease susceptibility in humans. In mice,...

Lundstedt A, Leijonhufvud I, Ragnarsdottir B, Karpman D, Andersson B, Svanborg C
J Infect Dis
. 2007 Mar;
195(8):1227-34.
PMID: 17357062
Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are important causes of morbidity and death. The present study investigated whether genetic factors influence susceptibility to acute pyelonephritis (APN). CXCR1 expression was investigated as...
