Drasbek M, Christiansen G, Drasbek K, Holm A, Birkelund S
Microbiology (Reading) . 2007 Nov; 153(Pt 11):3791-3799. PMID: 17975088
The human pathogen Mycoplasma pneumoniae can cause atypical pneumonia through adherence to epithelial cells in the respiratory tract. The major immunogenic protein, P1, participates in the attachment of the bacteria...

Hum Reprod . 2006 Feb; 21(6):1533-8. PMID: 16478761
Background: To evaluate the role of Chlamydia trachomatis-induced humoral and cell-mediated immune (CMI) responses in predicting tubal factor infertility (TFI). Methods: Blood samples were taken from 88 women with TFI...

Sogaard I, Boesen T, Mygind T, Melkova R, Birkelund S, Christiansen G, et al.
Infect Genet Evol . 2003 Jun; 1(4):277-85. PMID: 12798006
Mycoplasma hominis has been previously described as a heterogeneous species, and in the present study intraspecies diversity of 20 M. hominis isolates from different individuals was analyzed using parts of...

Christiansen G, Dittmann E, Via Ordorika L, Rippka R, Herdman M, Borner T
Arch Microbiol . 2001 Dec; 176(6):452-8. PMID: 11734889
Previous studies largely carried out with environmental samples or axenic and non-axenic cultures suggested that cyanobacteria may be a rich source of hitherto unexplored bioactive compounds. This has been confirmed...

Boesen T, Fedosova N, Kjeldgaard M, Birkelund S, Christiansen G
Protein Sci . 2001 Nov; 10(12):2577-86. PMID: 11714926
The variable adherence-associated (Vaa) adhesin of the opportunistic human pathogen Mycoplasma hominis is a surface-exposed, membrane-associated protein involved in the attachment of the bacterium to host cells. The molecular masses...

Daugaard L, Christiansen G, Birkelund S
FEMS Microbiol Lett . 2001 Oct; 203(2):241-8. PMID: 11583855
Chlamydophila pneumoniae displays surprisingly little genomic variation, as seen by comparisons of the published genomes from three different isolates and sequencing of four different genes from different isolates. We have...

Pedersen A, Christiansen G, Birkelund S
FEMS Microbiol Lett . 2001 Oct; 203(2):153-9. PMID: 11583841
The complete genome of Chlamydia pneumoniae contains a total of 21 genes encoding polymorphic membrane proteins (Pmp). From this large Pmp family three genes, pmp8, pmp10 and pmp11, were cloned...
