  1. 16. Lactobacillus characterization and effects on oral biofilm composition

    Författare :Nelly Romani Vestman; Ingegerd Johansson; Jukka Meurman; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lactobacillus; L. gasseri; probiotic traits; oral biofilm; breastfeeding; oral microbiota; odontologi; Odontology;

    Sammanfattning : The human body is home for millions of bacteria. The largest microbial community is located in the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract, including the oral cavity with >700 identified taxa. Lactobacillus, which is normal inhabitant of the GI tract, contributes to health by possible biofilm and immune modulation. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Invasive haemophilus influenzae infection. Clinical, immunologic and pathogenic aspects

    Författare :Svante Hugosson; Sweden Gothenburg University of Gothenburg; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Haemophilus influenzae; epidemiology; mortality; vaccination; epiglottitis; meningitis; hearing loss; neuropsychology immunology; physiopathology; adhesion;

    Sammanfattning : Invasive Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) infection, predominantly manifested as acute meningitis and epiglottitis, is a serious disease with associated mortality and residual handicap. Prevention of the disease is possible by vaccination against Hi serotype b (Hib). LÄS MER

  4. 18. Optimisation of diagnostic PCR a study of PCR inhibitors in blood and sample pretreatment

    Författare :Waleed Abu Al-Soud; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mycology; virology; bacteriology; Microbiology; AmpliTaq Gold; Amplification facilitators; Betaine; Blood culture medium; Blood; BSA; cheese; faeces; gp32; Haemoglobin; Ions; Immunoglobulin G; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Sammanfattning : PCR is widely employed as a rapid, sensitive and specific molecular diagnostic technique in clinical diagnosis, environmental investigations and for monitoring biotechnical processes. However, the full potential of diagnostic PCR is limited, in part, by the presence of PCR-inhibitory substances in biological samples. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Eosinophilic dermatosis implications of skin-commensal bacteria and antimicrobial peptides and proteins at birth

    Författare :Annika Nelson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : At birth, the newborn infant is transferred from a sterile life in utero to an earthly life in coexistence with microbes. This transition includes the potential danger of a microbial invasion through the epithelial linings, and the infant must find a balance between elimination of harmful pathogens and cooperation with microorganisms that are of benefit.

  7. 20. Antibiotic Resistance and Fitness of Escherichia coli in the Infantile Commensal Microbiota

    Författare :Nahid Karami; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ampicillin; tetracycline; in vivo fitness; persistence; gene transfer; intestinal; blaTEM Escherichia coli;

    Sammanfattning : Microbial resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem worldwide. Resistance develops not only in microbes which are the targets of the antibiotic treatment, but also in those belonging to the normal microbiota of the treated host. Little is known on the ecological consequences of antibiotic resistance in commensal bacteria. LÄS MER
