1. 11. Infections Related to the Use of Medical Devices and Changes in the Oropharyngeal Flora

   Författare :Hulda Thorarinsdottir; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; thrombosis; critical illness; biofilm; intratracheal intubation; ventilator-associated pneumonia; ; central venous catheters; catheter-related infections; proton pump inhibitors; oropharynx; MICROBIOTA; foreign-body reaction; hemolysis; inflammation;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Humans exist in mutualistic balance with a large range of microbiota. Illness and hospitalization can disturb this balance and contribute to hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), which occur most often in critically ill patients. LÄS MER

3. 12. Ecological aspects of antimicrobial susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria in Nicaragua

   Författare :Mercedes Cáceres; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Antimicrobial susceptibility; normal flora; anaerobic infections; B-lactamase; enterotoxigenic B. fragilis;

   Sammanfattning : Anaerobic bacteria are the predominant constituents of the normal flora on the skin and the mucous membranes of the human body. They may also act as potent pathogens in a variety of endogenous infections. Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing problem with anaerobic and aerobic bacteria. Different mechanisms for such resistance are known. LÄS MER

4. 13. Novel innate immune functions of saliva

   Författare :Tirthankar Mohanty; Infektionsmedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : The innate immune system in humans has succeeded in developing numerous mechanisms against the injurious effects of bacteria, along with their toxins as a result of several thousand years of co-evolution. The oral mucosal surface represents such a unique environment, where despite being constantly exposed to microbes and their products, overt infection and damage is a rarity. LÄS MER

5. 14. Gateway to the gut : alterations in saliva in inflammatory bowel disease

   Författare :Mirjam Majster; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which consists of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic immune-mediated disease thought to result from genetic and environmental interaction which influence the commensal flora to trigger an inappropriate mucosal immune response. IBD primarily affects the intestines but is not restricted to them. LÄS MER
