  2. 6. Intestinal cell kinetics : modulation caused by age, gender and microbial status in rats and mice : an experimental study in germfree, conventional, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Clostridium difficile monoassociated animals

    Author : Mahnaz Banasaz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Mammals living in symbiosis with microbes create conventional organisms. The interactions or cross-talks that continuously occur demonstrate how microbes may influence on series of parameters, including intestinal cell kinetics and mucosal morphology. READ MORE

  4. 7. Ecological impact of antibiotic treatment on human normal microflora

    Author : Mamun-Ur Rashid; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Ceftobiprole;

    Abstract : The skin and the mucosal surfaces of humans are colonized with microorganisms which are often referred as the normal microflora. There is a biological balance between the human host and the normal microflora in health. The extensive use of antibiotics in both humans and animals has caused the development of many resistant bacteria. READ MORE

  5. 8. Role of antimicrobial peptides in combating shigellosis and in antibiotic-associated diarrhea

    Author : Protim Sarker; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) constitute front-line components of innate immunity in multicellular organisms. AMPs are able to kill a wide range of pathogens and exhibit additional important functions such as chemotaxis, angiogenesis and wound healing. These peptides are constitutively expressed in immune and/or epithelial cells. READ MORE

  6. 9. Neonatal porcine diarrhoea : aspects on aetiology and pathology

    Author : Jenny Larsson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Diarrhoea in newborn piglets is an old but still relevant problem in pig production globally. During the last decades, reports from a number of countries describe problems with neonatal porcine diarrhoea (NPD) despite the use of previously effective preventive measures. READ MORE

  7. 10. Development and Evaluation of Tools to Explore Posttranslational HexNAc-Tyrosine and Mucin-Type O-Glycosylation

    Author : Sandra Behren; Ulrika Westerlind; Mikael Elofsson; Carmen Galan; Umeå universitet; []
