  2. 1. Modulation of cellular innate immune responses by lactobacilli

    Author : Mattias Karlsson; Jana Jass; Robert Brummer; Gilbert Donders; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cytokines; immunomodulation; lactobacilli; probiotics; urinary tract infections; urothelium; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Lactobacillus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria frequently used as healthpromoting probiotics. Using probiotics to treat or prevent infections is a novel experimental approach with vast impact on future therapy. READ MORE

  4. 2. Lactobacilli- and Staphylococcus aureus mediated modulation of immune responses in vitro

    Author : Yeneneh Haileselassie; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Huub Savelkoul; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lactobacilli; staphylococcus aureus; dendritic cells; retinoic acid; epithelial cells; T cells; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : The human gut harbors a vast number of microbes. These microbes are not passive bystanders. They are important in modulating the immune system. We have previously shown that early colonization with lactobacilli and Staphylococcus (S. READ MORE

  5. 3. Intestinal Mucosa Reconstitution and Protection: Impact of Luminal Factors

    Author : Yilei Mao; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Probiotics; Pectin; Oat; Methotrexate; Lactobacilli; Intestinal injury; Intestinal immunity; Intestinal barrier; Enterocolitis; Fiber; Radiation; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Abstract : The gastrointestinal mucosa is one of the most rapidly proliferating tissues in the body, and serves as a barrier to luminal bacteria and toxins. Enteral nutrition, luminal fiber and probiotics are of crucial importance for the integrity of this barrier. READ MORE

  6. 4. Immune maturation and lymphocyte characteristics in relation to early gut bacteria exposure

    Author : Sophia Björkander; Eva Sverremark Ekström; Hanne Frøkiær; Stockholms universitet; []

    Abstract : At birth, the immune system is immature and the gut microbiota influences immune maturation. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and lactobacilli are part of the neonatal gut microbiota and have seemingly opposite effects on the immune system. S. READ MORE

  7. 5. Lactobacillus iners and the normal vaginal flora

    Author : Tell Jakobsson; Urban Forsum; Lars Fåhraeus; Per-Göran Larsson; Ingegerd Adlerberth; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vagina; microbes; lactobacilli; phenotypic methods; molecular biology; 16S rRNA; pyrosequencing; Clinical bacteriology; Klinisk bakteriologi;

    Abstract : The ecological niche of the vagina contains a large number of different microbes that are constantly interacting with each other and the host. Culture methods have not been sufficient in order to resolve the complexity of the normal vaginal flora. READ MORE
