  2. 1. Lactobacilli dominating the normal vaginal flora

    Author : Tell Jakobsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The microbiology of the ecological niche of the vagina is dynamic. There are numerous inhabitants, mainly anaerobic bacteria. During the fertile years the vaginal mucosa is normally dominated by lactobacilli, a fact that has been known for over a century. READ MORE

  4. 2. Human intestinal epithelial cells in innate immunity : interactions with normal microbiota and pathogenic bacteria

    Author : Gangwei Ou; Sten Hammarström; Marie-Louise Hammarström; Agnes Wold; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Rod-shaped bacteria were previously shown to be associated with the small intestinal epithelium of children with celiac disease (CD). Using culture-dependent and independent methods, we characterized the microbiota of small intestine in children with CD and controls. The normal microbiota constitutes an unique organ-specific biofilm. READ MORE

  5. 3. Urogenital probiotics : potential role of Lactobacillus in the prevention of urogenital infections in women

    Author : Daniel Rönnqvist; Eva Essum AB Grahn Håkansson; Ulla SCA Hygiene Care Forsgren-Brusk; Anders Sjöstedt; Patricia Conway; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lactobacillus; normal flora; probiotics; urogenital infections; Candida; Clinical bacteriology; Klinisk bakteriologi;

    Abstract : The human vaginal ecosystem is dominated by Lactobacillus species. An altered vaginal flora can result in symptomatic conditions such as bacterial vaginosis and vulvo-vaginal candidiasis, and urogenital colonisation by uropathogenic bacteria can cause urinary tract infection.

  6. 4. Ecological aspects of antimicrobial susceptibility of anaerobic bacteria in Nicaragua

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

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  7. 5. Immunological tolerance to antigens in the intestine

    Author : Malin Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rat; oral tolerance; serum factor; normal gut flora; exosomes;

    Abstract : The major part of the immune system is found in the epithelium and lamina propria of the gut. The distribution of the leukocytes is structured probably because the immune system has to distinguish between harmful microorganisms, food antigens and the normal gut flora. READ MORE
