    Keywords : Cervical cancer; Human papilloma virus; Screening; Self-sampling; Biomarkers; Vaginal microbiota; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Introduction of organised screening programs and prophylactic vaccination against human papilloma virus (HPV) have successfully reduced the incidence of cervical cancer globally. In Sweden, the incidence has been reduced by about 50 % since the introduction of the national screening programme in the late 1960’s. READ MORE

  4. 2. Lactobacillus based treatment of vaginal infections

    Author : Sonal Pendharkar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The vaginal microbiota (VMB) is a complex and delicate balance between different bacterial species and is normally dominated by Lactobacillus species. Under the effect of hormonal changes, behavioral or sexual activity VMB could lose this balance resulting in diseases. READ MORE

  5. 3. Exploring the interaction between the human microbiota and infections

    Author : Liqin Cheng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The microbiota is a living ecosystem that is influenced by a variety of host and environmental factors. Distinct microbiota colonizes various body sites, such as the gastrointestinal system and vaginal tract, corresponding to the unique microenvironment. A healthy gut microbiota contains a stable, balanced, and highly diverse reservoir of microbes. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Gut Bacterial Flora - Focus on Early Life and Physiological Traits

    Author : Caroline Linninge; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gut microbiota; atopic eczema; inflammation; bacterial diversity; Escherichia coli; Lactobacillus plantarum; molecular-genetic methods;

    Abstract : The gastrointestinal tract of the foetus is considered sterile but during vaginal birth the neonate comes into contact with bacteria from the maternal vaginal and intestinal microbiota. The main focus of this doctoral thesis was to elucidate the initial bacterial ecosystem in newborns and to relate microbial perturbations to physiological traits. READ MORE

  7. 5. Molecular characterization of the dynamics and development of the human microbiota

    Author : Hedvig Engström Jakobsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The human body contains an enormous amount of bacteria, which are important in processes such as colonization resistance, digestion of food particles, and in the development of the immune system. Most host-microbe interactions are not harmful. READ MORE
