  2. 1. Experimental implant-associated orthopaedic infections

    Author : Åke Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Osteomyelitis; anaerobic bacteria; implant design and material; bacterial collagen- and fibronectin-binding;

    Abstract : Although indispensable in today's medicine, orthopaedic implants may also cause adverse reactions. A foreign body increases the local susceptibility to colonisation by microorganisms, and hence the risk of infections. These infections are rare, but many result in prolonged or permanent impairment.

  4. 2. Studies on experimental anaerobic infections of the middle ear and on the polymorphonuclear leukocyte function under anaerobic conditions

    Author : Magnus Thore; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Otitismedia; anaerobicbacteria; experimental; nitroimidazoles; antibody; phagocytosis; anaerobiosis;

    Abstract : Despite the clinical importance of anaerobic bacteria in otitis media and the uncertainty regarding the proper treatment of the anaerobic focal infection, few experimental studies focused upon the role of these microorganisms in otitis media have been publis­hed. In the present investigation a guinea-pig model for the induc­tion of anaerobic monoinfections in the middle ear was described. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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

  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. 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
