    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; bacteriology; virology; Microbiology; Ulcerative colitis; T-RFLP; 16S rRNA; Brachyspira; Microbiota; Bacterial diversity; Bacterial translocation; Translocating bacteria;

    Abstract : The intestinal flora and the bacteria found in the extraintestinal sites were studied in liver injury rats, with or without Lactobacillus plantarum 299v pre-treatment. The dominating intestinal flora and translocating bacteria were typed by RAPD and identified by 16S rDNA sequencing. READ MORE

    Abstract : The spread of lifestyle-related diseases has become epidemic throughout the world. Impaired glucose metabolism and high levels of plasma cholesterol are risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease respectively. READ MORE

  5. 3. Influence of probiotics and other external factors on intestinal biochemical microflora-associated characteristics : studies in vitro and in vivo in gnotobiotic mice and in pigs

    Author : Maria E Cardona G; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Gastrointestinal microflora germ-free mice; lactic acid bacteria; microflora- associated characteristics; piglets; probiotics.;

    Abstract : The benefit of harboring a balanced intestinal microflora is well recognized. Therefore, in order to 'maintain or improve the intestinal flora, the use of microbial species as feed supplements, i.e. probiotics, has rapidly increased. READ MORE

  6. 4. Exploring the microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiota; Probiotics; Blood pressure; High fat diet; Oat; Green tea; Berry; Fiber; Exopolysaccharides; Ulcerative colitis;

    Abstract : Abstract: Balanced microbiota of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is important for maintaining health of the host. Altered gut microbiota have been found to be associated with various life-style induced and other intestinal inflammatory diseases. Gut microbiota is viewed as a metabolic organ and considered as new target for therapies. READ MORE

  7. 5. Enterococcal distribution and responses toenvironmental waters

    Author : Ebraheem M. Elmarghani; Jana Jass; Per-Erik Olsson; Nikolai Scherbak; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Enviromental Science; Miljövetenskap; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : The release of antibiotics and pharmaceuticals into environmental waters contribute to the increasing risk of antibiotic resistant bacteria. The spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria in the environment increases the health risks to the community. Enterococci are fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) in aquatic environments for determining water quality. READ MORE
