  2. 1. Staphylococcus aureus in the infantile bowel flora

    Author : Erika Lindberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Staphylococcus aureus; intestinal; microflora; superantigen; RAPD; bacteria; infants;

    Abstract : The increasingly hygienic life-style in Western societies may not only have reduced infections, but may also have altered the composition of the commensal microflora, which may, in turn, have predisposed to e.g. allergy development. Here we investigated the first year s intestinal colonization pattern of a Swedish birth-cohort. READ MORE

  4. 2. Human intestinal T lymphocytes : a comparative analysis of phenotype and function in normal and inflamed mucosa

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; human intestinal mucosa; intraepithelial lymphocyte; lamina propria lymphocyte; γδ T cell; regulatory T cell; cytotoxicity; cytokine; basal lymphoid aggregate; ulcerative colitis; Crohn s disease;

    Abstract : The epithelial lining of the gut must allow immediate contact with beneficial components as nutrients and normal microflora. At the same time it runs the constant risk of attack from pathogenic microbes and noxious agents. READ MORE

  5. 3. On Lactobacillus plantarum 299v, bacterial translocation and intestinal permeability

    Abstract : The gastrointestinal tract harbours a huge load of bacteria which exerts important biological functions to maintain health. In certain conditions the relation between commensal bacteria and pathogens may be set off balance, with an increase in number of pathogens and risk of bacterial translocation (BT). READ MORE

  6. 4. Immune response of the small intestinal mucosa in children with celiac disease : impact of two environmental factors, resident microbiota and oats
