  2. 1. Systematics of Lactobacillus spp. of probiotic potential

    Author : Alejandra Vasquez; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik; mycology; virology; bacteriology; Microbiology; bacteria; molecular-based identification; probiotics; systematics;

    Abstract : Lactobacillus is a heterogeneous bacterial genus comprising at present 91 species. The high species number often makes classification and identification difficult, especially as the taxonomy to a high degree has been based on phenotypical traits. READ MORE

  4. 2. Lactobacillus characterization and effects on oral biofilm composition

    Author : Nelly Romani Vestman; Ingegerd Johansson; Jukka Meurman; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lactobacillus; L. gasseri; probiotic traits; oral biofilm; breastfeeding; oral microbiota; odontologi; Odontology;

    Abstract : The human body is home for millions of bacteria. The largest microbial community is located in the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract, including the oral cavity with >700 identified taxa. Lactobacillus, which is normal inhabitant of the GI tract, contributes to health by possible biofilm and immune modulation. READ MORE

  5. 3. The female genital tract microbiota: composition, relation to innate immune factors, and effects of contraceptives

    Author : Natalia Nikolaitchouk; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : bacterial vaginosis; checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridisation; cytokines; SLPI; Lactobacillus coleohominis; Lactobacillus iners; Actinomyces urogenitalis;

    Abstract : Abnormal vaginal microbiota, as in bacterial vaginosis (BV), is associated with increased risk of obstetrical and gynaecologic complications and acquisition of sexually transmitted diseases. However, very little is known about the pathogenesis of BV. In BV, the normal vaginal Lactobacillus-dominated biota (LDB) is replaced by anaerobic bacteria. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular analysis of the oral microbiota of dental diseases

    Author : Eleni Kanasi; Sirkka Asikainen; Anne CR Tanner; Ingegerd Johansson; Gunnar Dahlén; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; early childhood caries; early periodontitis; 16S rDNA cloning and sequencing; whole genomic DNA probes; oligonucleotide DNA probes; PCR; diversity; molecular; aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans; serotypes; Oral microbiology; Oral mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : Traditionally, bacterial culture has been used for bacterial detection, allowing study of living microorganisms. Molecular methods are rapid and allow simultaneous identification of numerous species and uncultivated phylotypes. READ MORE

  7. 5. RAPD and REA for Characterization of Lactobacillus plantarum strains, and Enterococcus spp. with Special Reference to Enterococcus spp. from Meat and Humans

    Author : Mikael Quednau; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Food and drink technology; pork; chicken; antibiotic resistance; Lactobacillus plantarum; Enterococcus; REA; RAPD; Livsmedelsteknik;

    Abstract : Restriction Endonuclease Analysis (REA) was used to characterize strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lb. pentosus, and Lb. reuteri. This method was shown to be a powerful tool for separation at the species and strain level. READ MORE
