  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. The skin surface microenvironment. Aspects on biophysical conditions and microbiology

    Author : Bo Runeman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Candida albicans; diaper dermatitis; occlusion; skin humidity; skin microflora; skin surface pH; skin temperature; UVB; vapour permeability; vulva;

    Abstract : The influence of skin environmental factors has been investigated in five studies. In the first study, the microbial growth and rash development in diaper dermatitis were studied in order to evaluate a UVB radiation therapy in comparison with a combined antifungal-hydrocortisone cream.

  5. 3. Ecological impact of antibiotic treatment on human normal microflora

    Author : Mamun-Ur Rashid; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Ceftobiprole;

    Abstract : The skin and the mucosal surfaces of humans are colonized with microorganisms which are often referred as the normal microflora. There is a biological balance between the human host and the normal microflora in health. The extensive use of antibiotics in both humans and animals has caused the development of many resistant bacteria. READ MORE

  6. 4. Biological and Pharmacological Factor that Influence the Selection of Antibiotic Resistance

    Author : Ingegerd Gustafsson; Otto Cars; Niels Frimodt-Möller; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microbiology; Human microflora; antibiotic resistance; selection; mutation frequency; biological fitness; pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics; β-lactam antibiotics; suboptimal dosing regimen; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi; Klinisk bakteriologi; Clinical Bacteriology;

    Abstract : Antibiotic treatment causes an ecological disturbance on the human microflora. Four commensal bacteria: E. coli, enterococci, a-streptococci and coagulase-negative staphylococci, from patients with extensive, high antibiotic usage were investigated with regard to resistance pattern and mutation frequency.

  7. 5. Development of allergy, salivary IgA antibodies and gut microbiota in a Swedish birth cohort

    Author : Anna Sandin; Agnes Wold; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : pet keeping; sensitisation; intestinal microflora; short chain fatty acids; allergy; salivary IgA; late-onset wheezing; pediatrik; Pediatrics;

    Abstract : The increasing prevalence of allergic diseases in affluent societies has been associated with changes in microbial exposure early in life and a less diverse gut flora. The objective of this thesis was to assess the development of allergic sensitisation and symptoms during the first four years of life in a non-selected birth cohort in relation to environmental factors, family history, gut microbiota and salivary IgA antibodies.
