Overview

Stefan Karlsson is affiliated with Lund University in Sweden. Their research primarily focuses on the biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology fields, with specific emphasis on endocrinology, epidemiology, molecular medicine, infectious diseases, and food science as subfields of study.

The main topics covered in Karlsson's work include Vibrio bacteria research studies, Escherichia coli research studies, influenza virus research studies, antibiotic resistance in bacteria, viral gastroenteritis research and epidemiology, Salmonella and Campylobacter epidemiology, and aquaculture disease management and microbiota.

Karlsson has contributed to several recent scientific papers published mainly in the venue Vaccine, as well as in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory). The recent publications include:

  • Development of Hillchol®, a low-cost inactivated single strain Hikojima oral cholera vaccine, 2020, Vaccine
  • A phase I/II study to evaluate safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of Hillchol®, an inactivated single Hikojima strain based oral cholera vaccine, in a sequentially age descending population in Bangladesh, 2021, Vaccine
  • A thermostable, dry formulation inactivated Hikojima whole cell/cholera toxin B subunit oral cholera vaccine, 2023, Vaccine
  • Serotype has a significant impact on the virulence of 7th pandemic Vibrio cholerae O1, 2020, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

The scientist has collaborated frequently with various colleagues, notably working alongside Michael Lebens, Jan Holmgren, Tarun Kumar Sharma, Madeleine Löfstrand, and Vibhu Kanchan.

The level of output in specialized journals related to vaccine development and infectious diseases highlights Karlsson's consistent engagement with research on bacterial pathogens and vaccine technologies. Their work intersects multiple disciplines, reflecting a broad expertise in both fundamental science and applied biomedical research directed at infectious diseases and microbiology.
