A rapid culture independent methodology to quantitatively detect and identify common human bacterial pathogens associated with contaminated high purity water
(Springer Nature, 2015-01-01)Background: Water and High Purity Water (HPW) distribution systems can be contaminated with human pathogenic microorganisms. This biocontamination may pose a risk to human health as HPW is commonly used in the industrial, ... -
Cost-effective application of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to typing of salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-12-01)Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is frequently isolated from humans and animals. Phage typing is historically the first-line reference typing technique in Europe. It is rapid and convenient for laboratories with ... -
Disease mentions in airport and hospital geolocations expose dominance of news events for disease concerns
(Springer Nature, 2018-06-12)Background: In recent years, Twitter has been applied to monitor diseases through its facility to monitor users' comments and concerns in real-time. The analysis of tweets for disease mentions should reflect not only user ... -
Genomic characterization of listeria monocytogenes isolates associated with clinical listeriosis and the food production environment in ireland
(MDPI AG, 2018-03-20)Listeria monocytogenes is a major human foodborne pathogen that is prevalent in the natural environment and has a high case fatality rate. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) analysis has emerged as a valuable methodology for ... -
