An essential role for coagulase instaphylococcus aureusbiofilm development reveals new therapeutic possibilities for device-related infections
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-06-04)High-level resistance to antimicrobial drugs is a major factor in the pathogenesis of chronic Staphylococcus aureus biofilm-associated, medical device-related infections. Antimicrobial susceptibility analysis revealed that ... -
Antibiotic resistance of retail food and human campylobacter isolates on the island of ireland from 2001–2002
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2006-04-20)The antimicrobial resistance profiles of Campylobacter isolates recovered from a range of retail food samples (n = 374) and humans (n = 314) to eight antimicrobial compounds were investigated. High levels of resistance in ... -
Clonal expansion may account for high levels of quinolone resistance in salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-05-01)We have observed a high incidence of isolated nalidixic acid resistance in Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis isolates in Ireland, particularly isolates of phage type 1 (PT1). A group of nalidixic acid-resistant (n = ... -
Commonly used disinfectants fail to eradicate salmonella enterica biofilms from food contact surface materials
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-12-20)Salmonellosis is the second most common cause of food-borne illness worldwide. Contamination of surfaces in food processing environments may result in biofilm formation with a risk of food contamination. Effective ... -
Eradication of staphylococcus aureus catheter-related biofilm infections using ml:8 and citrox
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016-07-25)Staphylococci are a leading cause of catheter-related infections (CRIs) due to biofilm formation. CRIs are typically managed by either device removal or systemic antibiotics, often in combination with catheter lock solutions ... -
Establishment of the european meningococcal strain collection genome library (emsc-gl) for the 2011 to 2012 epidemiological year
(European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC), 2018-05-17)Invasive meningococcal disease surveillance in Europe combines isolate characterisation and epidemiological data to support public health intervention. A representative European Meningococcal Strain Collection (EMSC) of ... -
Extended-spectrum -lactamases in ireland, including a novel enzyme, tem-102
(American Society for Microbiology, 2003-07-23)Organisms producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) have been reported in many countries, but there is no information on the prevalence of ESBL-producing members of the family Enterobacteriaceae in Ireland. A ... -
Fgf receptor genes and breast cancer susceptibility: results from the breast cancer association consortium
(Springer Nature, 2014-02-18)Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women. Genome-wide association studies have identified FGFR2 as a breast cancer susceptibility gene. Common variation in other fibroblast growth factor ... -
Genome-wide association studies identify four er negative–specific breast cancer risk loci
(Springer Nature, 2013-03-27)Estrogen receptor (ER)-negative tumors represent 20-30% of all breast cancers, with a higher proportion occurring in younger women and women of African ancestry. The etiology and clinical behavior of ER-negative tumors are ... -
Homo- and heterometallic planes, chains and cubanes
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2013-01-01)The synthesis, structural and magnetic characterisation of a family of homo- and heterometallic complexes constructed with the Schiff base ligands 2-iminomethyl-6-methoxy-phenol (L1H) and 2-imino-6-methoxy-phenol (L2H), ... -
Host recognition of bacterial muramyl dipeptide mediated through nod2
(American Society for Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (ASBMB), 2003-01-04)NOD2, a protein associated with susceptibility to Crohn's disease, confers responsiveness to bacterial preparations of lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan, but the precise moiety recognized remains elusive. Biochemical ... -
in vitro selection of miltefosine resistance in promastigotes of leishmania donovani from nepal: genomic and metabolomic characterization
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-02-09)In this study, we followed the genomic, lipidomic and metabolomic changes associated with the selection of miltefosine (MIL) resistance in two clinically derived Leishmania donovani strains with different inherent resistance ... -
Investigating the association of rs2910164 with cancer in irish patients
(BioScientifica, 2017-09-12)Introduction: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules that exert post-transcriptional effects on gene expression by binding with cis-regulatory regions in target messenger RNA (mRNA). Polymorphisms in genes ... -
Phenotypic and proteomic characterization of multiply antibiotic-resistant variants of salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium selected following exposure to disinfectants
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007-12-14)In previous work, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strain SL1344 was exposed to sublethal concentrations of three widely used farm disinfectants in daily serial passages for 7 days in an attempt to investigate ... -
