• Phage therapy targeting Escherichia coli - a story with no end? 

  Bolocan, Andrei Sorin; Callanan, Julie; Forde, Amanda; Ross, R. Paul; Hill, Colin (Oxford University Press, 2016-11-09)

  Bacteriophages (phages) or bacterial viruses have long been proposed as an alternative therapy against antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as Escherichia coli. Even though poorly documented in the scientific literature, a ...
• Bacterial microcompartment-directed polyphosphate kinase promotes stable polyphosphate accumulation in E. coli 

  Liang, Mingzhi; Frank, Stefanie; Lünsdorf, Heinrich; Warren, Martin J.; Prentice, Michael B. (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2017-02-10)

  Processes for the biological removal of phosphate from wastewater rely on temporary manipulation of bacterial polyphosphate levels by phased environmental stimuli. In E. coli polyphosphate levels are controlled via the ...
• Controlled functional expression of the bacteriocins pediocin PA-1 and bactofencin A in Escherichia coli 

  Mesa-Pereira, Beatriz; O'Connor, Paula M.; Rea, Mary C.; Cotter, Paul D.; Hill, Colin; Ross, R. Paul (Nature Publishing Group, 2017-06-08)

  The bacteriocins bactofencin A (class IId) and pediocin PA-1 (class IIa) are encoded by operons with a similarly clustered gene organization including a structural peptide, an immunity protein, an ABC transporter and ...
• Strain-level metagenomic analysis of the fermented dairy beverage nunu highlights potential food safety risks 

  Walsh, Aaron M.; Crispie, Fiona; Daari, Kareem; O'Sullivan, Orla; Martin, Jennifer C.; Arthur, Cornelius T.; Claesson, Marcus J.; Scott, Karen P.; Cotter, Paul D. (American Society for Microbiology, 2017-06-16)

  The rapid detection of pathogenic strains in food products is essential for the prevention of disease outbreaks. It has already been demonstrated that whole metagenome shotgun sequencing can be used to detect pathogens in ...
• The effect of exercise interventions on inflammatory biomarkers in healthy, physically inactive subjects: a systematic review 

  Cronin, Owen; Keohane, David M.; Molloy, Michael G.; Shanahan, Fergus (Oxford University Press, 2017-05-02)

  Background: Increases in physical activity ameliorate low-grade systemic inflammation in disease populations such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease. The effects of aerobic and resistance training (RT) ...
