• Characterisation of antimicrobial producing staphylococci from the human skin microbiota 

  O'Sullivan, Julie N. (University College Cork, 2019-12)

  This thesis outlines a study of the identification and characterisation of novel antimicrobial peptides, primarily bacteriocins produced by the human skin microbiota. Bacteriocins are small ribosomally synthesised heat ...
• Validation and development of sequence-based tools to analyse the human gut virome 

  Sutton, Thomas D. S. (University College Cork, 2019-12)

  The gut microbiome is a complex community of microorganisms that interacts closely with the human host and is believed to play an important role in the maintenance of human health. The viral component of this community is ...
• Bacterial inhabitants of tumours: methods for exploration and exploitation 

  Walker, Sidney P. (University College Cork, 2020-05-04)

  The presence of bacteria in patient tumours of various types has been reported by numerous groups since 2014, but the findings of these and many similar studies remain contentious. Tumour samples provide many obstacles to ...
• The neurobiological effects of naturally-derived polyphenols and phospholipids in cellular & animal models of stress 

  Donoso, Francisco (University College Cork, 2019-12-20)

  The molecular and cellular basis of stress neurobiology remain an important research question in clinical science. Indeed, stress-related mental disorders, including depression and anxiety, are currently a major public ...
• Gut microbiome-xenobiotic interactions: focus on drug metabolism 

  Walsh, Jacinta (University College Cork, 2020-03-06)

  The fate and activity of drugs are frequently dictated not only by the host per se but also by the microorganisms present in the gastrointestinal tract. While the ever-increasing scientific breakthroughs have highlighted ...
