• An Investigation into the utilisation of ethanolamine by uropathogenic E. coli 

  Dadswell, Katherine (University College Cork, 2019)

  Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide with E. coli as the causal organism responsible for 75% of all cases. Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) naturally reside in the ...
• Therapeutic potential of modulating the microbiota-gut-immune-brain axis for stress and neurodevelopmental disorders 

  van de Wouw, Marcel (University College Cork, 2018)

  There is a growing recognition of the involvement of the gastrointestinal microbiota in the regulation of physiology and behaviour. This is in tandem with increasing demands for novel microbiota-targeted interventions ...
• The exercise and diet-microbiome paradigm: influences of physical activity and dietary nutrition on the human gut microbiome 

  Barton, Wiley (University College Cork, 2018)

  Introduction: Revolutionary insights of the human microbiome, the conglomeration of microorganisms that stably occupy an expansive array of anatomical locations of the human body, have certified the phenomenon as an integral ...
