• Microbial therapeutics for infant gut health 

  Watkins, Claire (University College Cork, 2018)

  The infant gut microbiota play an important role in the development of human health. This thesis outlines different areas where the infant gut can contribute as a source of microorganisms with the potential to benefit ...
• The oral microbiota of Irish children in health and disease: a longitudinal and cross sectional study 

  Hurley, Eimear (University College Cork, 2017)

  The oral cavity harbours a very rich and diverse microbial community. In the last decade, the oral microbiota of children and adults has been studied in detail using continuously developing DNA sequencing methods. In ...
• Metabolism of human milk oligosaccharides by infant-associated bifidobacteria 

  James, Kieran (University College Cork, 2018)

  Bifidobacteria are Gram-positive, anaerobic bacteria belonging to the Actinobacteria phylum, and are commensals of the mammalian, avian and occasionally insect gastrointestinal tracts. In humans, bifidobacteria are typically ...
• Adolescence as a vulnerable period for the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic regulators of neurogenesis on cognitive behaviour 

  O'Leary, James Daniel (University College Cork, 2017)

  Postnatal hippocampal neurogenesis is the birth of new neurons within the dentate gyrus that occurs throughout the lifespan. In adulthood, these new neurons have been shown to be necessary for cognitive tasks such as spatial ...
• Microbiota, diet and medication in human gut disorders 

  Clooney, Adam (University College Cork, 2017)

  The microbiota, a community of micro-organisms in a particular environment, have been intensely researched in the past decade and interest appears to continue to increase. The human body is richly populated with bacterial ...
