• Investigation of the mechanisms underpinning interaction of Bifidobacterium breve with the host 

  Hickey, Ana Claire (University College Cork, 2019)

  Bifidobacteria are one of the first bacterial genera to colonise the gastrointestinal tract of human infants, are found in breast milk, are reported to influence immunity and to affect susceptibility to infectious and ...
• Different carbon sources result in differential activation of sigma B and stress resistance in Listeria monocytogenes 

  Crespo Tapia, Natalia; Dorey, Amber L.; Gahan, Cormac G. M.; den Besten, Heidy M. W.; O'Byrne, Conor P.; Abee, Tjakko (Elsevier B.V., 2019-12-30)

  Listeria monocytogenes is an important food-borne pathogen that is ubiquitous in the environment. It is able to utilize a variety of carbon sources, to produce biofilms on food-processing surfaces and to survive food ...
• The presence of Aspergillus fumigatus in asthmatic airways is not clearly related to clinical disease severity 

  Sullivan, Ashley; Hunt, Eoin B.; Ward, Chris; Lapthorne, Susan; Eustace, Joseph A.; Fanning, Liam J.; Plant, Barry J.; O'Byrne, Paul M.; MacSharry, John A.; Murphy, Desmond M. (Wiley, 2019-10-12)

  Background: It is suggested that airway fungi, in particular Aspergillus may impinge on clinical phenotype in asthma. Indeed, the term severe asthma with fungal sensitization (SAFS) has been coined. We aimed to ascertain ...
• Bifidobacterial distribution across Italian cheeses produced from raw milk 

  Milani, Christian; Alessandri, Giulia; Mancabelli, Leonardo; Lugli, Gabriele Andrea; Longhi, Giulia; Anzalone, Rosaria; Viappiani, Alice; Duranti, Sabrina; Turroni, Francesca; Ossiprandi, Maria Cristina; van Sinderen, Douwe; Ventura, Marco (MDPI, 2019-11-21)

  Cheese microbiota is of high industrial relevance due to its crucial role in defining the organoleptic features of the final product. Nevertheless, the composition of and possible microbe–microbe interactions between these ...
• Transcriptional control of central carbon metabolic flux in Bifidobacteria by two functionally similar, yet distinct LacI-type regulators 

  Lanigan, Noreen; Kelly, Emer; Arzamasov, Aleksandr A.; Stanton, Catherine; Rodionov, Dmitry A.; van Sinderen, Douwe (Springer Nature, 2019-11-28)

  Bifidobacteria resident in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) are subject to constantly changing environmental conditions, which require rapid adjustments in gene expression. Here, we show that two predicted LacI-type ...
