• Impacts of seasonal housing and teat preparation on raw milk microbiota: a high-throughput sequencing study 

  Doyle, Conor J.; Gleeson, David; O'Toole, Paul W.; Cotter, Paul D. (American Society for Microbiology, 2016-11-04)

  In pasture-based systems, changes in dairy herd habitat due to seasonality results in the exposure of animals to different environmental niches. These niches contain distinct microbial communities that may be transferred ...
• Use of enhanced nisin derivatives in combination with food-grade oils or citric acid to control Cronobacter sakazakii and Escherichia coli O157:H7 

  Campion, Alicia; Morrissey, Ruth; Field, Des; Cotter, Paul D.; Hill, Colin; Ross, R. Paul (Elsevier, 2017-02-07)

  Cronobacter sakazakii and Escherichia coli O157:H7 are well known food-borne pathogens that can cause severe disease. The identification of new alternatives to heating to control these pathogens in foods, while reducing ...
• Farnesoid X receptor agonist treatment alters bile acid metabolism but exacerbates liver damage in a piglet model of short-bowel syndrome 

  Pereira-Fantini, Prue M.; Lapthorne, Susan; Gahan, Cormac G. M.; Joyce, Susan A.; Charles, Jenny; Fuller, Peter J.; Bines, Julie E. (Elsevier, 2017-05-10)

  Background & Aims: Options for the prevention of short-bowel syndrome–associated liver disease (SBS-ALDs) are limited and often ineffective. The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a newly emerging pharmaceutical target and FXR ...
• A Profile Hidden Markov Model to investigate the distribution and frequency of LanB-encoding lantibiotic modification genes in the human oral and gut microbiome 

  Walsh, Calum J.; Guinane, Caitriona M.; O'Toole, Paul W.; Cotter, Paul D. (PeerJ, 2017-04-27)

  Background: The human microbiota plays a key role in health and disease, and bacteriocins, which are small, bacterially produced, antimicrobial peptides, are likely to have an important function in the stability and dynamics ...
• Complete genome sequence of the gamma-aminobutyric acid-producing strain Streptococcus thermophilus APC151 

  Linares, Daniel M.; Arboleya, Silvia; Ross, R. Paul; Stanton, Catherine (American Society for Microbiology, 2017-04-27)

  Here is presented the whole-genome sequence of Streptococcus thermophiles APC151, isolated from a marine fish. This bacterium produces gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in high yields and is biotechnologically suitable to ...
