• The expanding horizon of alkyl quinolone signalling and communication in polycellular interactomes 

  Reen, F. Jerry; McGlacken, Gerard P.; O'Gara, Fergal (Oxford University Press on behalf of Federation of European Microbiological Societies, 2018-03-26)

  Population dynamics within natural ecosystems is underpinned by microbial diversity and the heterogeneity of host-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions. Small molecule signals that intersperse between species have been ...
• Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003 employs multiple transcriptional regulators to control metabolism of particular human milk oligosaccharides 

  James, Kieran; O'Connell Motherway, Mary; Penno, Christophe; O'Brien, Rebecca Louise; van Sinderen, Douwe (American Society for Microbiology, 2018-03-02)

  Bifidobacterial carbohydrate metabolism has been studied in considerable detail for a variety of both plant and human-derived glycans, particularly involving the bifidobacterial prototype Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003. We ...
• A decade of Streptococcus thermophilus phage evolution in an Irish dairy plant 

  Lavelle, Katherine; Murphy, James; Fitzgerald, Brian; Lugli, Gabriele A.; Zomer, Aldert; Neve, Horst; Ventura, Marco; Franz, Charles M.; Cambillau, Christian; van Sinderen, Douwe; Mahony, Jennifer (American Society for Microbiology, 2018-03-09)

  Phages of Streptococcus thermophilus present a major threat to the production of many fermented dairy products. To date, only a handful of studies have assessed the biodiversity of S. thermophilus phages in dairy fermentations. ...
• Rhinoscleroma pathogenesis: the type K3 capsule of Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis is a virulence factor not involved in Mikulicz cells formation 

  Corelli, Barbara; Almeida, Ana S.; Sonego, Fabiane; Castiglia, Virginia; Fevre, Cindy; Brisse, Sylvain; Sansonetti, Philippe J.; Tournebize, Régis (Public Library of Science, 2018)

  Rhinoscleroma is a human specific chronic granulomatous infection of the nose and upper airways caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae subsp. rhinoscleromatis. Although considered a rare disease, it ...
• Omics-based insights into flavor development and microbial succession within surface-ripened cheese 

  Bertuzzi, Andrea S.; Walsh, Aaron M.; Sheehan, J. J.; Cotter, Paul D.; Crispie, Fiona; McSweeney, Paul L. H.; Kilcawley, Kieran N.; Rea, Mary C. (American Society for Microbiology, 2018)

  In this study, a young Cheddar curd was used to produce two types of surface-ripened cheese, using two commercial smear-culture mixes of yeasts and bacteria. Whole-metagenome shotgun sequencing was used to screen the ...
