• Heat-killed lactobacilli alter both microbiota composition and behaviour 

  Warda, Alicja K.; Rea, Kieran; Fitzgerald, Patrick; Hueston, Cara M.; Gonzalez-Tortuero, Enrique; Dinan, Timothy G.; Hill, Colin (Elsevier, 2019-04-19)

  Recently it has been proposed to expand the definition of psychobiotics (beneficial bacteria (probiotics) or support for such bacteria (prebiotics) that positively impact mental health) to any exogenous influence whose ...
• Gut microbiota-mediated bile acid transformations alter the cellular response to multidrug resistant transporter substrates in vitro: focus on P-glycoprotein 

  Enright, Elaine F.; Govindarajan, Kalaimathi; Darrer, Rebecca; MacSharry, John; Joyce, Susan A.; Gahan, Cormac G. (American Chemical Society, ACS, 2018-11-02)

  Pharmacokinetic research at the host-microbe interface has been primarily directed toward effects on drug metabolism, with fewer investigations considering the absorption process. We previously demonstrated that the ...
• Prevalence of malnutrition using harmonized definitions in older adults from different settings – A MaNuEL study 

  Wolters, Maike; Volkert, Dorothee; Streicher, Melanie; Kiesswetter, Eva; Torbahn, Gabriel; O'Connor, Eibhlís M.; O'Keeffe, Mary; Kelly, Mary; O'Herlihy, Eileen; O'Toole, Paul W.; Timmons, Suzanne; O'Shea, Emma; Kearney, Patricia; van Zwienen-Pot, Judith; Visser, Marjolein; Maitre, Isabelle; Van Wymelbeke, Virginie; Sulmont-Rossé, Claire; Nagel, Gabriele; Flechtner-Mors, Marion; Goisser, Sabine; Teh, Ruth; Hebestreit, Antje (Elsevier, 2018-11-03)

  Summary Background & aims Malnutrition is widespread among older people and related to poor outcome. Reported prevalences vary widely, also because of different diagnostic criteria used. This study aimed to describe ...
• Bioengineering nisin to overcome the nisin resistance protein 

  Field, Des; Blake, Tony; Mathur, Harsh; O'Connor, Paula M.; Cotter, Paul D.; Ross, R. Paul; Hill, Colin (Wiley, 2018-12-11)

  The emergence and dissemination of antibiotic resistant bacteria is a major medical challenge. Lantibiotics are highly modified bacterially produced antimicrobial peptides that have attracted considerable interest as ...
• Graphene facilitates biomethane production from protein derived glycine in anaerobic digestion 

  Lin, Richen; Deng, Chen; Cheng, Jun; Xia, Ao; Lens, Piet N. L.; Jackson, Stephen A.; Dobson, Alan D. W.; Murphy, Jerry D. (Elsevier B.V., 2018-11-22)

  Interspecies electron transfer is a fundamental factor determining the efficiency of anaerobic digestion (AD), which involves syntrophy between fermentative bacteria and methanogens. Direct interspecies electron transfer ...
