• Next-generation probiotics: the spectrum from probiotics to live biotherapeutics 

  O'Toole, Paul W.; Marchesi, Julian R.; Hill, Colin (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)

  The leading probiotics currently available to consumers are generally drawn from a narrow range of organisms. Knowledge of the gut microbiota and its constituent actors is changing this paradigm, particularly given the ...
• Fecal microbiota variation across the lifespan of the healthy laboratory rat 

  Flemer, Burkhardt; Gaci, Nadia; Borrel, Guillaume; Sanderson, Ian R.; Chaudhary, Prem P.; Tottey, William; O'Toole, Paul W.; Brugere, Jean-Francois (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2017)

  Laboratory rats are commonly used in life science research as a model for human biology and disease, but the composition and development of their gut microbiota during life is poorly understood. We determined the fecal ...
• Mycotoxins in spices and herbs - an update 

  Kabak, Bulent; Dobson, Alan D. W. (Taylor & Francis Group, 2017-01)

  Spices and herbs have been used since ancient times as flavor and aroma enhancers, colorants, preservatives, and traditional medicines. There are more than 30 spices and herbs of global economic and culinary importance. ...
• HPLC-ESI-MS/MS characterisation of metabolites produced by Pseudovibrio sp. W64, a marine sponge-derived bacterium isolated from Irish waters 

  Choudhary, Alka; Naughton, Lynn M.; Dobson, Alan D. W.; Rai, Dilip K. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2018-07-03)

  Rationale: In recent years, metabolites produced by Pseudovibrio species have gained scientific attention due to their potent antimicrobial activity. Recently we also have assessed antibacterial activities of Pseudovibrio ...
• Parasite genetic distance and local adaptation in co-evolving bacteria-bacteriophage populations 

  Scanlan, Pauline D.; Hall, Alex R.; Buckling, Angus (Wiley, 2016-10-24)

  Antagonistic co-evolution between hosts and parasites can lead to local adaptation (LA) such that parasite fitness is greatest in sympatric hosts (or vice versa). The magnitude of LA typically increases with geographical ...
