• Antimicrobials for food and feed; a bacteriocin perspective 

  O'Connor, Paula M.; Kuniyoshi, Taís M.; Oliveira, Ricardo P. S.; Hill, Colin; Ross, R. Paul; Cotter, Paul D. (Elsevier Ltd., 2020-01-20)

  Bacteriocins are natural antimicrobials that have been consumed via fermented foods for millennia and have been the focus of renewed efforts to identify novel bacteriocins, and their producing microorganisms, for use as ...
• The role of the microbiota in sedentary life style disorders and ageing: Lessons from the animal kingdom 

  O'Toole, Paul W.; Shiels, Paul G. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2020-01-19)

  A paradox of so-called developed countries is that, as the major historical causes of human mortality are eliminated or mitigated by medical progress, life-style related diseases have become major killers. Furthermore, as ...
• Piphillin predicts metagenomic composition and dynamics from DADA2-corrected 16S rDNA sequences 

  Narayan, Nicole R.; Weinmaier, Thomas; Laserna-Mendieta, Emilio J.; Claesson, Marcus J.; Shanahan, Fergus; Dabbagh, Karim; Iwai, Shoko; DeSantis, Todd Z. (BioMed Central Ltd., 2020-01-17)

  Shotgun metagenomic sequencing reveals the potential in microbial communities. However, lower-cost 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing provides taxonomic, not functional, observations. To remedy this, we previously ...
• 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 ...
