• Bacteria and tumours: causative agents or opportunistic inhabitants? 

  Cummins, Joanne; Tangney, Mark (BioMed Central, 2013-03-28)

  Associations between different bacteria and various tumours have been reported in patients for decades. Studies involving characterisation of bacteria within tumour tissues have traditionally been in the context of ...
• Catabolic flexibility of mammalian-associated lactobacilli 

  O'Donnell, Michelle M.; O'Toole, Paul W.; Ross, R. Paul (BioMed Central, 2013-05-16)

  Metabolic flexibility may be generally defined as “the capacity for the organism to adapt fuel oxidation to fuel availability”. The metabolic diversification strategies used by individual bacteria vary greatly from the use ...
• Influence of internalin a murinisation on host resistance to orally acquired listeriosis in mice 

  Bergmann, Silke; Beard, Philippa M.; Pasche, Bastian; Lienenklaus, Stefan; Weiss, Siegfried; Gahan, Cormac G.; Schughart, Klaus; Lengeling, Andreas (BioMed Central Ltd., 2013-04-23)

  Background: The bacterial surface protein internalin (InlA) is a major virulence factor of the food-born pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. It plays a critical role in the bacteria crossing the host intestinal barrier by a ...
• In vivo activity of Nisin A and Nisin V against Listeria monocytogenes in mice 

  Campion, Alicia; Casey, Pat G.; Field, Des; Cotter, Paul D.; Hill, Colin; Ross, R. Paul (BioMed Central Ltd., 2013-02-01)

  Background: Lantibiotics are post-translationally modified antimicrobial peptides, of which nisin A is the most extensively studied example. Bioengineering of nisin A has resulted in the generation of derivatives with ...
• Genome sequence reveals that Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 possesses a large and diverse array of systems for rhizosphere function and host interaction 

  Redondo-Nieto, Miguel; Barret, Matthieu; Morrissey, John P.; Germaine, Kieran; Martínez-Granero, Francisco; Barahona, Emma; Navazo, Ana; Sánchez-Contreras, María; Moynihan, Jennifer A.; Muriel, Candela; Dowling, David; O'Gara, Fergal; Martín, Marta; Rivilla, Rafael (BioMed Central Ltd., 2013-01-25)

  Background: Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) isolated from the sugar-beet rhizosphere. This bacterium has been extensively studied as a model strain for genetic regulation of ...
