Targeted nasal vaccination provides antibody independent protection against Staphylococcus aureus.
(2014)Despite showing promise in preclinical models, anti–Staphylococcus aureus vaccines have failed in clinical trials. To date, approaches have focused on neutralizing/opsonizing antibodies; however, vaccines exclusively ... -
Telomeric ORFs (TLOs) in Candida spp. Encode mediator subunits that regulate distinct virulence traits.
(2014)The TLO genes are a family of telomere-associated ORFs in the fungal pathogens Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis that encode a subunit of the Mediator complex with homology to Med2. The more virulent pathogen C. ... -
The cell biology of microtubule inhibition in Plasmodium falciparum
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Microbiology, 2008)Malaria is among the most prevalent human infections worldwide and both the lack of a viable vaccine and the spread of resistance to commonly used drugs have limited the options for control of the parasite, especially ... -
The Dps protein of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Microbiology, 2008)As a nucleoid-associated protein, Dps has long been thought to influence gene expression at a global level. In this study the role of Dps in genetic regulation in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium was investigated. ... -
The genome of Plasmodium falciparum
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Microbiology, 2007)The base distribution of the 14 nuclear chromsomes, of the plastid and the mitochondrion of the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum were studied. Isochores were discovered in the nuclear chromosomes and found to be ... -
The identification of novel peptides using phage display with the potential for use in breast cancer therapy
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Microbiology, 2011)Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women. Current treatments for breast cancer include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and hormone therapy. The recent development of Herceptin has added a ... -
The interaction of clumping factor B and iron-regulated surface determinant protein A of Staphylococcus aureus with the squamous epithelial cell envelope protein loricrin
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Microbiology, 2013)Staphylococcus aureus permanently colonises the anterior nares of 20% of the human population while the remainder is colonised intermittently. Clumping factor B (ClfB) is a surface-expressed staphylococcal protein that ... -
Tn5 insertion mutations in the mercuric ion resistance genes derived from plasmid R100
(1983)The mercuric resistance (mer) genes of plasmid R100 were cloned into plasmid pBR322. A series of transposon Tn5 insertion mutations in the mer genes were isolated and mapped. The mutants were characterized phenotypically ... -
The transcriptional landscape and small RNAs of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium
(2012)More than 50 y of research have provided great insight into the physiology, metabolism, and molecular biology of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium), but important gaps in our knowledge remain. It is ... -
Transcriptional Profile of the Industrial Hybrid Saccharomyces pastorianus Reveals Temperature-Dependent Allele Expression Bias and Preferential Orthologous Protein Assemblies
(2021)Saccharomyces pastorianus is a natural yeast evolved from different hybridization events between the mesophilic S. cerevisiae and the cold-tolerant S. eubayanus. This complex aneuploid hybrid carries multiple copies of the ... -
Transcriptomic analysis of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and K-12 cultures exposed to inorganic and organic acids in stationary phase reveals acidulant and strain-specific acid tolerance responses
(2010)The foodborne pathogen Escherichia coli O157:H7 is commonly exposed to organic acid in processed and preserved foods, allowing adaptation and the development of tolerance to pH levels otherwise lethal. Since little is known ... -
Transforming the untransformable:application of direct transformation to manipulate genetically Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis
(2012)The strong restriction barrier present in Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis has limited functional genomic analysis to a small subset of strains that are amenable to genetic manipulation. Recently, a ... -
Translocation of the tetracycline resistance determinant from R100-1 to the Escherichia coli K12 chromosome
(1975)Pairs of normally incompatible derivatives of R100-1 (one ChlS TetR, the other ChilR TetS) were forced to coexist in a recA host by selection for ChlR TetR cells. After many generations stable derivatives were isolated. ... -
Transmission of a 2009 H1N1 pandemic influenza virus occurs before fever is detected, in the ferret model.
(2012)During the early phase of the 2009 influenza pandemic, attempts were made to contain the spread of the virus. Success of reactive control measures may be compromised if the proportion of transmission that occurs before ... -
Transposable temperate phages promote the evolution of divergent social strategies in Pseudomonas aeruginosa populations
(2019)Transposable temperate phages randomly insert into bacterial genomes, providing increased supply and altered spectra of mutations available to selection, thus opening alternative evolutionary trajectories. Transposable ... -
Transposon A-generated mutations in the mercuric resistance genes of plasmid R100-1
(1979)A series of 23 transposon 801(Tn801)-induced mutations of plasmid R100-1 from mercuric salts resistance to sensitivity was studied. Although Tn801 transposed frequently into the mer region of the plasmid, fine structural ... -
Tumour therapy using cytokine-expressing semliki forest virus vectors
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Microbiology, 2005)Semliki Forest Virus (SFV) vector is a transient RNA based suicidal expression vector system and has been previously used as a potential anti-cancer agent. Recently, a new enhanced SFV vector has been developed, pSFV10-E. ...
