IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE MULTIDRUG RESISTANCE GENE cfr IN PANTON-VALENTINE LEUKOCIDIN-POSITIVE ST8-METHICILLIN-RESISTANT Staphylococcus aureus-IVa (USA300)
(2010)The staphylococcal cfr gene mediates resistance to phenicols, lincosamides, oxazolidinones, pleuromutilins, and streptogramin A, a phenotype that has been termed PhLOPSA. The cfr gene has mainly been associated with ... -
IMMERSION OF DEBRIDED DIABETIC FOOT ULCER (DFU) TISSUE IN ELECTROCHEMICALLY GENERATED PH NEUTRAL HYPOCHLOROUS ACID SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES THE MICROBIAL BIOBURDEN: WHOLE-GENOME SEQUENCING OF Staphylococcus aureus, THE MOST PREVALENT SPECIES RECOVERED
(2023)Background: Diabetic foot ulcer infections (DFUIs) are the leading cause of lower limb amputations, mediated predominantly by Staphylococcus aureus. pH neutral electrochemically-generated hypochlorous acid (anolyte) is a ... -

(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2017)Abstract Title: The impact of functional appliance treatment on bullying and quality of life in adolescents and their parents. Aims and Objectives: The objectives of this prospective cohort study were to assess the ... -
Impact of pulpectomy versus tooth extraction in children's oral health-related quality of life: A randomized clinical trial
(2023)Aim: The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to compare the impact of two management options for primary molars with pulp necrosis (pulpectomy or extraction) on children's oral health-related quality of life ... -
The importance of repulsive potential barriers for the dispersion of graphene using surfactants
(2010)We have dispersed graphene in water, stabilized by a range of 12 ionic and non-ionic surfactants. In all cases, the degree of exfoliation, as characterized by flake length and thickness, was similar. The dispersed flakes ... -
Improving the standard of the standard for glass ionomers: an alternative to the compressive fracture strength test for consideration?
(2012)Objectives: Three strength tests (compressive, three point flexure and biaxial) were performed on three glass ionomer (GI) restoratives to assess the most appropriate methodology in terms of validity and reliability. The ... -
An in vitro study evaluating the efficacy of a novel mount with torque control designed to tighten Osstell SmartPegs
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2022)Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects that different transducer tightening methods have on implant stability quotient (ISQ) values. A secondary aim was to determine the reliability of ISQ measurements ... -
An in vivo comparison of bacterial microleakage in two dental implant systems: identification of a pathogenic reservoir in dental implants
(2015)Objectives. The aim of this study was to compare internal bacterial colonization in two implant systems, one screw root form (SRF) with an external hexagon connection and one plateau root form (PRF) with a Morse taper ... -
An in-vitro assessment of the retrievability of fractured dental implant abutment screws
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2021)Background: Fractured abutment screws have the potential to preclude restoration of osseointegrated dental implants and as a result, a wide range of products and techniques aimed at retrieving fractured screw fragments ... -
