DIFFERENTIAL VIRULENCE OF CANDIDA ALBICANS AND CANDIDA DUBLINIENSIS: A ROLE FOR TOR KINASE?
(2011)Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are two very closely related species of pathogenic yeast. C. albicans is the most prevalent species in the human gastrointestinal tract and is responsible for far more opportunistic ... -
DISINFECTION PROCEDURES: THEIR EFFICACY AND EFFECT ON DIMENSIONAL ACCURACY, SURFACE QUALITY AND SURFACE DETAIL REPRODUCTION OF AN IRREVERSIBLE HYDROCOLLOID IMPRESSION MATERIAL
(2011)Objectives: This study investigated the antibacterial efficacy and effect of 0.55% ortho-phthalaldehyde (Cidex OPA?) and 0.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of gypsum casts ... -
Distribution of SCCmec-associated phenol-soluble modulin in staphylococci
(2012)The recently described phenol-soluble modulin PSM-mec was detected in S. aureus, S. epidermidis, S. fleuretti, S. hominis, S. pseudintermedius, S. saprophyticus, S. simulans and S. vitulinus from different hosts (humans, ... -
DNA MICROARRAY GENOTYPING AND VIRULENCE AND ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE GENE PROFILING OF METHICILLIN-RESISTANT Staphylococcus aureus BLOODSTREAM ISOLATES FROM RENAL PATIENTS
(2011)Thirty-six methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream isolates from renal patients were genetically characterized by DNA microarray analysis and spa typing. The isolates were highly clonal, belonging ... -
Does fluoride exposure impact on the human microbiome?
(2023)Fluoride is added to drinking water in some countries to prevent tooth decay (caries). There is no conclusive evidence that community water fluoridation (CWF) at WHO recommended concentrations for caries prevention has any ... -
Effect of surface contamination on re-osseointegration of dental implants surrounded by circumferential bone defects
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2009)This study was designed to evaluate the effect of surface contamination on re-osseointegration of dental implants surrounded by circumferential bone defect and to compare osseointegration around Osseotite® implants (Biomet ... -
The Effect of Text Message Reminders on Patient Compliance with Functional Appliance Therapy as Measured by Theramon Sensors
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2021)Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether text message reminders have an effect on patient compliance with twin block appliances. A secondary aim was to determine whether text message reminders influenced the ... -
EFFECTIVE CLEANING AND DECONTAMINATION OF THE INTERNAL AIR AND WATER CHANNELS, HEADS AND HEAD-GEARS OF MULTIPLE CONTRA ANGLE DENTAL HANDPIECES USING AN ENZYMATIC DETERGENT AND AUTOMATED WASHER DISINFECTION IN A DENTAL HOSPITAL SETTING
(2022)Background Dental handpieces (DHPs) are reusable invasive medical devices that must be cleaned, decontaminated, lubricated and steam sterilized after use. DHPs have a complex internal design including narrow channels, ... -
Emergence of Sequence Type 779 Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Harboring a Novel Pseudo Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec)-SCC-SCCCRISPR Composite Element in Irish Hospitals.
(2013)Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been a major cause of nosocomial infection in Irish hospitals for 4 decades, and replacement of predominant MRSA clones has occurred several times. An MRSA isolate ... -
AN EMERGING PANTON-VALENTINE (PVL)-POSITIVE CC5-METICILLIN-RESISTANT Staphylococcus aureus-IVc CLONE RECEOVERED FROM HOSPITAL AND COMMUNITY SETTINGS OVER A 17-YEAR PERIOD FROM 12 COUNTRIES INVESTIGATED BY WHOLE-GENOME SEQUENCING
(2023)Background A novel Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-positive meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clonal complex (CC)5-MRSA-IVc (‘Sri Lankan’ clone) was recently described from Sri Lanka. Similar isolates ... -
Enhanced Typing and Tracking of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-Susceptible S. aureus in Irish Hospitals using Whole-Genome Sequencing
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2019)Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are a major cause of healthcare-associated and community-associated infection worldwide, with many clones having achieved pandemic status. The development of high-throughput ... -
ENRICHMENT OF MULTILOCUS SEQUENCE TYPING CLADE 1 WITH ORAL CANDIDA ALBICANS ISOLATES IN PATIENTS WITH UNTREATED PERIODONTITIS
(2012)This study investigated the prevalence and cell density of Candida species in periodontal pockets, healthy subgingival sites and in oral rinses of patients with untreated periodontitis. Twenty-one periodontitis patients ... -
Epidemiological and Phylogenetic Investigation of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin-Positive Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Ireland and Internationally using Whole-Genome Sequencing
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2023)Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a successful modern pathogen associated with many clinical manifestations including asymptomatic colonisation, superficial skin infections and severe invasive diseases. ... -
EVA performance in zygomatic bone protection during sports practice: pilot numerical study
(European Society of Biomechanics, 2016)In sport competitions, facial bone fractures, particularly in the zygomatic bone,are becoming increasingly common. Thus, further studies on the material possibilities for an efficient protection ...
