METICILLIN-RSISTANT Staphylococcus aureus TRANSMISSION AMONG HEALTHCARE WORKERS, PATIENTS AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN A LARGE ACUTE HOSPITAL UNDER NON-OUTBREAK CONDITIONS INVESTIGATED BY WHOLE-GENOME SEQUENCING
(2021)Background: The role of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization of healthcare workers (HCWs), patients and the hospital environment in MRSA transmission in non-outbreak settings is poorly understood. Aims: ... -
Meticillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus transmission among healthcare workers, patients and the environment in a large acute hospital under non-outbreak conditions investigated using whole-genome sequencing
(2022)Background: The role of meticillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) colonization of healthcare workers (HCWs), patients and the hospital environment in MSSA transmission events (TEs) is poorly understood. Aims: ... -
MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY. PHYLOGENY AND EVOLUTION OF Candida albicans
(2014)A small number of Candida species form part of the normal microbial flora of mucosal surfaces in humans and may give rise to opportunistic infections when host defences are impaired. Candida albicans is by far the most ... -
MULTILOCUS SEQUENCE TYPING REVEALS THAT THE POPULATION STRUCTURE OF Candida dubliniensis IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS DIVERGENT THAN THAT OF Candida albicans
(2008)he pathogenic yeast Candida dubliniensis is phylogenetically very closely related to Candida albicans, and both species share many phenotypic and genetic characteristics. DNA fingerprinting using the species-specific probe ... -
A novel multidrug-resistant PVL-negative CC1-MRSA-1 IV clone emerging in Ireland and Germany likely originated in South-Eastern Europe
(2019)This study investigated the recent emergence of multidrug-resistant Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-negative CC1-MRSA-IV in Ireland and Germany. Ten CC1-MSSA and 139 CC1-MRSA isolates recovered in Ireland between 2004 ... -
Pulp Vitality and Longevity of Adhesive Restorations Are Not Affected by Selective Carious Removal: A Multicenter Clinical Trial
(2021)The aim of this multicenter randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the pulp vitality and survival rate of adhesive restorations performed on posterior deciduous teeth after non-selective (NSCR) or selective (SCR) carious ... -
The role of the Mediator complex in fungal pathogenesis and response to antifungal agents.
(2023)Mediator is a complex of polypeptides that plays a central role in the recruitment of RNA polymerase II to promoters and subsequent transcriptional activation in eukaryotic organisms. Studies have now shown that Mediator ... -
A Ser29Leu SUBSTITUTION IN THE CYTOSINE DEAMINASE Fca1p IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CLADE-SPECIFIC 5-FLUCYTOSINE RESISTANCE IN Candida dubliniensis
(2009)The population structure of the opportunistic yeast pathogen Candida dubliniensis is composed of three main multilocus sequence typing clades (clades C1 to C3), and clade C3 predominantly consists of isolates from the ... -
Stainless steel crown vs bulk fill composites for the restoration of primary molars post-pulpectomy: 1-year survival and acceptance results of a randomized clinical trial
(2022)Background: A key factor for the success and longevity of the endodontic treatment is sealing of the cavity after restorative treatment. Aim: The aim of this randomised clinical trial was to evaluate the 1-year survival ... -
A susceptibility locus for lung cancer maps to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit genes on 15q25.
(2008)Abstract: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide, with over one million cases annually(1). To identify genetic factors that modify disease risk, we conducted a genome- wide association study by ... -
Tooth agenesis in patients referred to an Irish tertiary care clinic for the developmental dental disorders
(Irish Dental Association, 2010)PURPOSE: This study was carried out to determine the prevalence, severity and pattern of hypodontia in Irish patients referred to a tertiary care clinic for developmental dental disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Details ... -
Transcript profiling reveals rewiring of iron assimilation gene expression in Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis
(2012)Hyphal growth is repressed in Candida albicans and C. dubliniensis by the transcription factor Nrg1. Transcript profiling of a C. dubliniensis NRG1 mutant identified a common group of 28 NRG1 repressed genes in both species, ... -
Triclosan antagonises fluconazole activity against Candida albicans
(2012)Triclosan is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial compound commonly used in oral hygiene products. Investigation of its activity against Candida albicans showed that triclosan was fungicidal at concentrations of 16 mg/L. However, ... -
Use of rubber dam versus cotton roll isolation on composite resin restorations' survival in primary molars: 2-year results from a non-inferiority clinical trial.
(2022)Background: This non-inferiority randomised clinical trial aimed to evaluate the survival of direct bulk fill composite resin restorations in primary molars using different methods of moisture control: rubber dam isolation ...
