Establishment of vaginal microbiota composition in early pregnancy and its association with subsequent preterm prelabor rupture of the fetal membranes (2018)
Journal Article
Lee, Y. S., Brown, R. G., Al-Memar, M., Marchesi, J. R., Smith, A., Chan, D., …MacIntyre, D. A. (2019). Establishment of vaginal microbiota composition in early pregnancy and its association with subsequent preterm prelabor rupture of the fetal membranes. Translational Research, The Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, 207, 30-43. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trsl.2018.12.005

© 2019 The Authors Vaginal bacterial community composition influences pregnancy outcome. Preterm prelabor rupture of the fetal membranes (PPROM), which precedes 30% of all spontaneous preterm births, is associated with high vaginal bacterial diversit...

© 2018 Society of Chemical Industry BACKGROUND: This research is focused on the effect of temperature on the growth of active biofilms on polypropylene (PP) filter media in aerobic fixed biofilm reactors (FBR) for wastewater treatment. RESULTS: High-... Read More about Investigation of the active biofilm communities on polypropylene filter media in a fixed biofilm reactor for wastewater treatment.

Nitrate-responsive oral microbiome modulates nitric oxide homeostasis and blood pressure in humans (2018)
Journal Article
L'Heureux, J. E., Jones, A. M., Vanhatalo, A., Blackwell, J. R., Williams, D. W., Smith, A., …van der Giezen, M. (2018). Nitrate-responsive oral microbiome modulates nitric oxide homeostasis and blood pressure in humans. Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 124, 21-30. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2018.05.078

© 2018 The Author(s) Imbalances in the oral microbial community have been associated with reduced cardiovascular and metabolic health. A possible mechanism linking the oral microbiota to health is the nitrate (NO3-)-nitrite (NO2-)-nitric oxide (NO) p...

Vaginal dysbiosis increases risk of preterm fetal membrane rupture, neonatal sepsis and is exacerbated by erythromycin (2018)
Journal Article
Kindinger, L. M., Brown, R. G., Terzidou, V., Marchesi, J. R., Lee, Y. S., Holmes, E., …MacIntyre, D. A. (2018). Vaginal dysbiosis increases risk of preterm fetal membrane rupture, neonatal sepsis and is exacerbated by erythromycin. BMC Medicine, 16(1), Article 9. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-017-0999-x

© 2018 The Author(s). Background: Preterm prelabour rupture of the fetal membranes (PPROM) precedes 30% of preterm births and is a risk factor for early onset neonatal sepsis. As PPROM is strongly associated with ascending vaginal infection, prophyla...
