Journal Article
Buttimer, C., Lucid, A., Neve, H., Franz, C., O’Mahony, J., Turner, D., …Coffey, A. (2018). Pectobacterium atrosepticum phage vB_PatP_CB5: A member of the proposed genus ‘Phimunavirus’. Viruses, 10(8), Article 394. https://doi.org/10.3390/v10080394

© 2018 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Pectobacterium atrosepticum is a phytopathogen of economic importance as it is the causative agent of potato blackleg and soft rot. Here we describe the Pectobacterium phage vB_PatP_CB5 (abbre... Read More about Pectobacterium atrosepticum phage vB_PatP_CB5: A member of the proposed genus ‘Phimunavirus’.

Isolation and characterisation of bacteriophages for use against biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Box, J., Turner, D., & Nelson, S. (2018, June). Isolation and characterisation of bacteriophages for use against biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates. Poster presented at Microbiology Society Early Career Microbiologists’ Forum Summer Conference, Birmingham, UK

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a World Health Organization priority 1, ESKAPE pathogen that is capable of causing a wide spectrum of nosocomial and community-acquired infections. It employs a wide range of antibiotic resistance mechanisms and is often dif...

The sequence of two bacteriophages with hypermodified bases reveals novel phage-host interactions (2018)
Journal Article
Kropinski, A., Turner, D., Nash, J., Ackermann, H. W., Lingohr, E., Warren, R., …Ehrlich, M. (2018). The sequence of two bacteriophages with hypermodified bases reveals novel phage-host interactions. Viruses, 10(5), Article 217. https://doi.org/10.3390/v10050217

© 2018 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Bacteriophages SP-15 and ΦW-14 are members of the Myoviridae infecting Bacillus subtilis and Delftia (formerly Pseudomonas) acidovorans, respectively. What links them is that in both cases, ap...
