Low light optical detection of whole-cell bioluminescent bacterial bioreporters for visualisation of surface decontamination using nonthermal plasma (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Robinson, G. M., Thorn, R., Hancock, C., & Reynolds, D. M. (2013, May). Low light optical detection of whole-cell bioluminescent bacterial bioreporters for visualisation of surface decontamination using nonthermal plasma. Paper presented at 3rd International Conference on Bio-Sensing Technology, Sitges, Spain

Introduction: Maintenance of a clean, uncontaminated healthcare environment is instrumental in the delivery of modern healthcare. Nonthermal plasma is a technology with potential applications for sterilisation and disinfection in biological and medi...

Comparative antimicrobial activities of aerosolized sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, and electrochemically activated solutions evaluated using a novel standardized assay (2013)
Journal Article
Reynolds, D. M., Thorn, R. M., Thorn, R., Reynolds, D. M., & Robinson, G. M. (2013). Comparative antimicrobial activities of aerosolized sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, and electrochemically activated solutions evaluated using a novel standardized assay. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 57(5), 2216-2225. https://doi.org/10.1128/AAC.02589-12

The main aim of this study was to develop a standardized experimental assay to enable differential antimicrobial comparisons of test biocidal aerosols. This study represents the first chlorine-matched comparative assessment of the antimicrobial activ...

CoreGenes3.5: A webserver for the determination of core genes from sets of viral and small bacterial genomes (2013)
Journal Article
Turner, D., Reynolds, D., Seto, D., & Mahadevan, P. (2013). CoreGenes3.5: A webserver for the determination of core genes from sets of viral and small bacterial genomes. BMC Research Notes, 6(1), 140. https://doi.org/10.1186/1756-0500-6-140

Background: CoreGenes3.5 is a webserver that determines sets of core genes from viral and small bacterial genomes as an automated batch process. Previous versions of CoreGenes have been used to classify bacteriophage genomes and mine data from pathog...

Detection of intracellular ara-C/ara-CTP following treatment with the new anti-leukemic drug elacytarabine using a bioluminescent bacterial biosensor (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Robinson, G. M., Anderson, E., Salisbury, V., Mehta, P., Sandvold, M., & Reynolds, D. M. (2013, April). Detection of intracellular ara-C/ara-CTP following treatment with the new anti-leukemic drug elacytarabine using a bioluminescent bacterial biosensor. Poster presented at American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting, Washington D.C., USA

Cytarabine (ara-C) is an analogue of deoxycytidine with an established role in treating AML. Cytarabine depends on the human equilibrative nucleoside transporter-1 (hENT-1) for cellular entry (1). Loss of hENT-1 function in vitro has been shown to re...

The effect of long-term storage on the physiochemical and bactericidal properties of electrochemically activated solutions (2013)
Journal Article
Robinson, G., Thorn, R., & Reynolds, D. (2013). The effect of long-term storage on the physiochemical and bactericidal properties of electrochemically activated solutions. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 14(1), 457-469. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms14010457

Electrochemically activated solutions (ECAS) are generated by electrolysis of NaCl solutions, and demonstrate broad spectrum antimicrobial activity and high environmental compatibility. The biocidal efficacy of ECAS at the point of production is wide...
