Summary Background There has been an increase in the number of carbapenemase-producing organisms documented across the UK over the past 10 years. From these, the ‘big five’ carbapenemases (KPC, OXA-48, IMP, VIM, and NDM) are the most common types r...

Background: Over the last decade there has been a rapid, worldwide increase in carbapenem resistance, which is of growing concern. The main protagonists, the carbapenemases Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), oxacillinase β-lactamase 48 (OXA-4...

An in vitro biofilm model of Staphylococcus aureus infection of bone (2019)
Journal Article
Sweeney, E., Lovering, A., Bowker, K., MacGowan, A., & Nelson, S. (2019). An in vitro biofilm model of Staphylococcus aureus infection of bone. Letters in Applied Microbiology, 68(4), 294-302. https://doi.org/10.1111/lam.13131

Chronic osteomyelitis is difficult to treat, with biofilm growth and the diffusion barrier to antibiotics presented by bone contributory factors. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate an invitro model of osteomyelitis. A bioluminescent st... Read More about An in vitro biofilm model of Staphylococcus aureus infection of bone.
