Journal Article
Salisbury, V. C., Taylor, E. L., Cooper, A. A., & Nelson, S. (2003). Use of bioluminescent Escherichia coli O157:H7 to study intra-protozoan survival of bacteria within Tetrahymena pyriformis. FEMS Microbiology Letters, 223(1), 95-99. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0378-1097%2803%2900349-5

A method was developed that enabled real-time monitoring of the uptake and survival of bioluminescent Escherichia coli O157 within the freshwater ciliate Tetrahymena pyriformis. Constitutively bioluminescent E. coli O157 pLITE27 was cocultured with T...

Prevalence of Carbapenemase Producing Organisms in East London, UK
Presentation / Conference
Henderson, J., Ciesielczuk, H., & Nelson, S. Prevalence of Carbapenemase Producing Organisms in East London, UK. Poster presented at American Society for Microbiology, Microbe 2019, San Francisco, USA

Carbapenemases are enzymes, produced by an array of common Gram-negative organisms, which hydrolyse the carbapenem antibiotics, conferring resistance. The main protagonists are the “big five” carbapenemases, KPC, OXA-48, IMP, VIM and NDM, which have... Read More about Prevalence of Carbapenemase Producing Organisms in East London, UK.
