LACK OF CYTOTOXICITY BY TRUSTWATER ECASOL? USED TO MAINTAIN GOOD QUALITY DENTAL UNIT WATERLINE OUTPUT WATER IN KERATINOCYTE MONOLAYER AND RECONSTITUTED HUMAN ORAL EPITHELIAL TISSUE MODELS
(2010)Summary: We previously showed that residual treatment of dental chair unit (DCU) supply water using the electrochemically-activated solution Trustwater Ecasol? (2.5 ppm) provided an effective long-term solution to the ... -
A longitudinal study of Staphylococcus aureus colonization in pigs in Ireland.
(2014)The emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in livestock has refocused attention on S. aureus colonization and transmission in pigs. This study investigated the effect of the S. aureus colonization ... -
Lower filamentation rates of Candida dubliniensis contribute to its lower virulence in comparison with Candida albicans
(Elsevier, 2007)Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are very closely related yeast species. In this study, we have conducted a thorough comparison of the ability of the two species to produce hyphae and their virulence in two ... -
MANAGEMENT OF DENTAL UNIT WATERLINE BIOFILMS IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
(2011)Dental chair units (DCUs) use water to cool and irrigate DCU-supplied instruments and tooth surfaces and provide rinsewater during dental treatment. A complex network of interconnected plastic dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) ... -
METICILLIN-RSISTANT Staphylococcus aureus TRANSMISSION AMONG HEALTHCARE WORKERS, PATIENTS AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN A LARGE ACUTE HOSPITAL UNDER NON-OUTBREAK CONDITIONS INVESTIGATED BY WHOLE-GENOME SEQUENCING
(2021)Background: The role of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization of healthcare workers (HCWs), patients and the hospital environment in MRSA transmission in non-outbreak settings is poorly understood. Aims: ... -
Meticillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus transmission among healthcare workers, patients and the environment in a large acute hospital under non-outbreak conditions investigated using whole-genome sequencing
(2022)Background: The role of meticillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) colonization of healthcare workers (HCWs), patients and the hospital environment in MSSA transmission events (TEs) is poorly understood. Aims: ... -
MICROBIOLOGICAL SCREENING OF IRISH AUTOIMMUNE POLYENDOCRINOPATHY-CANDIDIASIS-ECTODERMAL DYSTROPHY (APECED) PATIENTS REVEALS PERSISTENCE OF CANDIDA ALBICANS STRAINS, GRADUAL REDUCTION IN SUSCEPTIBILITY TO AZOLES AND INCIDENCES OF CLINICAL SIGNS OF ORAL CANDIDIASIS WITHOUT CULTURE EVIDENCE
(2011)Patients with Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy Candidiasis Ectodermal Dystrophy (APECED) are prone to chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, which is often treated with azoles. The purpose of this study was to characterize the ... -
MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY. PHYLOGENY AND EVOLUTION OF Candida albicans
(2014)A small number of Candida species form part of the normal microbial flora of mucosal surfaces in humans and may give rise to opportunistic infections when host defences are impaired. Candida albicans is by far the most ... -
MULTILOCUS SEQUENCE TYPING REVEALS THAT THE POPULATION STRUCTURE OF Candida dubliniensis IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS DIVERGENT THAN THAT OF Candida albicans
(2008)he pathogenic yeast Candida dubliniensis is phylogenetically very closely related to Candida albicans, and both species share many phenotypic and genetic characteristics. DNA fingerprinting using the species-specific probe ... -
Multilocus sequence typing reveals that the population structure of Candida dubliniensis is significantly less divergent than that of Candida albicans.
(2008)The pathogenic yeast Candida dubliniensis is phylogenetically very closely related to Candida albicans, and both species share many phenotypic and genetic characteristics. DNA fingerprinting using the species-specific probe ... -
MULTIPLE DISTINCT OUTBREAKS OF PANTON-VALENTINE LEUKOCIDIN (PVL)-POSITIVE COMMUNITY-ASSOCIATED METHICILLIN-RESISTANT Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) IN IRELAND INVESTIGATED BY WHOLE-GENOME SEQUENCING
(2021)Background: Panton–Valentine leucocidin (PVL)-positive community-associated meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is increasingly associated with infection outbreaks. Aim: To investigate multiple suspected ... -
NOVEL 5-FLUCYTOSINE-RESISTANT CLADE OF CANDIDA DUBLINIENSIS FROM SAUDI ARABIA AND EGYPT IDENTIFIED BY CD25 FINGERPRINTING.
(2005)DNA fingerprinting of Candida dubliniensis isolates using the species-specific probe Cd25 previously showed that this species consists of two distinct groups, termed Cd25 group I and Cd25 group II. The present study ... -
A novel multidrug-resistant PVL-negative CC1-MRSA-1 IV clone emerging in Ireland and Germany likely originated in South-Eastern Europe
(2019)This study investigated the recent emergence of multidrug-resistant Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-negative CC1-MRSA-IV in Ireland and Germany. Ten CC1-MSSA and 139 CC1-MRSA isolates recovered in Ireland between 2004 ... -
One year Survival Rate of Ketac Molar versus Vitro Molar for Occlusoproximal ART Restorations: a RCT.
(2017)Good survival rates for single-surface Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) restorations have been reported, while multi-surface ART restorations have not shown similar results. The aim of this ... -
PANTON-VALENTINE LEUKOCIDIN-POSITIVE STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS IN IRELAND 2002-2011: TWENTY-ONE CLONES, FREQUENT IMPORTATION OF CLONES, TEMPORAL SHIFTS OF PREDOMINANT METHICILLIN-RESISTANT S. AUREUS AND INCREASING MULTIRESISTANCE
(2014)There has been a worldwide increase in community-associated (CA) methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. CA-MRSA isolates commonly produce the Panton-Valentine leukocidin toxin encoded by the pvl ...
