Investigation of the microbiological profile of oral leukoplakia
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Dental Sciences. Discipline of Dental Science, 2019)Oral leukoplakia (OLK) presents as a white patch on the oral mucosa and is recognised as a potentially malignant lesion. Although colonisation of these patches with yeast such as Candida albicans has been reported, little ... -
An investigation into the biofilm-associated bacterial contamination of dental chair units and dental unit output water supplies and its control
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2005)Many modern medical devices, including dental chair units (DCUs), are potential reservoirs of infection as they can harbour biofilm-associated microorganisms. This study investigated several aspects of DCUs related to ... -
Investigation into the molecular mechanisms of itraconazole resistance in Candida dubliniensis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2003)Candida dubliniensis is a recently identified yeast species primarily associated with oral carriage and infection in HIV-infected individuals. Previous studies have shown that only a small number of clinical isolates are ... -
An investigation into the molecular epidemiology of Candida dubliniensis
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Dental Science, 2002)Candida dubliniensis is a recently described Candida species primarily associated with oral candidosis in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HlV)-infected and AIDS patients. The population structure of C. dubliniensis was ... -
