Multilocus sequence typing of Cronobacter sakazakiiand Cronobacter malonaticusreveals stable clonal structures with clinical significance which do not correlate with biotypes (2009)

Baldwin, Adam, Loughlin, Michael, Caubilla-Barron, Juncal, Kucerova, Eva, Manning, Georgina, Dowson, Christopher, ...

Abstract Background The Cronobacter genus ( Enterobacter sakazakii ) has come to prominence due to its association with infant infections, and the ingestion of contaminated reconstituted infant...

Neonatal enteral feeding tubes as loci for colonisation by members of the Enterobacteriaceae (2009)

Hurrell, Edward, Kucerova, Eva, Loughlin, Michael, Caubilla-Barron, Juncal, Hilton, Anthony, Armstrong, Richard, ...

Abstract Background The objective of this study was to determine whether neonatal nasogastric enteral feeding tubes are colonised by the opportunistic pathogen Cronobacter spp. ( Enterobacter...

Virulence studies of Enterobacter sakazakiiisolates associated with a neonatal intensive care unit outbreak (2008)

Townsend, Stacy, Hurrell, Edward, Forsythe, Stephen

Abstract Background In 1994, an outbreak of Enterobacter sakazakii infections in France occurred in a neonatal intensive care unit during which 17 neonates were infected. More than half of the...

Carbon Fibre Composites: Integrated Electrochemical Sensors for Wound Management (2008)

Sharp, Duncan, Forsythe, Stephen, Davis, James

The applicability of employing a carbon fibre mesh as an electrochemical sensing substructure for assessing urate transformations within wound exudates is evaluated. Prototype sensor assemblies have...

Identification of Enterobacter sakazakiifrom closely related species: The use of Artificial Neural Networks in the analysis of biochemical and 16S rDNA data (2006)

Iversen, Carol, Lancashire, Lee, Waddington, Michael, Forsythe, Stephen, Ball, Graham

Abstract Background Enterobacter sakazakii is an emergent pathogen associated with ingestion of infant formula and accurate identification is important in both industrial and clinical settings....

Identification and Phylogeny of Enterobacter sakazakii Relative to Enterobacter and Citrobacter Species

Iversen, Carol, Waddington, Michael, On, Stephen L. W., Forsythe, Stephen

The phylogenetic relationships of Enterobacter sakazakii strains were investigated using 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and hsp60 sequencing. Each analysis distributed E. sakazakii strains among four...
