Antimicrobial Surface Coatings For Controlling Transmission Of Infection (2024)
Thesis
Paulukiewicz, B. (2024). Antimicrobial Surface Coatings For Controlling Transmission Of Infection. (Thesis). University of Salford

When patients undergo significant medical treatment, they will often spend multiple days in hospital. As a result of this prolonged stay in healthcare settings the risk of developing an infection increases. Infections which arise during a stay in a...

Assessment of an ex vivo porcine lung model to investigate host-microbe interactions in cases of ventilator associated pneumonia (2021)
Thesis
Barber, E. (in press). Assessment of an ex vivo porcine lung model to investigate host-microbe interactions in cases of ventilator associated pneumonia. (Dissertation). University of Salford

VAP is described as a pneumonic lung infection afflicting those that have been mechanically ventilated typically with an endotracheal tube. Unfortunately, there is no singular diagnostic test for VAP (Grossman & Fein, 2000) or ‘gold standard’ for the...

Proinflammatory cytokines as mediators of phenotypic change in bacteria implicated in ventilator-associated pneumonia (2021)
Thesis
Tompsett, A. Proinflammatory cytokines as mediators of phenotypic change in bacteria implicated in ventilator-associated pneumonia. (Thesis). University of Salford

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common hospital-acquired infection in intensive care. VAP is associated with increased hospital stay, healthcare costs, and high mortality. VAP is difficult to diagnose and manage appropriately, leading to w...
