Characterising the bacterial microbiota of Phlebotomus and Glossina insects : vectors of parasitic diseases (2021)
Thesis
Pescod, P. (2021). Characterising the bacterial microbiota of Phlebotomus and Glossina insects : vectors of parasitic diseases. (Thesis). University of Salford

As the technology used to examine bacteria using culture-independent methods has advanced, so too has our knowledge of the bacterial microbiome of insect vectors and its effect on the pathogens they carry. Trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis are neglec... Read More about Characterising the bacterial microbiota of Phlebotomus and Glossina insects : vectors of parasitic diseases.

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...
