Polylysogeny magnifies competitiveness of a bacterial pathogen in vivo (2014)
Journal Article
Burns, N., James, C., & Harrison, E. (2015). Polylysogeny magnifies competitiveness of a bacterial pathogen in vivo. Evolutionary Applications, 8(4), 346-351. https://doi.org/10.1111/eva.12243

The rise of next generation sequencing is revealing a hidden diversity of temperate phages within the microbial community. While a handful of these phages have been well characterized, for the vast majority, the role of phage carriage, and especially...

Lytic activity by temperate phages of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in long-term cystic fibrosis chronic lung infections (2014)
Journal Article
James, C. E., Davies, E. V., Fothergill, J. L., Walshaw, M. J., Beale, C. M., Brockhurst, M. A., & Winstanley, C. (2015). Lytic activity by temperate phages of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in long-term cystic fibrosis chronic lung infections. ISME Journal, 9(6), 1391-1398. https://doi.org/10.1038/ismej.2014.223

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common bacterial pathogen infecting the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The transmissible Liverpool epidemic strain (LES) harbours multiple inducible prophages (LESϕ2; LESϕ3; LESϕ4; LESϕ5; and LESϕ6), some o...

Role of environmental survival in transmission of Campylobacter Jejuni (2014)
Journal Article
Bronowski, C., James, C., & Winstanley, C. (2014). Role of environmental survival in transmission of Campylobacter Jejuni. FEMS Microbiology Letters, 356(1), 8-19. https://doi.org/10.1111/1574-6968.12488

Campylobacter species are the most common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis, with C. jejuni responsible for the majority of these cases. Although it is clear that livestock, and particularly poultry, are the most common source, it is likely that the...
