Functional genomics of a symbiotic community : shared traits in the olive fruit fly gut microbiota (2019)
Journal Article
Blow, F., Gioti, A., Goodhead, I., Kalyva, M., Kampouraki, A., Vontas, J., & Darby, A. (2020). Functional genomics of a symbiotic community : shared traits in the olive fruit fly gut microbiota. Genome Biology and Evolution, 12(2), 3778-3791. https://doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evz258

The olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae is a major pest of olives worldwide and houses a specialized gut microbiota dominated by the obligate symbiont “Candidatus Erwinia dacicola”. Ca. E. dacicola is thought to supplement dietary nitrogen to the host,... Read More about Functional genomics of a symbiotic community : shared traits in the olive fruit fly gut microbiota.

Complex associations between cross-kingdom microbial endophytes and host genotype in ash dieback disease dynamics (2019)
Journal Article
Griffiths, S., Galambao, M., Rowntree, J., Goodhead, I., Hall, J., O'Brien, D., …Antwis, R. (2020). Complex associations between cross-kingdom microbial endophytes and host genotype in ash dieback disease dynamics. Journal of Ecology, 108(1), 291-309. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.13302

Tree pathogens are a major threat to forest ecosystems. Conservation management strategies can exploit natural mechanisms of resistance, such as tree genotype and host‐associated microbial communities. However, fungal and bacterial communities are ra...

Towards a clinically relevant model for investigation of host-microbe interactions in ventilator-associated pneumonia (2019)
Journal Article
Tompsett, A., Ngoc ngo, L., Goodhead, I., Withers, S., & Latimer, J. (2019). Towards a clinically relevant model for investigation of host-microbe interactions in ventilator-associated pneumonia. Access Microbiology, 1(1A), https://doi.org/10.1099/acmi.ac2019.po0422

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is amongst the most common healthcare-associated infections worldwide. Current understanding of the underlying mechanisms has focussed on either the microbiological or physiological elements but host-microbe inte...

Establishing Sodalis species as a laboratory model of endosymbionts (2019)
Thesis
Markham, T. Establishing Sodalis species as a laboratory model of endosymbionts. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Symbiosis is defined as the close and long relationship between two organisms. Establishment of new symbioses, or redefining relationships underpins much of the ecological diversity found in the natural world. Microbial symbionts, being some of the...
