Overcoming the red tape: The challenges of designing and evaluating a digital escape room platform. (2024)
Presentation / Conference
Jones, M., & Morgan, N. (2024, May). Overcoming the red tape: The challenges of designing and evaluating a digital escape room platform. Presented at Escape Rooms in Education 2024, Online

With students increasingly accessing content via digital sources rather than in-person due to factors including the increased cost of living, identifying new ways to engage students via digital mediums is paramount. One example of this is digital esc... Read More about Overcoming the red tape: The challenges of designing and evaluating a digital escape room platform..

Loss of Function in Escherichia coli Exposed to Environmentally Relevant Concentrations of Benzalkonium Chloride (2019)
Journal Article
Forbes, S., Morgan, N., Humphreys, G. J., Amézquita, A., Mistry, H., & McBain, A. J. (2019). Loss of Function in Escherichia coli Exposed to Environmentally Relevant Concentrations of Benzalkonium Chloride. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 85(4), https://doi.org/10.1128/aem.02417-18

Assessing the risk of resistance associated with biocide exposure commonly involves exposing microorganisms to biocides at concentrations close to the MIC. With the aim of representing exposure to environmental biocide residues, Escherichia coli MG16...

Formulation of Biocides Increases Antimicrobial Potency and Mitigates the Enrichment of Nonsusceptible Bacteria in Multispecies Biofilms (2017)
Journal Article
Forbes, S., Cowley, N., Humphreys, G., Mistry, H., Amézquita, A., & McBain, A. J. (2017). Formulation of Biocides Increases Antimicrobial Potency and Mitigates the Enrichment of Nonsusceptible Bacteria in Multispecies Biofilms. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 83(7), https://doi.org/10.1128/aem.03054-16

The current investigation aimed to generate data to inform the development of risk assessments of biocide usage. Stabilized domestic drain biofilm microcosms were exposed daily over 6 months to increasing concentrations (0.01% to 1%) of the biocide b...

Variable Effects of Exposure to Formulated Microbicides on Antibiotic Susceptibility in Firmicutes and Proteobacteria (2016)
Journal Article
Forbes, S., Knight, C. G., Cowley, N. L., Amézquita, A., McClure, P., Humphreys, G., & McBain, A. J. (2016). Variable Effects of Exposure to Formulated Microbicides on Antibiotic Susceptibility in Firmicutes and Proteobacteria. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 82(12), 3591-3598. https://doi.org/10.1128/aem.00701-16

Microbicides are broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents that generally interact with multiple pharmacological targets. While they are widely deployed in disinfectant, antiseptic, and preservative formulations, data relating to their potential to select...

Effects of Formulation on Microbicide Potency and Mitigation of the Development of Bacterial Insusceptibility (2015)
Journal Article
Cowley, N. L., Forbes, S., Amézquita, A., McClure, P., Humphreys, G. J., & McBain, A. J. (2015). Effects of Formulation on Microbicide Potency and Mitigation of the Development of Bacterial Insusceptibility. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 81(20), 7330-7338. https://doi.org/10.1128/aem.01985-15

Risk assessments of the potential for microbicides to select for reduced bacterial susceptibility have been based largely on data generated through the exposure of bacteria to microbicides in aqueous solution. Since microbicides are normally formulat... Read More about Effects of Formulation on Microbicide Potency and Mitigation of the Development of Bacterial Insusceptibility.
