Biologization and its correlates
Overview
Much theoretical work has revealed that metaphors defining enemies as cancers or viruses exacerbate perceptions of threat toward outgroup members and provide individuals with a justification for aggressive behaviors. This sociopsychologi...

Storage stability of non-encapsulated pneumococci in saliva is dependent on null-capsule clade, with strains carrying aliC and aliD showing a competitive disadvantage during culture enrichment
Abstract
Background Non-encapsulated Streptococcus pneumoniae (NESp) represent up to 19% of circulating pneumococci and exhibit high rates of antimicrobial resistance. Saliva is increasingly used as a pneumococcal carriage study specimen, and we...

An abundance of aliC and aliD genes were identified in saliva using a novel multiplex qPCR to characterize group II non-encapsulated pneumococci with improved specificity
Abstract
Background Surveillance of pneumococcus is reporting increasing prevalence of non-encapsulated pneumococci (NESp). NESp are an important reservoir for genetic exchange among streptococci, including for antimicrobial resistance (AMR), an...

MRes Thesis: Antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance
Abstract
In order to curb the concerning rise in antimicrobial resistance, novel antimicrobials, particularly against multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria, must be developed. The Gram-negative outer membrane (OM) and its biosynthetic path...
