Identification and characterisation of bacteriocins from environmental samples active against strains of Clostridium difficile.

University of Nottingham School of Life Sciences

Clostridiodes difficile is a cause of neonatal enteritis in livestock such as pigs, cattle and horses. Affected animals develop respiratory problems, abdominal distention and bloody diarrhoea leading to weight loss and in extreme cases mortality. Read more

Elucidating the role of lipids in fibrotic capsule formation at the surface of implanted medical devices.

University of Nottingham School of Medicine

Implanted medical devices are crucial in healthcare, valued at around £400 billion globally, however there is a high failure rate, often due to the foreign body reaction, where a fibrotic capsule forms around the implant with associated inflammation, loosening and infection. Read more
