What's a SNP between friends: The lineage of Clostridioides difficile R20291 can effect research outcomes (2021)
Journal Article
Monteford, J., Bilverstone, T. W., Ingle, P., Philip, S., Kuehne, S. A., & Minton, N. P. (2021). What's a SNP between friends: The lineage of Clostridioides difficile R20291 can effect research outcomes. Anaerobe, 71, Article 102422. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anaerobe.2021.102422

Clostridioides difficile R20291 is the most studied PCR-Ribotype 027 isolate. The two predominant lineages of this hypervirulent strain, however, exhibit substantive phenotypic differences and possess genomes that differ by a small number of nucleoti...

A novel conjugal donor strain for improved DNA transfer into Clostridium spp. (2019)
Journal Article
Woods, C., Humphreys, C. M., Rodrigues, R. M., Ingle, P., Rowe, P., Henstra, A. M., …Minton, N. P. (2019). A novel conjugal donor strain for improved DNA transfer into Clostridium spp. Anaerobe, 59, 184-191. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anaerobe.2019.06.020

© 2019 The Authors Importance: The ability to transfer genetic material into a target organism is crucial for the development of a wide range of targeted genetic manipulation techniques. Overcoming the organisms’ native restriction systems which targ... Read More about A novel conjugal donor strain for improved DNA transfer into Clostridium spp..

Generation of a fully erythromycin-sensitive strain of Clostridioides difficile using a novel CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system (2019)
Journal Article
Ingle, P., Groothuis, D., Rowe, P., Huang, H., Cockayne, A., Kuehne, S. A., …Minton, N. P. (2019). Generation of a fully erythromycin-sensitive strain of Clostridioides difficile using a novel CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system. Scientific Reports, 9, Article 8123. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-44458-y

© 2019, The Author(s). Understanding the molecular pathogenesis of Clostridioides difficile has relied on the use of ermB-based mutagens in erythromycin-sensitive strains. However, the repeated subcultures required to isolate sensitive variants can l...
