Clostridium difficile-mediated effects on human intestinal epithelia: Modelling host-pathogen interactions in a vertical diffusion chamber (2015)
Journal Article
Jafari, N. V., Kuehne, S. A., Minton, N. P., Allan, E., & Bajaj-Elliott, M. (2016). Clostridium difficile-mediated effects on human intestinal epithelia: Modelling host-pathogen interactions in a vertical diffusion chamber. Anaerobe, 37, 96-102. doi:10.1016/j.anaerobe.2015.12.007

Clostridium difficile infection is one of the leading causes of healthcare associated diarrhoea in the developed world. Although the contribution of C. difficile toxins to disease pathogenesis is now well understood, many facets of host-pathogen inte...

A universal mariner transposon system for forward genetic studies in the genus Clostridium (2015)
Journal Article
Zhang, Y., Grosse-Honebrink, A., & Minton, N. P. (2015). A universal mariner transposon system for forward genetic studies in the genus Clostridium. PLoS ONE, 10(4), 1-21. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0122411

DNA transposons represent an essential tool in the armoury of the molecular microbiologist. We previously developed a catP-based mini transposon system for Clostridium difficile in which the expression of the transposase gene was dependent on a sigma...
