Journal Article
Mills, B., Awais, R., Luckett, J., Turton, D., Williams, P., Perkins, A., & Hill, P. (2015). [18F]FDG-6-P as a novel in vivo tool for imaging staphylococcal infections. EJNMMI Research, 5, Article 13. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13550-015-0095-1

Background Management of infection is a major clinical problem. Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium which colonises approximately one third of the adult human population. Staphylococcal infections can be life-threatening and are frequ... Read More about [18F]FDG-6-P as a novel in vivo tool for imaging staphylococcal infections.

The opportunistic human pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is a major cause of infections in chronic wounds, burns and the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. The P. aeruginosa genome encodes at least three proteins exhibiting the characteristic three...

Combinatorial discovery of polymers resistant to bacterial attachment (2012)
Journal Article
Hook, A. L., Chang, C., Yang, J., Luckett, J., Cockayne, A., Atkinson, S., …Alexander, M. R. (2012). Combinatorial discovery of polymers resistant to bacterial attachment. Nature Biotechnology, 30(9), 868-875. https://doi.org/10.1038/nbt.2316

Bacterial attachment and subsequent biofilm formation pose key challenges to the optimal performance of medical devices. In this study, we determined the attachment of selected bacterial species to hundreds of polymeric materials in a high-throughput...
