In the last two decades enterococci, especially E. faecium, have emerged as a major cause of nosocomial infection. A knowledge of their epidemiology within the hospital environment is crucial for the implementation of effective infection control meas... Read More about PCR Typing of Enterococcus faecium.

Dynamics of Enterococcus faecalis Colonization of Bone Marrow Transplant Patients (1997)
Book Chapter
Pasquarella, C., Morrison, D., Savino, A., & Cookson, B. D. (1997). Dynamics of Enterococcus faecalis Colonization of Bone Marrow Transplant Patients. In Streptococci and the Host (275-279). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4899-1825-3_68

Enterococci have become increasingly important as a cause of hospital acquired infections. They are reported to be the third commonest cause of hospital acquired infections, responsible for approximately 10.7% of such infections. Furthermore, enteroc...

Strains of Glycopeptide-Resistant Enterococcus faecium Can Alter Their van Genotypes during an Outbreak (1997)
Journal Article
Woodford, N., Chadwick, P. R., Morrison, D., & Cookson, B. D. (1997). Strains of Glycopeptide-Resistant Enterococcus faecium Can Alter Their van Genotypes during an Outbreak. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 35(11), 2966-2968

Two isolates of Enterococcus faecium with VanA glycopeptide resistance were isolated during a hospital outbreak of E. faecium with plasmid-mediated VanB resistance. Both were found to be identical to the VanB outbreak strain by pulsed-field gel elect...

Fungal interactions with metals and radionuclides for environmental bioremediation (1996)
Book Chapter
Singleton, I., & Tobin, J. M. (1996). Fungal interactions with metals and radionuclides for environmental bioremediation. In J. C. Frankland, N. Magan, & G. M. Gadd (Eds.), Fungi and environmental change (282-298). Cambridge University Press. https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511753190.018

Microorganisms, including fungi, are known to accumulate metals from their external environment and the possibility of using fungi as a means of treating metal/radionuclide-containing effluents is well recognized (Siegel, Galun & Siegel, 1990; Gadd,...

Factors affecting silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1996)
Journal Article
Singleton, I., & Simmons, P. (1996). Factors affecting silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, 65(1), 21-28. https://doi.org/10.1002/%28SICI%291097-4660%28199601%2965%3A13.0.CO%3B2-E

Factors affecting silver biosorption by Saccharomyces cerevisiae biomass, obtained as a waste product from industry, were examined. Maximum removal of silver from solution was achieved within 5 min. Increasing the concentration of biomass in experime... Read More about Factors affecting silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Metal cation uptake by yeast: a review (1995)
Journal Article
Blackwell, K. J., Singleton, I., & Tobin, J. M. (1995). Metal cation uptake by yeast: a review. Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 43(4), 579-584. https://doi.org/10.1007/s002530050454

This review addresses metal uptake specifically by yeast. Metal uptake may be passive, active or both, depending on the viability of the biomass, and is influenced by a number of environmental and experimental factors. Uptake is typically accompanied...

Microbial metabolism of xenobiotics: Fundamental and applied research (1994)
Journal Article
Singleton, I. (1994). Microbial metabolism of xenobiotics: Fundamental and applied research. Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, 59(1), 9-23. doi:10.1002/jctb.280590104

The ability of microorganisms to metabolise xenobiotic compounds has received much attention due to the environmental persistence and toxicity of these chemicals. The microbial degradation of xenobiotics is seen as a cost effective method of removing... Read More about Microbial metabolism of xenobiotics: Fundamental and applied research.
