      • A multi-faceted approach to determining the efficacy of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles against bacterial biofilms 

        Tejpal, Jyoti; Cross, R. B. M.; Owen, Lucy; Paul, Shashi; Jenkins, R. O.; Armitage, David; Laird, Katie (Article)
        Antibacterial efficacy of nanoscale silver, copper (II) oxide and zinc oxide were assessed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus biofilms in solution and on surfaces. Using a Center for Disease Control ...
      • A Multifactorial Comparison of Ternary Combinations of Essential Oils in Topical Preparations to Current Antibiotic Prescription Therapies for the Control of Acne Vulgaris-Associated Bacteria. 

        Laird, Katie; Owen, Lucy; Ruiz-Rodado, Victor; Price, Penny; Grootveld, M.; Arroo, R. R. J. (Article)
        Acne vulgaris, a chronic condition associated with overgrowth of Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis, is commonly treated with antibiotics. However, the emergence of antibiotic resistance has resulted ...
      • The role of protective clothing in healthcare and its 
decontamination 

        Laird, Katie; Owen, Lucy (Book chapter)
        Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality and pose a major economic burden. Infection control is therefore important in healthcare environments to minimize the transmission ...
