J Infect Dis . 2023 May; 228(7):957-965. PMID: 37246259
Background: Immunity to Streptococcus pyogenes in high burden settings is poorly understood. We explored S. pyogenes nasopharyngeal colonization after intranasal live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) among Gambian children aged 24-59...

Vaccines (Basel) . 2021 Sep; 9(9). PMID: 34579262
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is an important global human pathogen, with a wide range of disease presentations, from mild mucosal infections like pharyngitis to invasive diseases such as toxic shock...

Dawson L, Peltier J, Hall C, Harrison M, Derakhshan M, Shaw H, et al.
Sci Rep . 2021 Feb; 11(1):3244. PMID: 33547340
Clostridioides difficile is the leading cause of nosocomial antibiotic-associated diarrhoea worldwide, yet there is little insight into intestinal tract colonisation and relapse. In many bacterial species, the secondary messenger cyclic-di-GMP...

Peltier J, Shaw H, Wren B, Fairweather N
Sci Rep . 2017 Aug; 7(1):9204. PMID: 28835650
Clostridium difficile is a gastrointestinal pathogen but how the bacterium colonises this niche is still little understood. Sortase enzymes covalently attach specific bacterial proteins to the peptidoglycan cell wall and...

Peltier J, Shaw H, Couchman E, Dawson L, Yu L, Choudhary J, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2015 Aug; 290(40):24453-69. PMID: 26283789
In Gram-positive pathogens, surface proteins may be covalently anchored to the bacterial peptidoglycan by sortase, a cysteine transpeptidase enzyme. In contrast to other Gram-positive bacteria, only one single sortase enzyme,...

Mol Microbiol . 2009 Aug; 74(3):541-56. PMID: 19656296
Clostridium difficile is a nosocomial pathogen that can cause severe gastrointestinal infections. C. difficile encodes a family of cell wall proteins, some of which are implicated in pathogenesis. Here we...
