Conditioning fluid influences on the surface properties of silicone and polyurethane peritoneal catheters: implications for infection
Gorman S, Jones D, Mawhinney W, McGovern J, Adair C
J Mater Sci Mater Med . 2004 Sep; 8(10):631-5. PMID: 15348832
Catheter-related infection remains a considerable problem in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This study examined the adherence of clinical isolates of Staphylococcus epidermidis to commercially available polyurethane and silicone peritoneal...

Conditioning film and environmental effects on the adherence of Candida spp. to silicone and poly(vinylchloride) biomaterials
Jones D, McGovern J, Adair C, Woolfson A, Gorman S
J Mater Sci Mater Med . 2004 Sep; 12(5):399-405. PMID: 15348278
The reported incidence of colonization of oropharyngeal medical devices with Candida spp. has increased in recent years, although few studies that have systematically examined the adherence of yeast cells to...

The concomitant development of poly(vinyl chloride)-related biofilm and antimicrobial resistance in relation to ventilator-associated pneumonia
Gorman S, McGovern J, Woolfson A, Adair C, Jones D
Biomaterials . 2001 Sep; 22(20):2741-7. PMID: 11545308
Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a major cause of death in intensive care patients and the endotracheal tube, commonly fabricated from poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), is acknowledged as a significant factor in this....

Determination of the salivary retention of hexetidine in-vivo by high-performance liquid chromatography
McCoy C, Jones D, McGovern J, Gorman S, Woolfson A
J Pharm Pharmacol . 2001 Feb; 52(11):1355-9. PMID: 11186243
The non-antibiotic antimicrobial agent hexetidine is widely used at a concentration of 0.1% w/v as an oral rinse to reduce the number of viable microorganisms within the oral cavity. However,...

The effects of hexetidine (Oraldene) on the adherence of Candida albicans to human buccal epithelial cells in vitro and ex vivo and on in vitro morphogenesis
Jones D, McGovern J, Woolfson A, Gorman S
Pharm Res . 1998 Feb; 14(12):1765-71. PMID: 9453066
Purpose: This study reports the effects of hexetidine (Oraldene) on two virulence attributes of Candida albicans, namely, in vitro and ex vivo adherence of yeast cells to buccal epithelial cells...

Role of physiological conditions in the oropharynx on the adherence of respiratory bacterial isolates to endotracheal tube poly(vinyl chloride)
Jones D, McGovern J, Woolfson A, Gorman S
Biomaterials . 1997 Mar; 18(6):503-10. PMID: 9111955
Pneumonia is a major problem in intensive care patients and can be induced by pathogenic bacteria adhering to poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) endotracheal (ET) tubes. This study examines the influence of...

Frequency distribution of Candida albicans blastospores adhered to mucosal epithelial cells in-vitro
Gorman S, Jones D, McGovern J, Woolfson A
J Pharm Pharmacol . 1996 Dec; 48(12):1315-9. PMID: 9004197
Although several methods are available for examination of microbial adherence to epithelial cells, these do not distinguish between adherence of viable and non-viable micro-organisms. This study reports the use of...
