1.
Ambient carbon dioxide concentration correlates with SARS-CoV-2 aerostability and infection risk
Haddrell A, Oswin H, Otero-Fernandez M, Robinson J, Cogan T, Alexander R, et al.
Nat Commun . 2024 Apr; 15(1):3487. PMID: 38664424
An improved understanding of the underlying physicochemical properties of respiratory aerosol that influence viral infectivity may open new avenues to mitigate the transmission of respiratory diseases such as COVID-19. Previous...
2.
Differences in airborne stability of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern is impacted by alkalinity of surrogates of respiratory aerosol
Haddrell A, Otero-Fernandez M, Oswin H, Cogan T, Bazire J, Tian J, et al.
J R Soc Interface . 2023 Jun; 20(203):20230062. PMID: 37340783
The mechanistic factors hypothesized to be key drivers for the loss of infectivity of viruses in the aerosol phase often remain speculative. Using a next-generation bioaerosol technology, we report measurements...

Oxidative Stress Contributes to Bacterial Airborne Loss of Viability
Oswin H, Haddrell A, Hughes C, Otero-Fernandez M, Thomas R, Reid J
Microbiol Spectr . 2023 Mar; :e0334722. PMID: 36912675
While the airborne decay of bacterial viability has been observed for decades, an understanding of the mechanisms driving the decay has remained elusive. The airborne transport of bacteria is often...

Mucin Transiently Sustains Coronavirus Infectivity through Heterogenous Changes in Phase Morphology of Evaporating Aerosol
Alexander R, Tian J, Haddrell A, Oswin H, Neal E, Hardy D, et al.
Viruses . 2022 Sep; 14(9). PMID: 36146663
Respiratory pathogens can be spread though the transmission of aerosolised expiratory secretions in the form of droplets or particulates. Understanding the fundamental aerosol parameters that govern how such pathogens survive...

Reply to Klein et al.: The importance of aerosol pH for airborne respiratory virus transmission
Oswin H, Haddrell A, Otero-Fernandez M, Mann J, Cogan T, Hilditch T, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 Aug; 119(39):e2212556119. PMID: 36037394

The dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 infectivity with changes in aerosol microenvironment
Oswin H, Haddrell A, Otero-Fernandez M, Mann J, Cogan T, Hilditch T, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 Jun; 119(27):e2200109119. PMID: 35763573
Understanding the factors that influence the airborne survival of viruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in aerosols is important for identifying routes of transmission and the...

Direct tandem mass spectrometry for the simultaneous assay of opioids, cocaine and metabolites in dried urine spots
Otero-Fernandez M, Cocho J, Tabernero M, Bermejo A, Bermejo-Barrera P, Moreda-Pineiro A
Anal Chim Acta . 2013 Jun; 784:25-32. PMID: 23746404
A micro-analytical method based on spotting urine samples (20μL) onto blood/urine spot collection cards followed by air-drying and extraction (dried urine spot, DUS) was developed and validated for the screening/confirmation...
