Association of innate immune single-nucleotide polymorphisms with the electroencephalogram during desflurane general anaesthesia
(Springer, 2013)The electroencephalogram (EEG) records the electrical activity of the brain and enables effects of anaesthetic drugs on brain functioning to be monitored. Identification of genes contributing to EEG variability during ... -
Complete genome sequence of a New Zealand Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain responsible for ongoing transmission over the past 30 years.
(2022)We report here the complete genome sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain Colonial S-type 1 (CS1), which has been responsible for ongoing outbreaks of tuberculosis in New Zealand over the past 30 years. CS1 appears ... -
Connexin36 knockout mice display increased sensitivity to pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure-like behaviors
(Elsevier, 2010)Large-scale synchronous firing of neurons during seizures is modulated by electrotonic coupling between neurons via gap junctions. To explore roles for connexin36 (Cx36) gap junctions in seizures, we examined the seizure ... -
The controlled in vitro susceptibility of gastrointestinal pathogens to the antibacterial effect of manuka honey
(Springer, 2011)The susceptibility of common gastrointestinal bacteria against manuka honey with median level non-peroxide antibacterial activity (equivalent to that of 16.5% phenol) was investigated by determining the minimum inhibitory ... -
Determination of ribonuclease sequence-specificity using Pentaprobes and mass spectrometry
(RNA Society, 2012)The VapBC toxin-antitoxin (TA) family is the largest of nine identified TA families. The toxin, VapC, is a metal-dependent ribonuclease that is inhibited by its cognate antitoxin, VapB. Although the VapBCs are the largest ...

Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus in New Zealand horses
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus (S. zooepidemicus) is an opportunistic commensal bacterium of the horse mucosa causing disease in susceptible populations. This research sets out to enhance the understanding of S. ... -
Comparative safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic evaluation of three oral selenium compounds in cancer patients
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element involved in many biological processes in humans. Se compounds have demonstrated growth inhibition of malignant cells and tumours in many experimental models. Furthermore, combining ... -
The structure and function of a bovine salivary protein - BSP30b
(The University of Waikato, 2019)The Bovine Salivary Protein 30b (BSP30b) is a member of the palate, lung, and nasal epithelium clone (PLUNC) family which includes human bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) and lipopolysaccaride binding ... -
Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in New Zealand: phylogeny and structural biology
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an obligate human pathogen and is the primary causative agent of tuberculosis. New Zealand has a relatively low incidence of tuberculosis disease, however, Māori (the indigenous people of New ... -
Investigating molecular approaches for detection of pathogens in horses
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Infectious disease of equines has significant impacts on the New Zealand equine industry, causing avoidable morbidity and mortality. The correct identification of the aetiological agents involved in such infections allows ...
