A multi-scale analysis of the microbial response of Listeria to novel processing technologies, as affected by system (micro)structure and natural microflora
Creators: name: Costello, Katherine M.
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Minimal food processing methods, e.g. cold atmospheric plasma (CAP), ultrasound and the use of natural antimicrobials, are of interest to replace traditional decontamination techniques, as they are milder and thus maintain “fresh-like” food characteristics. Synergistically combining these techniques can increase the inactivation efficiency by acting as a hurdle for microbial growth. However, the efficacy and mechanism of action of combined treatments remains unclear, potentially leading instead to stress adaptation, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) development and/or post-treatment bacterial survival. Natural microflora present in foods could also present a challenge to microbial growth. Most studies on the inactivation of food-related pathogens by these novel processing methods are conducted in liquid broths, or in/on specific food products. However, many foods are solid(like) e.g. soft cheeses, meats, and studies in real foods are informative only for the product studied. Food structure can impact the non-thermal processing efficacy, and the diffusion/efficacy of natural antimicrobials. This thesis presents, for the first time, a fundamental study on microbial inactivation by natural antimicrobials, ultrasound and/or CAP in structured food model systems of controlled rheological composition and complexity. In this thesis, viscoelastic food models of various compositions and (micro)structural characteristics are developed and characterised. Significant structural effects are identified on a microscopic scale, i.e. the system viscosity and growth morphology (surface/immersed/planktonic) affect Listeria colony size and growth location/distribution. Selective surface growth on the protein phase of a complex biphasic protein-polysaccharide model system is observed for the first time. Furthermore, the efficacy of combined novel processing technologies is shown to depend on the microbial species, the system viscosity, the growth morphology (surface/immersed/planktonic), and the order in which treatments are applied. This work sheds light on the combined efficacy of novel processing techniques for the inactivation of Listeria in structured food models, highlighting the importance of accounting for structural effects when designing inactivation processes for the food industry.
Characteristics of Trips and Travellers in Private and Public Transportation in the Danish Travel Survey data
Creators: name: Anderson, Marie K. A.
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2010

description: This paper is motivated by a growing interest in providing greater insight into the travel habits of Danish travellers. The analysis is conducted on the data collected in the Danish Travel Survey (in Danish: Transportvaneundersøgelsen, TU) from 2006 to 2009. The investigation of these data enables pointing out which travellers’ and trips’ characteristics to pay special attention to when examining the choice between private and public transportation. This is important for the future estimation of mode choice and public route choice models, but also for the general knowledge about which issues should be taken into account when trying to improve the conditions for public transport users and which initiatives could convince more people to travel by public transport. The analyses show that income is very important for the choice between public and private transportation since income also reflects gender, place of resident, etc.

Trainee Counselling Psychologists Experience and Management of Countertransference: A Critical Narrative Analysis
Creators: name: BODEN, MARK DAVID
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2021

description: The concept of countertransference, which refers to the emotional response of the therapist to their client, has been at the heart of theoretical debates and clinical practice within both psychotherapy and psychology. Most of the literature on countertransference has either been written by experienced therapists, with the empirical literature focusing on trained therapists. There is a relative neglect of trainee psychologist and psychotherapist’s experience of countertransference particular among trainee counselling psychologists. This study aims to address this gap by exploring the narratives around the area of countertransference as told by seven participants all of whom are trainee counselling psychologists based in the UK. Participants took part in semi-structured interviews, which were analysed using the Critical Narrative Approach (CNA). CNA brings together a focus on how people narrate their lives to form a meaningful whole and how in this process a narrative identity: a sense of self both for ourselves and others is constituted. CNA involves six stages of analysis beginning with the analysis of the preconceptions of the researcher with stage two identifying narratives and stage three exploring the narratives tone and rhetorical function. Stage four explores how identities are constructed or projected in the text and the fifth stage identifies important themes and relationships between these themes. Within the sixth stage, the narratives are subjected to critique, which in the case of this research is from a Foucauldian perspective on power relations as they operate in relation to therapeutic practice/action and Lacan’s ethics of responsibility. Finally, the results of all previous stages were presented and discussed. The findings suggested that countertransference has a significant influence on trainee’s personal and professional identity with trainees in their stories talking about their lack of awareness of countertransference and their often feeling powerless or angry and frustrated with clients. It was recommended that more reflective training may help trainee’s navigate the difficulties in their experience and management of countertransference.
Vindolanda: A Roman Military Settlement as a Legal Model of Integration
Creators: name: DI DONATO, GIUSEPPE

Subjects: Vindolanda Tablet
Roman Military Law
Praefectus Cohortis
Decurio
Centurio

description: This study identifies and analyses the legal rules followed in Vindolanda, a Roman military settlement erected in the first century AD to separate the Roman province of Britannia from the unconquered Caledonia. In particular, the focus is on the rules followed by military officers of different ranks stationed therein and the legal powers held by them. This subject has scarcely been explored by Roman law scholars due both to the paucity of Roman legal sources on this point and the traditional conception of Roman military law as of secondary relevance in comparison with Roman private law (although, recently, this opinion has been changing). In addition, such an investigation aims to shed light on the processes of integration and Romanisation put in place in Vindolanda, where soldiers of different origins lived together.

description:

description: For this purpose, the study considers the Vindolanda tablets, a conspicuous corpus of messages written by the inhabitants of Vindolanda. These tablets, unearthed by archaeologists and whose text has been restored by philologists, palaeographers, and papyrologists, are firstly examined from the legal perspective, to identify the legal rules implied or, sometimes, explicitly enunciated by them. Subsequently, these legal norms are considered collectively, to grasp some common tendencies and, consequently, appreciate the legal integration between different people in Vindolanda.

description:

description: Eventually, these legal rules are compared with Roman legal rules, to verify to what extent they adhered to the ‘Roman model’.

description:

description: It is possible to conclude that in Vindolanda some Roman legal rules were applied without exceptions, such as the use of the Latin, the official language of the Empire; the prohibition on withdrawing an accusation; and the principle of collegiality in establishing a penalty. Not unexpectedly, in Vindolanda, that is, a Roman military settlement far from Rome, and, consequently, less subject to control, other Roman principles were adapted to its specific reality. For instance, the praefect granted leave, in spite of the Roman legal rules that thwarted this practice, and the presence of women is well attested, notwithstanding the prohibition on them to stay in military camps.

description:

description: What emerges is a climate of trust and collaboration, determined by the adherence to common rules, partly corresponding to Roman law.

description: Background: Streetcar or train tracks in urban areas are difficult for bicyclists to negotiate and are a cause of crashes and injuries. This study used mixed methods to identify measures to prevent such crashes, by examining track-related crashes that resulted in injuries to cyclists, and obtaining information from the local transit agency and bike shops. Methods We compared personal, trip, and route infrastructure characteristics of 87 crashes directly involving streetcar or train tracks to 189 crashes in other circumstances in Toronto, Canada. We complemented this with engineering information about the rail systems, interviews of personnel at seven bike shops about advice they provide to customers, and width measurements of tires on commonly sold bikes. Results In our study, 32 % of injured cyclists had crashes that directly involved tracks. The vast majority resulted from the bike tire being caught in the rail flangeway (gap in the road surface alongside rails), often when cyclists made unplanned maneuvers to avoid a collision. Track crashes were more common on major city streets with parked cars and no bike infrastructure, with left turns at intersections, with hybrid, racing and city bikes, among less experienced and less frequent bicyclists, and among women. Commonly sold bikes typically had tire widths narrower than the smallest track flangeways. There were no track crashes in route sections where streetcars and trains had dedicated rights of way. Conclusions Given our results, prevention efforts might be directed at individual knowledge, bicycle tires, or route design, but their potential for success is likely to differ. Although it may be possible to reach a broader audience with continued advice about how to avoid track crashes, the persistence and frequency of these crashes and their unpredictable circumstances indicates that other solutions are needed. Using tires wider than streetcar or train flangeways could prevent some crashes, though there are other considerations that lead many cyclists to have narrower tires. To prevent the majority of track-involved injuries, route design measures including dedicated rail rights of way, cycle tracks (physically separated bike lanes), and protected intersections would be the best strategy.

description: Danskernes rejsevaner er beskrevet ved to større rejsevaneundersøgelser, Transportvaneundersøgelsen, TU er den mest omfattende og beskriver danskernes daglige rejseaktiviteter, mens Ferie- og Forretningsrejseundersøgelsen, FFU beskriver danskernes rejser med overnatninger. Danskerne rejser samlet set over 2 mia. ture og omkring 90 mia. km om året, når rejseafstande måles i luftlinje afstande. Langt de fleste ture er daglige gøremål, som hovedsagligt ligger indenfor en radius på 50 km. De fleste rejste kilometre stammer fra lange rejser, hvilket i høj grad er fra ferie, fritids- og erhvervsrelaterede rejser. Betragtes antallet af rejste kilometer, stammer omkring 60 % af de rejste kilometre fra rejser som inkluderer overnatning, selvom de kun udgør omkring 3 % af det samlede antal rejser. Lange rejser defineres ofte ud fra et antal rejste km, der ofte er sat til 100 km, men kan også defineres ud fra hvorvidt de inkluderer overnatninger eller ej. I mange tilfælde udelukker det ene ikke det andet, da de fleste ture over en vis afstand normalt også inkluderer en overnatning. Men en mindre andel daglige rejser er over 100 km uden overnatning ligesom en andel rejser med overnatninger ligger indenfor 100 km radius. I artiklen arbejdes med definitionen af lange rejser i dansk kontekst ligesom danskernes rejsevaner fra TU og FFU analyseres for at udpege særligt karakteristika for forskellige rejseformål og for samlet set at vurdere danskernes transportomfang.

CSR in the succession of family-run business : employee attitudes and CSR perceptions in Eastern Thailand companies.
Creators: name: Laysiriroj, Sapanna
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: This research focusses on transitions between the 1st and 2nd generation of Thai family-run businesses (FRBs) and how CSR is involved. It investigates the differences between CSR of the two generations as well as how their actions affect employee attitudes and the perceptions of CSR by the employees. FRBs, especially small- and medium-sized ones, appear to incorporate approaches to CSR that are different from those in larger corporations and MNCs: this research focused on CSR approaches relevant to Thai FRBs. Through interviews with FRB owners in Thailand, it was found that founders and successors have similar target audiences for their delivery of CSR. However, they have different means to do so: FRBs are most concerned about their employees when directing CSR efforts while the surrounding society is the next in concern. The main differences in CSR among the generations is that founders are more concerned with financial wellbeing and family reputation while successors are more driven towards employee development and company reputation. Thus, their CSR practices and expectations differ. Furthermore, this research also studies the CSR attitudes and CSR perceptions of employees. It was found through cluster analysis that different hierarchies, business sectors and owner generation are likely to cultivate certain attitudes and CSR perceptions from their employees. After obtaining these findings, FRB owners helped to validate the reliability of the results and improves the possibility that these findings can be used in practical scenarios.

Sideløbende arbejdes med 3 pilotruter - Albertslundruten (5 kommuner), Ballerupruten (2 kommuner) og Vestvoldruten (4 kommuner). Parterne har valgt at nedsætte et projektsekretariat, som er forankret i Københavns Kommune. Visionen er, at hovedstadsområdet skal blive verdens bedste cykelregion, med alle de positive effekter der vil være heraf. Det er et enestående regionalt samarbejdsprojekt, som forhåbentlig kan gøde jorden for mange investeringer i forbedringer for cykelpendlere de kommende år og ligeledes give mulighed for samarbejde om andre temaer på længere sigt. Der er flere udfordringer i projektet: • Alle parter skal blive enige om linjeføringer, kvalitetsmål, koncept, forslag til indsatser mv. • Planen i sig selv giver ikke bedre forhold for cyklisterne. • Forankring i kommunerne er helt central for at sikre investeringer de kommende år. • Nuværende og potentielle brugere er væsentlige interessenter, der skal inddrages tidligt i fasen. Både for at sikre god kvalitet på ruterne og for at sikre ejerskab/kendskab til ruterne, når de føres ud i livet.

description: Gjennom mange år har vi fulgt med på hvordan parkering inngår i kommuners og regioners planlegging og transportpolitikk. Til tross for at det dreier seg om et viktig virkemiddel på flere politikkområder, har parkeringstilbudet i stor grad blitt privatisert. Derved har myndighetene etter hvert fått sitt handlingsrom stadig mer begrenset fordi man ikke så lett kan påvirke hvordan eksisterende parkeringsplasser brukes. Dette innlegget bygger på en sammenstilling av hva vi har erfart å være praksis og hva vi mener kan gjøres hvis man ønsker å benytte parkering som virkemiddel til å begrense biltrafikken i byområder. Hittil er det få byer som har tatt opp temaet i full bredde, men vi ser en tendens til at dette endrer seg. Noen byer har nå fått en mer helhetlig parkeringspolitikk.

Understanding the Dark Matter Halos of the Andromeda Satellites
Creators: name: Charles, Emily Jane Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2024

description: In the current cosmological model, the Lamda Cold Dark Matter model (ΛCDM), dark matter is thought to make up the vast majority (∼ 85%) of the matter in the Universe, and it forms the backbone of structure formation. Yet, due to the elusive properties of dark matter, we still know very little about it. The particle nature of dark matter is one of the most pressing, unanswered questions in astrophysics.

description:

description: Despite the considerable success of the ΛCDM model at explaining large-scale structure formation in the Universe, there are a number of outstanding tensions between the model and observations at small (dwarf galaxy) scales. Understanding these tensions is key to our understanding of dark matter, making dwarf galaxies ideal probes. Fortunately, within the observable region that we reside in, known as the Local Group, there is an abundance of dwarf galaxies covering a broad range of properties. In this thesis, I primarily focus on investigating the dark matter content of the dwarf galaxy satellites of our galactic neighbour, the Andromeda galaxy (M31).

description:

description: First, I present results from the dynamical mass modelling analysis of Andromeda (And) XXV. Intriguingly, I find And XXV has an unusually low central dark matter density when compared to other dwarfs of a similar mass. In a follow-up study, I then investigate possible causes of the low central densities observed in both And XXV and And XXI (identified to have a similarly low central density in a previous study). I test the effects of stellar feedback, tidal stripping and halo concentrations, as well as a range of different dark matter models. I find that in both cold and warm dark matter, stellar feedback alone cannot explain the densities. Instead, And XXV requires a combination of stellar feedback and extreme tidal stripping, whereas And XXI favours stellar feedback and an extremely low halo concentration. Finally, I detail the discovery of two ultra-faint dwarf galaxies around M31 and Triangulum (M33). Both of these dwarfs have tantalising features, which could have potential ramifications for our understanding of dwarf galaxy evolution.

description:

description: The work I present in this thesis lays the groundwork for analysing the remaining M31 dwarf galaxies. When combined with the upcoming mass modelling of the entire M31 system, as well as the wealth of dwarfs posited to be discovered by upcoming astronomical surveys, the methods presented in this thesis will provide robust constraints on both the nature of dark matter and galaxy formation and evolution pathways.

Crossing the prison boundary: Prisoner writing as an act of translation
Creators: name: MARCH, ELEANOR JANE
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2021

description: Prison is a hidden, marginal space that renders the prisoner Other to society, and writing by prisoners is similarly marginalised. This thesis examines such prisoner writing, as a literary genre largely neglected by academia. My analysis builds on the limited existing research in the field, including formative works by Franklin (1978/1989), Scheffler (1986/2002) and Davies (1990). Specifically, this thesis explores Davies’s assertion that prisoner writing represents an act of translation, as the prisoner-writer conveys the experience of imprisonment to readers outside prison walls. Accordingly, I employ theories from translation studies to assess the translational nature of prisoner writing, drawing on discussions of rewriting (Lefevere, 1992/2017; Gentzler, 2016), mediation (Hatim & Mason, 1990), cultural translation (Carbonell, 1996, Katan, 1999/2014) and border writing (Gentzler, 2008; Doloughan, 2016). In evaluating how prisoner writing forges connections between the prison and non-prison worlds, I am influenced by the emerging field of carceral geography (Moran, 2015; Turner; 2016), which foregrounds spatial aspects of imprisonment.
description: From this interdisciplinary perspective, I explore how prisoner writing translates prison for the non-prisoner reader. In focusing on carceral texts, I seek to increase the visibility of prisoner writing, and assess how the genre can improve our understanding of prison, supporting criminological study and aiding prison reform. Employing archival research, I compile a corpus of primary texts with a shared national, historical and cultural context: specifically contemporary short stories about prison, written by UK prisoners, and published via anthologies, journals, or competitions. I analyse the forms of intralingual and cultural translation present in these primary texts, and consider how publication practices represent a further translation of prisoner writing, charting typical publication processes and examining the use of paratexts. My analysis reveals how prisoner writing bears witness to the hidden carceral experience, allowing writers and readers alike to cross the prison boundary.
Phosphate-based glasses prepared via coacervation and sol-gel: synthesis and characterization
Creators: name: KYFFIN, BENJAMIN ALEXANDER
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2022

description: The content of this thesis concerns the production and characterization of phosphate-based glasses in the P2O5-CaO-Na2O system for biomedical applications via new synthetic routes, alternatives to the melt-quench method.
description: The coacervate method, a room-temperature, scalable and greener method to produce phosphate-based glasses, was used to produce phosphate-based glasses doped with therapeutic ions (Ag+, Cu2+ and Zn2+). The structure of these coacervate glasses was probed by the use of rheology, X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, 31P and 23Na magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy as well as using synchrotron techniques, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and high-energy X-ray diffraction. This structural investigation confirms that glasses made via the coacervation process have similar atomic structures to those produced via the melt-quench method.
description: The antibacterial and dissolution properties of silver-doped coacervate glasses were also explored, with these glasses expressing antimicrobial properties. Dissolution of these silver-doped coacervate glasses is shown to occur rapidly and potential methods for retarding the dissolution rate are discussed.
description: Coacervation has also shown itself to be versatile for the production of phosphate-based glass fibres which can be again doped with therapeutic ions (Ag+, Cu2+, Zn2+ and Sr2+). The atomic environments of these ions were explored via X-ray absorption spectroscopy and were shown to be similar to those of bulk glasses.
description: The sol-gel method provides a synthetic route to produce multifunctional glasses with a variety of morphologies. Investigation was undertaken into the synthesis of mesoporous phosphate-based glasses via a soft-template sol-gel route and the incorporation of therapeutic ions (Ag+, Sr2+ and Ga3+) was explored. The atomic environments of these therapeutic ions were probed via X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Porosity of these glasses was found to be highly dependent on the synthetic parameters, such as water:ethanol ratios. The synthetic method developed here was also shown to be tolerant to the incorporation of therapeutic ions, with atomic environments similar to those observed in glasses produced via other methods.
description: In the production of glasses for biomedical applications, both the coacervation and sol-gel methods have been proven to be facile alternatives to the melt-quench method.

Sodium-Ion Electrolytes for Carbon-Based Electrochemical Supercapacitor Technology
Creators: name: DUNNE, ANDREW JAMES
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2021

description: A number of non-aqueous electrolyte formulations based on sodium hexafluorophosphate (NaPF6) were evaluated for performance in activated carbon supercapacitor devices, with the best performer found to be NaPF6 in a propylene carbonate-dimethoxyethane solvent mixture of 8:2 by mole fraction, yielding a stable specific capacitance of 63.19 Fg-1. This system was also shown to suffer the least amount of initial capacity loss of 25% with a final energy efficiency of 58%. In addition, this system was compared alongside a number of other electrolyte salts in the same solvent system including tetraethylammonium (TEA+) and lithium analogues, whereby it was shown that the initial system possessed a superior final discharge capacitance upon cycling, albeit at the expense of lower energy efficiency when compared to the tetraethylammonium, lithium and other sodium-based systems. However, the systems based on group 1 metals suffered an initial capacity loss of approximately 70% in the case of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) and approximately 60% in the case of sodium bis(trifluoromethanesulfone)imide (NaTFSI) with the TEA+ systems showing the least amount of loss upon initial cycling, resulting in better stability over the cycling period overall. As this capacity loss occurred over the first few cycles an attempt to understand the interfacial processes at the electrode was made by use of electrical impedance spectroscopy, where modelling of particular components is possible, allowing for a determination of the mechanisms involved in charge storage at the electrode surface and whether pore inclusion plays a significant role in this process. As a result, it was found that for the sodium and TEA+ systems charge transfer and storage mechanism appeared to be limited to the surface of the particles that comprise the electrode material, whereas for the lithium systems the results suggest that a more subtle pore inclusion is the primary mechanism.

Confiding in others : a qualitative study exploring the experiences of young people who have been in the care system.
Creators: name: Eldridge, Joshua L.
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: In the general population, confiding in others is typically related to a plethora of individual and interpersonal benefits. However, there is a lack of research which has examined how confiding may be experienced by young people who have been in the care system. The current study employed Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to guide the analysis of semi-structured interviews with eight young people, all of whom had care experience, on the topic of confiding in others. Five superordinate themes emerged from the data analysis. These included: difficulties negotiating an acceptable sense of self and ‘in-care’ identity that can be shared with others; the anticipation and expectation that confiding would lead to harm; subsequent internal conflict between being open or remaining closed; and the variable opportunities to develop trusted, confiding relationships across different environments. The findings suggest a need for young people in the care system to have safe, secure and stable environments, which can enable the development of trusted, confiding relationships within which one’s identity can be explored. The findings are considered in relation to existing theory and research. Implications for clinical practice and future research are discussed.

Experimental characterisation of a novel Hall-type plasma thruster for small satellite applications
Creators: name: Masillo, Silvia
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: A novel low-power plasma thruster, known as the Halo thruster, is experimentally investigated at the Surrey Space Centre. Deriving from a Hall-Effect thruster concept, the Halo thruster exploits the main features of the E×B acceleration and ionisation mechanisms while aiming at improving performance figures at a low power level. The thruster employs a unique magnetic field topology using a cusped magnetic field with regions of magnetic cancellation and a cylindrical discharge channel geometry. A hollow cathode neutraliser is located either externally or internally along the thruster centreline.

description:

description: This study involved critical analysis of the Halo thruster concept and upgrading of the propulsion facilities at Surrey Space Centre to include new architectures and diagnostic tools for accurate thruster characterisation and plume investigation. The thruster performance was measured using a novel torsional thrust balance - over a range of power levels (100 W - 1 kW), propellant flow rates (0.5 – 2 mg/s Xe) and cathode configurations –, ranging from 2 to 21 % of anode efficiency, from 150 to 1400 s of anode specific impulse and providing between 2 and 25 mN of thrust. Plasma plume characteristics were analysed using a Wien filter, a Faraday probe and Optical Emission Spectroscopy, and a current probe was used for discharge oscillations monitoring. A phenomenological performance model was derived, and the mechanisms in the plasma discharge that are detrimental to the thruster performance were highlighted. The experimental characterisation and subsequent analysis identified the following main loss mechanisms: low ionisation rates at low discharge voltage levels, significant wall losses and enhanced electron current towards the anode, particularly in the internally-located cathode configuration. The effects of cathode location on thruster loss mechanisms and the role of magnetic null points on plasma confinement within the discharge channel were also analysed and discussed.

Comparative genomics and phenotypic profiling of Escherichia coli isolated from non-urinary, sporadic, and recurrent urinary tract infections; including a small colony variant
Creators: name: Meda, Manjula
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2024

description: Urinary pathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the most common pathogens causing recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTI) in women, a common debilitating infection. Studies so far into its pathogenesis have identified an array of putative urovirulence factors or genes necessary for functions such as bacterial adhesion to bladder epithelial cells, iron uptake mechanisms and toxin production as potential targets for vaccine development or treatment strategies. Yet, treatment is largely limited to use of antimicrobial therapy.

description:

description: The aim in this study was to examine the differences in genotypic as well as phenotypic characteristics of E. coli isolates collected from 132 patients from three patient cohorts – those with rUTI, sporadic UTI (sUTI), and non-urinary sources of E. coli infection (nUTI). Genotypic characteristics investigated using whole genome sequencing revealed that phylogroup B2 carried more virulence genes than phylogroups B1 (p = 0.034) and phylogroup D (p = 0.004). However, no significant differences in genotypic characteristics could be detected when the virulence gene carriage between the 3 patient cohorts were compared. High throughput carbon utilization phenotypic microarray (PM) assays (Biolog, Inc.), used to compare the phenotypic profiles, which included common host metabolites such as L-serine and D-serine, detected no differences between patient cohorts or phylogroups.

description:

description: One isolate from a patient with sporadic UTI, however, was noted to exhibit no metabolic activity on PM tests. This was identified as a small colony variant (SCV), which, are associated with recurrent and chronic infections. Its phenotypic and genotypic characteristics were explored which showed that its profile did not match any of the previously reported genotypes or phenotypes associated with E. coli SCV. A unique SCV has been identified and further work is necessary to understand the factors contributing to this morphology which may be key to unravelling as yet unidentified mechanisms for the ability of E. coli to cause recurrent infections.
