Re-Claiming Adrien Certes (1835–1903), Pioneer Deep-Sea Microbiologist, as a Protistologist
Protist, 2020Co-Authors: John DolanAbstract:Since the advent of deep-sea microbiology in the 1950's, Microbiologists have justifiably recognized Adrien Certes as a pioneer due to his early studies on culturing deep-sea bacteria, and investigating the effects of pressure on microorganisms. However, Certes was actually first and foremost a protistologist. He was but a 'part-time' scientist, without advanced training in biology, and only began publishing in middle age. His 'day job' was a high-level civil servant, an Inspecteur des Finances. Nonetheless, he authored over 50 works on a remarkably wide range of free-living and commensal protists as well as microscopical methods. He interacted with major figures of biology in France of his time such as the protistologist Édouard-Gérard Balbiani, the Microbiologist Louis Pasteur, and the zoologist Alphonse Milne Edwards, although exactly how his connections were forged unfortunately remains obscure. Certes, acknowledged by marine Microbiologists, is largely overlooked in accounts of protistology, perhaps because his work was dispersed over a variety of topics and taxa. Also, as a part-time researcher, he left no academic children behind. Here the life and scientific work of Certes are reviewed and it is shown that he was a devoted protistologist.

Sequential antimicrobial therapy: comparison of the views of Microbiologists and pharmacists.
The Journal of infection, 1998Co-Authors: E T Smyth, G S TillotsonAbstract:Sequential antimicrobial therapy (SAT) is arousing keen interest in Microbiologists and pharmacists. In an attempt to obtain information from these groups regarding the use of SAT in hospitals, an anonymized postal survey was carried out. A SAT questionnaire was circulated to consultant medical Microbiologists, clinical Microbiologists, and heads of pharmacy departments within the British Isles. Four hundred and forty-seven Microbiologists and pharmacists returned completed questionnaires, giving a response rate of 29%. Just over half of medical Microbiologists (MM) and pharmacists (PH) indicated that SAT was used in their institution in respiratory medicine, geriatrics, surgery and, significantly, to a lesser degree in paediatrics. The most common infections treated were pneumonia, bronchitis and wound infection. However, there were significant differences between MM and PH, with MM favouring greater use of SAT in peritonitis (P=0.03), septicaemia (P

Interaction and signalling networks: a report from the fourth 'Young Microbiologists Symposium on Microbe Signalling, Organisation and Pathogenesis'.
Microbiology (Reading England), 2017Co-Authors: Clare L. Kirkpatrick, Jacob G. Malone, Olivier Lesouhaitier, Delphine L. CalyAbstract:At the end of June, over 120 Microbiologists from 18 countries gathered in Dundee, Scotland for the fourth edition of the Young Microbiologists Symposium on ‘Microbe Signalling, Organisation and Pathogenesis’. The aim of the symposium was to give early career Microbiologists the opportunity to present their work in a convivial environment and to interact with senior world-renowned scientists in exciting fields of microbiology research. The meeting was supported by the Microbiology Society, the Society of Applied Microbiology and the American Society for Microbiology with further sponsorship from the European Molecular Biology Organisation and the Royal Society of Edinburgh. In this report, we highlight some themes that emerged from the many interesting talks and poster presentations, as well as some of the other activities that were on offer at this energetic meeting.

Communication, Cooperation, and Social Interactions: a Report from the Third Young Microbiologists Symposium on Microbe Signalling, Organisation, and Pathogenesis
Journal of bacteriology, 2014Co-Authors: Delphine L. Caly, Sarah J. Coulthurst, Sophie Helaine, Jacob G. Malone, Robert P. RyanAbstract:The third Young Microbiologists Symposium took place on the vibrant campus of the University of Dundee, Scotland, from the 2nd to 3rd of June 2014. The symposium attracted over 150 Microbiologists from 17 different countries. The significant characteristic of this meeting was that it was specifically aimed at providing a forum for junior scientists to present their work. The meeting was supported by the Society for General Microbiology and the American Society for Microbiology, with further sponsorship from the European Molecular Biology Organization, the Federation of European Microbiological Societies, and The Royal Society of Edinburgh. In this report, we highlight some themes that emerged from the many exciting talks and poster presentations given by the young and talented Microbiologists in the area of microbial gene expression, regulation, biogenesis, pathogenicity, and host interaction.
