Supervisor: Dr. Primrose Freestone, senior clinical lecturer in microbiology
Renal failure is increasingly being treated by Continuous
Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD). However, infection leading to peritonitis and possible CAPD failure is a frequent complication of this form of kidney dialysis. Infections are often caused by commensal skin bacteria such as the staphylococci, and Staphylococcousepidermidis and
S. aureus are responsible for over half of all CAPD infections. The host risk factors that influence CAPD patient susceptibility to infection currently revolve around issues such as patient hygiene, and little thought has been given to the role that the host factors released into the CAPD dialysis fluid may play. We therefore analysed the protein profiles of
CAPD dialysates from a large number of new and established CAPD patients, as well as examining how the different CAPD dialysates affected the growth and virulence of bacteria such as the staphylococci. We found there were significant differences between patient dialysates in terms of protein profile and how the bacteria grew and expressed virulence factors.
Considered collectively, our data suggests that the host factors released into the dialysis fluid of CAPD patients could be an additional factor that influences their chances of developing a potentially life threatening infection.

Communication: Good communication skills were gained from giving presentations, teaching, supervising undergraduates and technicians and attending seminars and conferences. Also, I have learned to seek and accept criticism, using this in a positive manner to further build on my skills. I understand that good communication is vital to a successful organization and that within training, listening can be more important than verbal skills.
