Expertise Summary

Bdellovibrio predatory bacteria- molecular biology and applications.

Teaching Summary

I retired in December 2024 but really enjoyed teaching amazing undergrads and postgrads over 33 years.

From summer 1991 up until summer 2022 I taught microbiology on undergraduate modules at Nottingham- all with specialisms in bacteriology. I also trained BSc and Master students with the able help of my lab colleagues.

From October 2022 I have reduced my hours and am no longer teaching or taking students in the lab. This is to help me look after my husband who was seriously ill in 2021. It also allows myself and our former lab research staff to write up our projects with the time I have available. I will miss teaching you all after 31 years of it!

I'm very grateful for the kind nominations that were linked to my teaching and student supervision over the years. Thank you students past and present for your enthusiasm and response to my teaching. Thanks in part to you:-

The University kindly awarded me a Lord Dearing Prize for teaching in 2000.

The UK Microbiology Society (SGM) awarded me the Peter Wildy Prize in 2006 for communicating and teaching about microbiology.

The Nottingham Student's Union kindly awarded me a "Tutor Oscar" in 2010-11 in the Category of Best All Rounder.

I was chosen as one of the "100 Heroes of the Students Union" to celebrate its centenary.

I was humbled to be awarded a CBE for services to Microbiology, in the Platinum Jubilee Honours list, in 2022.

I have really enjoyed teaching Nottingham students, and am so proud of all the amazing careers you have gone on to. Its always great when people get in touch with an update. If anyone who studied on LIFE2009 or LIFE3035 modules with me, needs some careers advice, I'm still happy to answer emails and look at applications for jobs or future study. Bacteria will always be amazing on all our lives!

Research Summary

I retired Decembeer 31st 2024 and so I'm sorry but I no longer have an active research group. We are publishing some final papers from our work.

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus

Our research group studied the predatory delta-Proteobacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus. Bdellovibrio are tiny bacteria that naturally invade and eat the pathogenic bacteria that cause skin ulcer, burn & pressure sore infections in people, whilst not being infectious. Our lab has sadly had to close in November 2023 due to family illness and I retired to become Professor Emerita Dec 31st 2024. Iam currently working to complete research papers with my former lab colleagues.

With our multidisciplinary approaches our lab's achievements include:

  • The establishment of a genetic system to manipulate Bdellovibrio showing that flagellar motility, although important for locating prey, is not essential for prey-entry, but that surface pili are.
  • Identification of a group of prey-bacterial genes that are upregulated by Bdellovibrio attack. From these genes, identification of bacterial cell wall modifications key to predation of bacteria have been studied in collaboration with Prof Andrew Lovering at University of Bimrnigham. Those include cyclic di GMP signalling proteins, bacterial cell wall degrading and modifying proteins and adhesive proteins at the predator-prey interface.
  • Establishing that predation by Bdellovibrio works on crops and animal pathogens and is safe, given orally, in animals (chickens) With Dr Rob Atterbury and Dr Laura Hobley.
  • Establishing that Bdellovibrio predation is effective in bodily fluids including serum and begun characterising the immune response of humans to Bdellovibrio.
  • Using a Zebrafish infection model and showing Bdellovibrio predation cures Gram-negative pathogen infections and that the host immune system contributes. In collaboration with Dr Serge Mostowy.

Our lab closed November 2023 and I retired, for family reasons, to become Emeritus Prof in December 2024 (email liz.sockett@nottingham.ac.uk).

I want to thank everyone for our great research years and continue to admire and send best wishes to our wonderful former lab.

Our last lab members were Dr Jess Tyson, Mr Paul Radford, Mr Rob Till, Ms Rhian Ford. Thank you for all your help and support during, and at the end of, lab C15. In the final years we also included Dr Callum Clark and Dr Carey Lambert and Dr Simona Huwiler. Well done everyone in getting through and getting on.

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus

Our research group studied the predatory delta-Proteobacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus. Bdellovibrio are tiny bacteria that naturally invade and eat the Gramnegative bacteria in soil and water and including pathogenic bacteria that cause infections in people, whilst not themselves causing infections.

With our multidisciplinary approaches our lab's achievements include:

  • The establishment of a genetic system to manipulate Bdellovibrio showing that flagellar motility, although important for locating prey, is not essential for prey-entry, but that surface pili are.
  • Identification of a group of prey-bacterial genes that are upregulated by Bdellovibrio attack. From these genes, identification of bacterial cell wall modifications and adhesions, key to predation of bacteria are studied jointly with Prof Andrew Lovering.
  • Establishing that predation by Bdellovibrio works on crops and animal pathogens and is safe, given orally, in animals (chickens).
  • Establishing that Bdellovibrio predation is effective in bodily fluids including serum and begun characterising the immune response of humans to Bdellovibrio.
  • Using a Zebrafish infection model and showing Bdellovibrio predation cures Gram-negative pathogen infections and that the host immune system contributes. In collaboration with Dr Serge Mostowy.

Recent Projects

Hosting Research Fellow Dr Simona Huwiler 2018-2020 on two consecutive Swiss National Science Foundation Fellowship Projects on Exit of Bdellovibrio from Bacterial Prey.

Mechanisms of Bdellovibrio predation

Collaboration with Dr Stephan Schuster resulted in publication of the first genome sequence from a predatory bacterium and we determined the predatory transcriptome of genes expressed upon prey attack1. From this we have identified a range of proteins, including peptidoglycan enzymes and pilus components, that are potentially key to the predatory process, and are taking a multi-disciplinary proteomic, ultrastructural and genetic approach to understand their functions, working jointly with structural biologist Prof Andy Lovering at the University of Birmingham and collaborating with Prof Waldemar Vollmer formerly of Newcastle University.

Bdellovibrio as "living antibiotics"鈥︹��

In response to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance as a global health issue, in addition to the development of new antibiotics, measures are being sort to identify alternatives to antibiotics. One potential approach is the use of living predatory bacteria, such as Bdellovibrio to treat infections, especially those caused by multi-drug resistant pathogens.

鈥�.In poultry. Our lab have applied whole Bdellovibrio to combat pathogens in live poultry and food crops. In collaboration with Professor John King we developed a mathematical model of Bdellovibrio predation in the presence of live decoy bacteria, of importance in establishing how Bdellovibrio could be applied as a "living antibiotic"2. In 2011 with Dr Rob Atterbury, we published the first experimental trial of Bdellovibrio as an oral treatment for Salmonella in poultry, establishing activity without affecting animal wellbeing3.

鈥�.In humans? 4 We were involved in a project to translate this to pathogens responsible for infections in humans. This was a highly multidisciplinary project, bringing together a team of researchers from microbiology, immunology, computer science and genetics to study Bdellovibrio and its actions on CDC interest pathogens in cell cultures and zebrafish. We were funded by DARPA, as part of their Pathogen Predators program, to investigate basic science and immunology of this predatory bacterium to underpin future human applications. This program aimed to lay the groundwork for tests of a living predator-based therapeutic against a large number of gram negative infections, including those that are resistant to conventional treatments.

Lab members, especially Jess Tyson have been actively involved in a number of initiatives and conferences relevant to our research:
