Antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacteria associated with lower respiratory tract infections in cats and dogs in England (2021)
Journal Article
Mavrides, D. E., Morgan, A. L., Na, J. G., Graham, P. A., & McHugh, T. D. (2022). Antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacteria associated with lower respiratory tract infections in cats and dogs in England. Veterinary Record, 190(4), Article e779. https://doi.org/10.1002/vetr.779

Background: Bacterial lower respiratory tract infections (bLRTIs) are common and potentially life threatening in cats and dogs. Antibiotic treatment is often initiated before the diagnosis of bLRTI; therefore improved knowledge of the aetiology and a...

Immunohistochemical Characterisation of GLUT1, MMP3 and NRF2 in Osteosarcoma (2021)
Journal Article
Rutland, C. S., Cockcroft, J. M., Lothion-Roy, J., Harris, A. E., Jeyapalan, J. N., Simpson, S., …Mongan, N. P. (2021). Immunohistochemical Characterisation of GLUT1, MMP3 and NRF2 in Osteosarcoma. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 8, Article 704598. https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2021.704598

Osteosarcoma (OSA) is an aggressive bone malignancy. Unlike many other malignancies, OSA outcomes have not improved in recent decades. One challenge to the development of better diagnostic and therapeutic methods for OSA has been the lack of well cha...
