Veterinary use of bacteriophage therapy in intensively-reared livestock (2019)
Journal Article
Gigante, A., & Atterbury, R. J. (2019). Veterinary use of bacteriophage therapy in intensively-reared livestock. Virology Journal, 16(1), Article 155. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12985-019-1260-3

Zoonoses are infectious diseases transmitted directly or indirectly between animals and humans. Several important zoonotic pathogens colonize farm animals asymptomatically, which may lead to contamination of the food chain and public health hazards....

Molecular epidemiology of nontyphoidal Salmonella in poultry and poultry products in India: implications for human health. Indian Journal of Microbiology, 55(3), https://doi.org/10.1007/s12088-015-0530-z

Human infections with non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) serovars are increasingly becoming a threat to human health globally. While all motile Salmonellae have zoonotic potential, Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium are most commonly assoc...

Investigation into the animal species contents of popular wet pet foods (2015)
Journal Article
Maine, I. R., Atterbury, R. J., & Chang, K.-C. (2015). Investigation into the animal species contents of popular wet pet foods. Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 57(1), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13028-015-0097-z

Background: The use of the generic term “meat and animal derivatives” in declared ingredient lists of pet foods in the European Union is virtually universal. In the wake of the 2013 “horse meat scandal” in the human food chain, we examined the presen... Read More about Investigation into the animal species contents of popular wet pet foods.

Effects of orally administered Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus on the well-being and Salmonella colonization of young chicks (2011)
Journal Article
Atterbury, R. J., Hobley, L., Till, R., Lambert, C., Capeness, M. J., Lerner, T. R., …Sockett, R. E. (2011). Effects of orally administered Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus on the well-being and Salmonella colonization of young chicks. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 77(16), https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.00426-11

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a bacterium which preys upon and kills Gram-negative bacteria, including the zoonotic pathogens Escherichia coli and Salmonella. Bdellovibrio has potential as a biocontrol agent, but no reports of it being tested in livi...

Acute enteric infections caused by salmonellas remain a major public health burden worldwide. Poultry, particularly chickens, are known to be the main reservoir for this zoonotic pathogen. Although some progress has been made in reducing Salmonella c... Read More about Bacteriophage therapy to reduce Salmonella colonization of broiler chickens.

Application of host-specific bacteriophages to the surface of chicken skin leads to a reduction in recovery of Campylobacter jejuni (2003)
Journal Article
