Journal Article
Gigante, A. M., Hadis, M. A., Secker, B., Shaw, S. C., Cooper, P. R., Palin, W. M., Milward, M. R., & Atterbury, R. J. (2024). Exposure to blue light reduces antimicrobial resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from dog ear infections. Frontiers in Microbiology, 15, 1-11. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2024.1414412

Introduction: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of canine otitis externa. Enrofloxacin is often applied topically to treat this condition, although recalcitrant and recurring infections are common. There is evidence that exposure to blue ligh...

Efficacy of Different Encapsulation Techniques on the Viability and Stability of Diverse Phage under Simulated Gastric Conditions (2023)
Journal Article
Dlamini, S. B., Gigante, A. M., Hooton, S. P. T., & Atterbury, R. J. (2023). Efficacy of Different Encapsulation Techniques on the Viability and Stability of Diverse Phage under Simulated Gastric Conditions. Microorganisms, 11(10), Article 2389. https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms11102389

Salmonella causes a range of diseases in humans and livestock of considerable public health and economic importance. Widespread antimicrobial use, particularly in intensively produced livestock (e.g., poultry and pigs) may contribute to the rise of m...

Reduction of Salmonella contamination on the surface of chicken skin using bacteriophage (2020)
Journal Article
Atterbury, R. J., Gigante, A. M., Rubio Lozano, M. D. L. S., Méndez Medina, R. D., Robinson, G., Alloush, H., …Allen, V. M. (2020). Reduction of Salmonella contamination on the surface of chicken skin using bacteriophage. Virology Journal, 17, Article 98. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12985-020-01368-0

Background: Enteric infections caused by Salmonella spp. remain a major public health burden worldwide. Chickens are known to be a major reservoir for this zoonotic pathogen. The presence of Salmonella in poultry farms and abattoirs is associated wit... Read More about Reduction of Salmonella contamination on the surface of chicken skin using bacteriophage.
