High throughput method for analysis of repeat number for 28 phase variable loci of C. jejuni strain NCTC11168 (2016)
Journal Article

Mutations in simple sequence repeat tracts are a major mechanism of phase variation in several bacterial species including Campylobacter jejuni. Changes in repeat number of tracts located within the reading frame can produce a high frequency of rever...

The genomic architecture of resistance to Campylobacter jejuni intestinal colonisation in chickens (2016)
Journal Article

Campylobacter is the leading cause of foodborne diarrhoeal illness in humans and is mostly acquired from consumption or handling of contaminated poultry meat. In the absence of effective licensed vaccines and inhibitors, selection for chickens with i...
