Journal Article
Brown, H. L., Metters, G., Hitchings, M. D., Wilkinson, T. S., Sousa, L., Cooper, J., Dance, H., Atterbury, R. J., & Jenkins, R. (2020). Antibacterial and anti-virulence activity of manuka honey against genetically diverse Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 86(20), Article e01768-20. https://doi.org/10.1128/aem.01768-20

Staphylococcus pseudintermedius causes opportunistic infections in dogs. It also has significant zoonotic potential, with the emergence of multidrug-resistance leading to difficulty treating both animal and human infections. Manuka honey has previous...

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., Barrow, P. A., & 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.
