Bacteriophage therapy to reduce Salmonella colonization of broiler chickens (2007)
Journal Article
Atterbury, R. J., Van Bergen, M., Ortiz, F., Lovell, M., Harris, J., De Boer, A., …Barrow, P. (2007). Bacteriophage therapy to reduce Salmonella colonization of broiler chickens. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 73(14), https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.00049-07

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.

Journal Article
Ashgar, S. S., Oldfield, N. J., Wooldridge, K. G., Jones, M. A., Irving, G. J., Turner, D. P., & Ala'Aldeen, D. A. (2007). CapA, an Autotransporter Protein of Campylobacter jejuni, Mediates Association with Human Epithelial Cells and Colonization of the Chicken Gut. Journal of Bacteriology, 189(5), 1856-1865. https://doi.org/10.1128/JB.01427-06

Two putative autotransporter proteins, CapA and CapB, were identified in silico from the genome sequence of Campylobacter jejuni NCTC11168. The genes encoding each protein contain homopolymeric tracts, suggestive of phase variation mediated by a slip...

Mutations of the TGF-? type II receptor BMPR2 in pulmonary arterial hypertension (2006)
Journal Article
Machado, R. D., Aldred, M. A., James, V., Harrison, R. E., Patel, B., Schwalbe, E. C., …Trembath, R. C. (2006). Mutations of the TGF-β type II receptor BMPR2 in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Human Mutation, 27(2), 121-132. doi:10.1002/humu.20285

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is clinically characterized by a sustained elevation in mean pulmonary artery pressure leading to significant morbidity and mortality. The disorder is typically sporadic, and in such cases the term idiopathic PAH... Read More about Mutations of the TGF-? type II receptor BMPR2 in pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Application of host-specific bacteriophages to the surface of chicken skin leads to a reduction in recovery of Campylobacter jejuni (2003)
Journal Article
Atterbury, R. J., Connerton, P. L., Dodd, C. E., Rees, C. E., & Connerton, I. F. (2003). Application of host-specific bacteriophages to the surface of chicken skin leads to a reduction in recovery of Campylobacter jejuni. Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 69(10), https://doi.org/10.1128/AEM.69.10.6302-6306.2003

Retail poultry products are widely purported as the major infection vehicle for human campylobacteriosis. Numerous intervention strategies have sought to reduce Campylobacter contamination on broiler carcasses in the abattoir. This study reports the...

The development of techniques capable of accurate diagnosis of strongyle infections is at the forefront of research in equine parasitology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential, for using lipidomics in the diagnosis of strongyle infect... Read More about Lipidomic analysis of serum from horses with strongyle infection.

18S rRNA is a reliable normalisation gene for real time PCR based on influenza virus infected cells
Journal Article
Kuchipudi, S. V., Tellabati, M., Nelli, R. K., White, G. A., Baquero Perez, B., Sebastian, S., …Chang, K. 18S rRNA is a reliable normalisation gene for real time PCR based on influenza virus infected cells. Virology Journal, 9(230), https://doi.org/10.1186/1743-422X-9-230

Background: One requisite of quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) is to normalise the data with an internal reference gene that is invariant regardless of treatment, such as virus infection. Several studies have found variability in the... Read More about 18S rRNA is a reliable normalisation gene for real time PCR based on influenza virus infected cells.

Troubleshooting methods for the generation of novel pseudotyped viruses
Journal Article
King, B., Temperton, N., Grehan, K., Scott, S., Wright, E., Tarr, A. W., & Daly, J. M. Troubleshooting methods for the generation of novel pseudotyped viruses. Future Virology,

A pseudotyped virus (PV) is a virus particle with an envelope protein originating from a different virus. The ability to dictate which envelope proteins are expressed on the surface has made pseudotyping an important tool for basic virological studie...
