Cow, farm, and management factors during the dry period that determine the rate of clinical mastitis after calving (2007)
Journal Article
Green, M. J., Bradley, A. J., Medley, G. F., & Browne, W. J. (2007). Cow, farm, and management factors during the dry period that determine the rate of clinical mastitis after calving. Journal of Dairy Science, 90(8), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2007-0107

The purpose of the research was to investigate cow characteristics, farm facilities, and herd management strategies during the dry period to examine their joint influence on the rate of clinical mastitis after calving. Data were collected over a 2-yr... Read More about Cow, farm, and management factors during the dry period that determine the rate of clinical mastitis after calving.

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.

CapA, an Autotransporter Protein of Campylobacter jejuni, Mediates Association with Human Epithelial Cells and Colonization of the Chicken Gut (2007)
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...
