Molecular epidemiology of Streptococcus uberis clinical mastitis in dairy herds: strain heterogeneity and transmission (2015)
Journal Article
Davies, P., Archer, S. C., Emes, R. D., Bradley, A. J., Leigh, J., & Green, M. J. (2016). Molecular epidemiology of Streptococcus uberis clinical mastitis in dairy herds: strain heterogeneity and transmission. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 54(1), https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.01583-15

Multi Locus Sequence Typing was successfully completed on 494 isolates of S. uberis from clinical mastitis cases in a study of 52 commercial dairy herds over a 12 month period. In total, 195 sequence types (STs) were identified. S. uberis mastitis ca...

Virulence related sequences; insights provided by comparative genomics of Streptococcus uberis of differing virulence (2015)
Journal Article
Hossain, M., Emes, R., Coffey, T., Egan, S., Ward, P. N., Wilson, R., & Leigh, J. A. (2015). Virulence related sequences; insights provided by comparative genomics of Streptococcus uberis of differing virulence. BMC Genomics, 16, 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-015-1512-6

Background Streptococcus uberis, a Gram-positive, catalase-negative member of the family Streptococcaceae is an important environmental pathogen responsible for a significant proportion of subclinical and clinical bovine intramammary infections. C... Read More about Virulence related sequences; insights provided by comparative genomics of Streptococcus uberis of differing virulence.
