Copper and zinc are routinely used in livestock antimicrobial footbaths in commercial farming. The footbath mix is a cost to farmers, and the disposal of spent footbath into slurry tanks leads to soil contamination, as well as the potential for antim...

Investigating the association between the caecal microbiomes of broilers and Campylobacter burden (2018)
Journal Article
Sakaridis, I., Ellis, R. J., Cawthraw, S. A., van Vliet, A. H. M., Stekel, D. J., Penell, J., …Cook, A. J. (2018). Investigating the association between the caecal microbiomes of broilers and Campylobacter burden. Frontiers in Microbiology, 9, Article 927. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2018.00927

One of the major transmission routes for the foodborne bacterial pathogen Campylobacter is undercooked poultry meat, contaminated from intestinal contents during processing. In broilers, Campylobacter can grow to very high densities in the caeca, and... Read More about Investigating the association between the caecal microbiomes of broilers and Campylobacter burden.

Regulatory feedback response mechanisms to phosphate starvation in rice (2018)
Journal Article
Ajmera, I., Shi, J., Giri, J., Wu, P., Stekel, D. J., Lu, C., & Hodgman, C. (in press). Regulatory feedback response mechanisms to phosphate starvation in rice. npj Systems Biology and Applications, 4(4), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41540-017-0041-0

Phosphorus is a growth-limiting nutrient for plants. The growing scarcity of phosphate stocks threatens global food security. Phosphate-uptake regulation is so complex and incompletely known that attempts to improve phosphorus use efficiency have had...
