Journal Article
Baig, A., Weinert, L. A., Peters, S. E., Howell, K. J., Chaudhuri, R. R., Wang, J., Holden, M. T. G., Parkhill, J., Langford, P. R., Rycroft, A. N., Wren, B. W., Tucker, A. W., Maskell, D. J., & BRaDP1T Consortium. (2015). Whole genome investigation of a divergent clade of the pathogen Streptococcus suis. Frontiers in Microbiology, 6(1), https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2015.01191

Streptococcus suis is a major porcine and zoonotic pathogen responsible for significant economic losses in the pig industry and an increasing number of human cases. Multiple isolates of S. suis show marked genomic diversity. Here, we report the analy... Read More about Whole genome investigation of a divergent clade of the pathogen Streptococcus suis.

The Generation of Successive Unmarked Mutations and Chromosomal Insertion of Heterologous Genes in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Using Natural Transformation (2014)
Journal Article
Bossé, J. T., Soares-Bazzolli, D. M., Li, Y., Wren, B. W., Tucker, A. W., Maskell, D. J., Rycroft, A. N., Langford, P. R., & BRaDP1T Consortium. (2014).

PLoS ONE, 9(11), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0111252

We have developed a simple method of generating scarless, unmarked mutations in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae by exploiting the ability of this bacterium to undergo natural transformation, and with no need to introduce plasmids encoding recombinase...

Journal Article
Howell, K. J., Weinert, L. A., Luan, S. L., Peters, S. E., Chaudhuri, R. R., Harris, D., Angen, Ø., Aragon, V., Parkhill, J., Langford, P. R., Rycroft, A. N., Wren, B. W., Tucker, A. W., & Maskell, D. J. (in press). Gene content and diversity of the Loci encoding biosynthesis of capsular polysaccharides of the fifteen serovar reference strains of Haemophilus parasuis. Journal of Bacteriology, 195(18), 4264-4273. https://doi.org/10.1128/JB.00471-13

Haemophilus parasuis is the causative agent of Glässer's disease, a systemic disease of pigs, and is also associated with pneumonia. H. parasuis can be classified into 15 different serovars. Here we report, from the 15 serotyping reference strains, t...
