Zoonotic potential of Salmonella enterica carried by pet tortoises (2017)
Journal Article
Bruce, H. L., Barrow, P. A., & Rycroft, A. N. (2017). Zoonotic potential of Salmonella enterica carried by pet tortoises. Veterinary Record, 182(5), 141. https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.104457

The prevalence of Salmonella in chelonians is not known in the UK and it is not clear whether such Salmonella strains would be pathogenic for human beings. Some strains, such as members of the Arizonae subgroup, may be unable to cause anything more t... Read More about Zoonotic potential of Salmonella enterica carried by pet tortoises.

Patterns of antimicrobial resistance in Streptococcus suis isolates from pigs with or without streptococcal disease in England between 2009 and 2014 (2017)
Journal Article
Hernandez-Garcia, J., Wang, J., Restif, O., Holmes, M. A., Mather, A. E., Weinert, L. A., …Tucker, A. W. (2017). Patterns of antimicrobial resistance in Streptococcus suis isolates from pigs with or without streptococcal disease in England between 2009 and 2014. Veterinary Microbiology, 207, 117-124. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetmic.2017.06.002

Antimicrobial resistance in Streptococcus suis, a global zoonotic pathogen of pigs, has been mostly studied only in diseased animals using surveys that have not evaluated changes over time. We compared patterns of resistance between S. suis isolat...

Whole Genome Sequencing for Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (2017)
Journal Article
Bossé, J. T., Li, Y., Rogers, J., Fernandez Crespo, R., Li, Y., Chaudhuri, R. R., …Langford, P. R. (2017). Whole Genome Sequencing for Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae. Frontiers in Microbiology, 8(311), https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2017.00311

The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles of 96 clinical isolates of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, an important porcine respiratory pathogen, and the identification of AMR genes in whole...

A Unique Capsule Locus in the Newly Designated Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Serovar 16 and Development of a Diagnostic PCR Assay (2017)
Journal Article
Bossé, J. T., Li, Y., Sárközi, R., Gottschalk, M., Angen, Ø., Nedbalcova, K., …Langford, P. R. (2017). A Unique Capsule Locus in the Newly Designated Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Serovar 16 and Development of a Diagnostic PCR Assay. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 55(3), 902-907. https://doi.org/10.1128/JCM.02166-16

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae causes pleuropneumonia, an economically significant lung disease of pigs. Recently, isolates of A. pleuropneumoniae that were serologically distinct from the previously characterized 15 serovars were described, and a p...
