Genomic signatures of human and animal disease in the zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus suis
Journal Article
Weinert, L. A., Chaudhuri, R. R., Wang, J., Peters, S. E., Corander, J., Jombart, T., Baig, A., Howell, K. J., Vehkala, M., Valimaki, N., Harris, D., Tran Thi Bich, C., Nguyen Van Vinh, C., Campbell, J., Schultsz, C., Parkhill, J., Bentley, S. D., Langford, P. R., Rycroft, A. N., Wren, B. W., …BRaDP1T Consortium. (in press). Genomic signatures of human and animal disease in the zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus suis. Nature Communications, 6, https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms7740

Streptococcus suis causes disease in pigs worldwide and is increasingly implicated in zoonotic disease in East and South-East Asia. To understand the genetic basis of disease in S. suis, we study the genomes of 375 isolates with detailed clinical phe...

Hazards with cracked eggs and their relationship to egg shell strength
Journal Article
Widdicombe, J. P., Rycroft, A. N., & Gregory, N. G. Hazards with cracked eggs and their relationship to egg shell strength. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 89(2), 201-205. https://doi.org/10.1002/jsfa.3425

BACKGROUND: This study examined the relationship between egg shell strength and the prevalence of cracked shells, plus the relationship between egg shell cracks and the presence of bacteria in the albumen of retail eggs. A total of 500 eggs was sampl... Read More about Hazards with cracked eggs and their relationship to egg shell strength.

Aorto-iliac thromboembolism secondary to infectious endocarditis causing paraparesis in a puppy
Journal Article
Penning, V., Benigni, L., Connolly, D. J., Chandler, K. E., Smyth, B., Rycroft, A. N., & Whatmough, C. Aorto-iliac thromboembolism secondary to infectious endocarditis causing paraparesis in a puppy. Companion Animal, 13(7), 57-62. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.2044-3862.2008.tb00317.x

A 10-week-old-female Rhodesian Ridgeback was referred for right pelvic limb lameness following a fall. A grade IV/VI left atrioventricular (AV) valve murmur and reduced femoral pulses were detected. On neurological examination the puppy was non-ambul... Read More about Aorto-iliac thromboembolism secondary to infectious endocarditis causing paraparesis in a puppy.

Novel adhesin from Pasteurella multocida that binds to the integrin-binding fibronectin FnIII(9-10) repeats
Journal Article
Mullen, L. M., Nair, S. P., Ward, J. M., Rycroft, A. N., Williams, R. J., Robertson, G., Mordan, N. J., & Henderson, B. Novel adhesin from Pasteurella multocida that binds to the integrin-binding fibronectin FnIII(9-10) repeats. Infection and Immunity, 76(3), 1093-1104. https://doi.org/10.1128/iai.01349-07

Phage display screening with fragmented genomic DNA from the animal pathogen Pasteurella multocida has identified a gene encoding a putative fibronectin binding protein (19). Homologues of this gene (PM1665) are found in all other sequenced members o...

Multiplex PCR that can distinguish between immunologically cross-reactive serovar 3, 6, and 8 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae strains. Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 46(2), 800-803. https://doi.org/10.1128/jcm.01787-07

We describe a highly sensitive and specific multiplex PCR, based on capsular loci and the species specific apxIV gene, that unequivocally differentiates serovar 3, 6, and 8 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae strains that are cross-reactive in convention...
