Contrasting long-term dynamics of antimicrobial resistance and virulence plasmids in Salmonella Typhimurium from animals (2022)
Journal Article
Mellor, K., Blackwell, G., Cawthraw, S., Mensah, N., Reid, S., Thomson, N., …Mather, A. (2022). Contrasting long-term dynamics of antimicrobial resistance and virulence plasmids in Salmonella Typhimurium from animals. Microbial Genomics, 8(8), https://doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0.000826

Plasmids are mobile elements that can carry genes encoding traits of clinical concern, including antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence. Population--level studies of Enterobacterales, including Escherichia coli, Shigella and Klebsiella, indicat...

Antimicrobial Resistance Diversity Suggestive of Distinct Salmonella Typhimurium Sources or Selective Pressures in Food-Production Animals
Journal Article
Mellor, K. C., Petrovska, L., Thomson, N. R., Harris, K., Reid, S. W. J., & Mather, A. E. (in press). Antimicrobial Resistance Diversity Suggestive of Distinct Salmonella Typhimurium Sources or Selective Pressures in Food-Production Animals. Frontiers in Microbiology, 10, https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2019.00708

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium is a common cause of enterocolitis in humans globally, with multidrug resistant (MDR) strains posing an enhanced threat. S. Typhimurium is also a pathogen in food-production animals, and these p...

Prediction of Phenotypic Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles From Whole Genome Sequences of Non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica
Journal Article
Neuert, S., Nair, S., Day, M. R., Doumith, M., Ashton, P. M., Mellor, K. C., …Dallman, T. J. (in press). Prediction of Phenotypic Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles From Whole Genome Sequences of Non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica. Frontiers in Microbiology, 9(592), https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2018.00592

Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica (NTS), is essential for monitoring transmission of resistance from the food chain to humans, and for establishing effective treatment protocols. We evaluated the pred... Read More about Prediction of Phenotypic Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles From Whole Genome Sequences of Non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica.

Comparative epidemiology of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 and H5N6 in Vietnamese live bird markets: spatio-temporal patterns of distribution and risk factors
Journal Article
Mellor, K. C., Meyer, A., Elkholly, D. A., Fournié, G., Long, P. T., Inui, K., …Stevens, K. B. (in press). Comparative epidemiology of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 and H5N6 in Vietnamese live bird markets: spatio-temporal patterns of distribution and risk factors. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 5, 51. https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2018.00051

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus has been circulating in Vietnam since 2003, whilst outbreaks of HPAI H5N6 virus are more recent, having only been reported since 2014. Although the spatial distribution of H5N1 outbreaks and risk fa...
