Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison and transferability of the erm (B) genes between human and farm animal streptococci.

TL;DR: In this article, the sequences of the erm(B) genes of streptococcal isolates from humans, pigs, pork carcasses, chickens, and calves were compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy of tiamulin alone or in combination with chlortetracycline against experimental Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection in chickens

TL;DR: Two challenge studies were conducted using a recently isolated M. gallisepticum strain belonging to the wildtype population with regard to its tiamulin and tetracycline minimum inhibitory concentration, showing a significant reduction of the severity of clinical respiratory disease post treatment and a significant reduced of the M.gallisepticums numbers in the respiratory tract.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presence of low virulence chytrid fungi could protect European amphibians from more deadly strains

TL;DR: Pre-exposure to some of these low virulence isolates protects against disease following subsequent exposure to highly virulent BdGPL in midwife toads and alters infection dynamics of its sister species B. salamandrivorans in newts, but not in salamanders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanobodies targeting conserved epitopes on the major outer membrane protein of Campylobacter as potential tools for control of Campylobacter colonization

TL;DR: Six nanobodies with a broad specificity were obtained, that recognize strains belonging to the two most relevant species, Campylobacter jejuni and Campylabacter coli, that may be useful to develop a strategy for preserving chickens from Campyobacter colonization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Racing Pigeons: A Reservoir for Nitro-Imidazole–Resistant Trichomonas gallinae

TL;DR: Trichomonas gallinae, the cause of avian trichomonosis, is most commonly found in the order Columbiformes, and a potential exchange of resistant isolates between racing pigeons and wild pigeons is suggested.
