Journal ArticleDOI
Major Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Strain Isolated in the Northwest of England Identified by Multilocus Sequence Typing
Siu Ha Lau,Suganya Reddy,John Cheesbrough,F. J. Bolton,Geraldine A. Willshaw,Tom Cheasty,Andrew J. Fox,Mathew Upton +7 more
TL;DR: MLST has identified an important genetic lineage of E. coli, designated sequence type 131 (ST-131), represented by 52 of these isolates, 51 of which were resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multilocus sequence typing of Candida glabrata reveals geographically enriched clades
TL;DR: The data demonstrate for the first time, with such a large geographically diverse strain collection, that distinct genetic clades of C. glabrata prevail in different geographical regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
UK epidemic Escherichia coli strains A–E, with CTX-M-15 β-lactamase, all belong to the international O25:H4-ST131 clone
Siu Ha Lau,Mary E. Kaufmann,David M. Livermore,Neil Woodford,Geraldine A. Willshaw,Tom Cheasty,Katie Stamper,Suganya Reddy,John Cheesbrough,F. J. Bolton,Andrew J. Fox,Mathew Upton +11 more
TL;DR: The future spread of the ST131 clone, and its UK variants, should be monitored closely and the pathogenic mechanisms explaining their success should be investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population structure, virulence potential and antibiotic susceptibility of uropathogenic Escherichia coli from Northwest England
TL;DR: It is suggested that ST127 is a recently emerged, community-associated, virulent clone that warrants further study and further support suggestions that it represents a real threat to health.
Journal ArticleDOI
A real-time PCR assay for the detection of Campylobacter jejuni in foods after enrichment culture.
TL;DR: A real-time PCR assay was developed for the quantitative detection of Campylobacter jejuni in foods after enrichment culture, which significantly reduces the total time taken for the detection of C. jejuno in foods and is an important model for other food-borne pathogens.
