Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid differentiation of Australian, European and American ranaviruses based on variation in major capsid protein gene sequence.
TL;DR: Differences in restriction endonuclease patterns of specific PCR products were predicted and confirmed between EHNV, BIV, and WV and provided a basis for rapid differentiation of these viruses from each other and from ESV/ECV and FV3/GV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Replication of Staphylococcal Multiresistance Plasmids
Neville Firth,Sumalee Apisiridej,Tracey Berg,Brendon A. O’Rourke,S.P. Curnock,Keith G. H. Dyke,Ronald A. Skurray +6 more
TL;DR: It is established that many of the large multiresistance plasmids that have been identified in clinical staphylococci, which were formerly presumed to be unrelated, actually utilize an evolutionarily related theta-mode replication system.
Journal ArticleDOI
An epizootic of Chlamydia psittaci equine reproductive loss associated with suspected spillover from native Australian parrots.

TL;DR: The results of this work suggest that C. psittaci may be a more significant agent of equine reproductive loss than thought and a range of studies are now required to evaluate the exact role that the avian pathogen plays in equine Reproductive loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Transmembrane Segment 10 in Efflux Mediated by the Staphylococcal Multidrug Transport Protein QacA
TL;DR: The effects of N-ethyl-maleimide treatment on ethidium and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole export mediated by the QacA mutants suggest that the face of transmembrane segment 10 that contains Asp-323 may also be close to the monovalent substrate-binding site(s), making this helix an integral component of theQacA multidrug-binding pocket.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular evidence to suggest pigeon-type Chlamydia psittaci in association with an equine foal loss.
TL;DR: A broader diversity of C. psittaci strains may be detected in horses and in association with reproductive loss, highlighting the need for an expansion of surveillance studies globally to understand the epidemiology of equine chlamydiosis and the associated zoonotic risk.
