Recovery of a medieval Brucella melitensis genome using shotgun metagenomics [PDF]

, 2014
Shotgun metagenomics provides a powerful assumption-free approach to the recovery of pathogen genomes from contemporary and historical material. We sequenced the metagenome of a calcified nodule from the skeleton of a 14th-century middle-aged male ...

The X‐Ray Crystal Structure of BorF, the Flavin Reductase Subunit of a Two‐Component Flavin‐Dependent Tryptophan Halogenase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT BorF is a short‐chain flavin reductase from a desert soil bacterium that uses NADH to reduce FAD to FADH2, which is used by the tryptophan‐6‐halogenase BorH to chlorinate tryptophan in the biosynthetic pathway of borregomycin A. The X‐ray crystal structure of BorF bound to FAD was solved to 2.37 Å by molecular replacement.

Genomics reveals historic and contemporary transmission dynamics of a bacterial disease among wildlife and livestock [PDF]

, 2016
Whole-genome sequencing has provided fundamental insights into infectious disease epidemiology, but has rarely been used for examining transmission dynamics of a bacterial pathogen in wildlife.

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted

Frequency of Brucella canis seropositivity in at‐risk dogs referred for veterinary care in the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Brucella canis is a canine pathogen of zoonotic concern. It is not considered endemic in the UK, with most infections diagnosed in travelled dogs or their offspring. Methods Between March 2021 and December 2022, all dogs with a history of travel outside of the UK or clinical signs compatible with brucellosis referred for veterinary ...
