Attenuated Salmonella strains are currently in production as vaccines for protection of animals against salmonellosis. Such commercial strains offer the potential to deliver heterologous antigen to...
Holden, J, Coloe, P, Smooker, P
SmpB is an outer membrane protein of Brachyspira hyodysentariae that is present in some strains of the bacterium. It shares the same locus as SmpA, but all strains tested to date contain either one...
Characterization of Campylobacter concisus hemolysins (2008)
Istivan, T, Smith, S, Fry, B, Coloe, P
Campylobacter concisus is an opportunistic pathogen commonly found in the human oral cavity. It has also been isolated from clinical sources including gastroenteritis cases. Both secreted and...

No abstract.
Campylobacter jejuni is a common cause of bacterial enteritis. The surface capsular polysaccharides are important for this bacterium to survive in the environment, but little is known about their...
Van, T, Moutafis, G, Istivan, T, Thuoc, T, Coloe, P
A study was conducted to examine the levels of Salmonella spp. contamination in raw food samples, including chicken, beef, pork, and shellfish, from Vietnam and to determine their antibiotic...
Isolation of a gene that is involved in Campylobacter jejuni 81116 cytotoxin activation (2007)
Cytotoxin fractions were isolated from Campylobacter jejuni 81116 and semi-purified by size-exclusion liquid chromatography. The fraction showing the strongest toxicity was injected into mice to...

Campylobacter jejuni is recognized as the most common identifiable pathogen associated with the development of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), an acute autoimmune-mediated disease affecting the...
Antibiotic resistance in food-borne bacterial contaminants in Vietnam (2007)
Van, T, Moutafis, G, Thuoc, T, Coloe, P
This study was conducted to examine the rate of contamination and the molecular characteristics of enteric bacteria isolated from a selection of food sources in Vietnam. One hundred eighty raw food...
SmpB: A novel outer membrane protein present in some Brachyspira hyodysenteriae strains (2006)
Holden, J, Moutafis, G, Istivan, T, Coloe, P, Smooker, P
A novel outer membrane protein-encoding gene was identified in Brachyspira hyodysenteriae. The predicted protein, SmpB, was encoded by a gene that contains regions of identity with that encoding the...
Phospholipase A in gram-negative bacteria and its role in pathogenesis (2006)
Phospholipase A (PLA) is one of the few enzymes present in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, and is likely to be involved in the membrane disruption processes that occur during host cell...
Gold nanoparticle formation during bromoaurate reduction by amino acids (2005)
Bhargava, S, Booth, J, Agrawal, S, Coloe, P, Kar, G
The synthesis and characterization of water-soluble dispersions of gold nanoparticles by the reduction of a potassium tetrabromoaurate precursor solution using the amino acids L-tyrosine,...
