Enteric redmouth disease (ERM) is a serious septicemic bacterial disease of salmonid fish
species. It is caused by Yersinia ruckeri, a Gram-negative rod-shaped enterobacterium. It …

Pathogenic species in the Yersinia genus have historically been targets for research aimed
at understanding how bacteria evolve into mammalian pathogens. The advent of large-scale …

The human gut microbiota is a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes, but little is known
about their diversity and richness within the gut. Here we analyse the antibiotic resistance …

Continued advancements in sequencing technologies have fueled the development of new
sequencing applications and promise to flood current databases with raw data. A number of …

Most pathogens are able to infect multiple hosts but some are highly adapted to a single-
host species. A detailed understanding of the basis of host specificity can provide important …

The genus Yersinia has been used as a model system to study pathogen evolution. Using
whole-genome sequencing of all Yersinia species, we delineate the gene complement of …

Fish living in the wild as well as reared in the aquaculture facilities are susceptible to
infectious diseases caused by a phylogenetically diverse collection of bacterial pathogens …

In this study, next generation sequencing (NGS) was used to survey the 16S rRNA ribotypes
of the distal intestinal lumen and mucosal epithelium of farmed rainbow trout. This approach …

Many bacterial pathogens utilize a type III secretion system (T3SS) to inject virulence effector
proteins into host cells during infection. Previously, we found that enteropathogenic …
