Biological Traits and Comprehensive Genomic Analysis of Novel Bacteriophage EFP6.

is a prevalent opportunistic pathogen associated with chicken embryonic and neonatal chick mortality, posing a significant challenge in poultry farming. In the current study, strain EF6, isolated from a recent hatchery outbreak, served as the host bacterium for the isolation of a novel phage EFP6, capable of lysing . Transmission electron microscopy revealed a hexagonal head and a short tail, classifying EFP6 as a member of the family.

Epidemiological, Virulence, and Antibiotic Resistance Analysis of , a Major Source of Threat to Livestock and Poultry in Some Regions of Xinjiang, China.

() is recognized as a zoonotic pathogen with an increasing threat to livestock and poultry. However, research on of animal origin remains limited. To address the gap, a comprehensive investigation was carried out by collecting a total of 311 samples from the farms of four animal species (dairy cow, chicken, sheep, and pig) in selected areas of Xinjiang, China.

, a trans-coding sRNA is involved in virulence modulation targeting mRNA in Typhimurium.

Typhimurium (STM) is a food-borne Gram-negative bacterium, which can infect humans and a wide range of livestock and poultry, causing a variety of diseases such as septicaemia, enteritis and abortion. We will decipher the impacts of sRNA on STM virulence and provide a theoretical basis to reveal the regulatory role and molecular mechanism of . The main objective of this study was to clarify whether sRNA exerts regulatory roles on STM pathogenicity.

The effect of bovine IFN-alpha on the immune response in guinea pigs vaccinated with DNA vaccine of foot-and-mouth disease virus.

In this study, we constructed recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1/P12X3C3D including P1, 2A, 3C, 3D and part of 2B gene of FMDV and pcDNA3.1/IFN containing the gene encoding bovine IFN-alpha.
