Draft genome sequences of 21 sp. isolates from raw bovine milk.

Members of the genus are commonly used as probiotics in livestock production. We isolated several strains from healthy dairy cattle. The role of these strains in mammary health is of interest.

Draft genome sequences of 13 subsp. isolates from chickens, cows, and Canadian outbreaks.

is the etiological agent responsible for salmonellosis. Here, we report the draft whole genome sequences of 13 . subsp.

Detection of fecal bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes in drinking water collected from three First Nations communities in Manitoba, Canada.

This study analyzed the microbiological quality of drinking and source water from three First Nations communities in Manitoba, Canada that vary with respect to the source, storage and distribution of drinking water. Community A relies on an aquifer and Community B on a lake as source water to their water treatment plants. Community C does not have a water treatment plant and uses well water.

Monitoring Survivability and Infectivity of Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDv) in the Infected On-Farm Earthen Manure Storages (EMS).

In recent years, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) has caused major epidemics, which has been a burden to North America's swine industry. Low infectious dose and high viability in the environment are major challenges in eradication of this virus. To further understand the viability of PEDv in the infected manure, we longitudinally monitored survivability and infectivity of PEDv in two open earthen manure storages (EMS; previously referred to as lagoon) from two different infected swine farms identified in the province of Manitoba, Canada.
