The efficacies of trans-cinnamaldehyde (TC) and eugenol (EG) for reducing Salmonella
enterica serovar Enteritidis colonization in broiler chickens were investigated. In three …

A multiplex reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (mRT-PCR) was developed and
optimized for the detection of type A influenza virus; the assay simultaneously differentiates …

Using peptide nanoparticle technology, we have designed two novel vaccine constructs
representing M2e in monomeric (Mono-M2e) and tetrameric (Tetra-M2e) forms. Groups of …

A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed and optimized to simultaneously
detect 6 avian respiratory pathogens. Six sets of specific oligonucleotide primers for …

β-Lactams disrupt bacterial cell wall synthesis, and these agents are the most widely used
antibiotics. One of the principle mechanisms by which bacteria resist the action of β-lactams is …

Current influenza vaccines should be improved by the addition of universal influenza
vaccine antigens in order to protect against multiple virus strains. We used our self-assembling …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing
Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) clinical isolates to biocides. We also …

Background— Blood flow limitation to exercising muscles engages the muscle reflex during
exercise, evoking an increase in heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), and muscle …

Salmonella Enteritidis is a major foodborne pathogen for which chickens serve as reservoir
hosts. Reducing Salmonella Enteritidis carriage in chickens would reduce contamination of …

Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is a major foodborne pathogen in the United States,
causing gastroenteritis in humans, primarily through consumption of contaminated eggs. …
