• Co-cultivation and transcriptome sequencing of two co-existing fish pathogens Moritella viscosa and Aliivibrio wodanis 

      Hjerde, Erik; Karlsen, Christian; Sørum, Henning; Parkhill, Julian; Willassen, Nils Peder; Thomson, Nicholas R. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-10)
      Background: Aliivibrio wodanis and Moritella viscosa have often been isolated concurrently from fish with winterulcer disease. Little is known about the interaction between the two bacterial species and how the presence of one bacterial species affects the behaviour of the other. Results: The impact on bacterial growth in co-culture was investigated in vitro, and the presence of A. wodanis has an ...

      Background - The clonal diversity underpinning trends in multidrug resistant Escherichia coli causing bloodstream infections remains uncertain. We aimed to determine the contribution of individual clones to resistance over time, using large-scale genomics-based molecular epidemiology.<p> <p>Methods - This was a longitudinal, E coli population, genomic, cohort study that sampled isolates from ...
    • The genome sequence of the fish pathogen Aliivibrio salmonicida strain LFI1238 shows extensive evidence of gene decay

      <b>Background:</b> The fish pathogen Aliivibrio salmonicida is the causative agent of cold-water vibriosis in marine aquaculture. The Gram-negative bacterium causes tissue degradation, hemolysis and sepsis in vivo.<BR><BR> <b>Results:</b> In total, 4 286 protein coding sequences were identified, and the 4.6 Mb genome of A. salmonicida has a six partite architecture with two chromosomes and four ...
