Bacteriophage therapy to reduce Campylobacter jejuni colonization of broiler chickens.
C. M. Loc Carrillo,Robert J. Atterbury,Ayman El-Shibiny,Phillippa L. Connerton,E. Dillon,Andrew E. Scott,Ian F. Connerton +6 more
TL;DR: The selection of appropriate phage and their dose optimization are key elements for the success of phage therapy to reduce campylobacters in broiler chickens.

Correlation of Campylobacter bacteriophage with reduced presence of hosts in broiler chicken ceca.
Robert J. Atterbury,E. Dillon,Craig Swift,Phillippa L. Connerton,Jennifer A. Frost,Christine E. R. Dodd,Catherine E. D. Rees,Ian F. Connerton +7 more
TL;DR: Campylobacteria jejuni and Campylobacter-specific bacteriophage were enumerated from broiler chicken ceca selected from 90 United Kingdom flocks and counts in the presence of bacteriophile were associated with a significant reduction.

Longitudinal study of Campylobacter jejuni bacteriophages and their hosts from broiler chickens.
Phillippa L. Connerton,C. M. Loc Carrillo,Craig Swift,E. Dillon,Andrew E. Scott,Catherine E. D. Rees,Christine E. R. Dodd,Jennifer A. Frost,Ian F. Connerton +8 more
TL;DR: In this broiler house succession was largely due to incursion of new genotypes rather than to de novo development of resistance, which is a possible obstacle to the use of bacteriophage therapy to reduce the numbers of campylobacters in chickens.

Campylobacter jejuni activates NF-κB independently of TLR2, TLR4, Nod1 and Nod2 receptors ☆
Abdullah F. Al-Sayeqh,Abdullah F. Al-Sayeqh,Michael F. Loughlin,E. Dillon,Kenneth H. Mellits,Ian F. Connerton +5 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the role of TLRs (TLR2 and TLR4) and Nods (Nod1 and Nod2) receptors in mediating NF-kappaB activation by C. jejuni finds that this mechanism may represent a novel mechanism utilising unknown receptors up-regulated by yet to be characterized active component(s).

Induction of a chemoattractant transcriptional response by a Campylobacter jejuni boiled cell extract in colonocytes
Kenneth H. Mellits,Ian F. Connerton,Michael F. Loughlin,Peter Maurice Clarke,Julie A. Smith,E. Dillon,Phillippa L. Connerton,Francis Mulholland,Christopher J. Hawkey +8 more
TL;DR: A boiled cell extract of Campylobacter jejuni has components that can directly switch the phenotype of colonic epithelial cells from one of resting metabolism to a pro-inflammatory one, particularly characterized by increased expression of genes for leukocyte chemoattractant molecules.
