A high prevalence of antimicrobial resistant Escherichia coli isolated from pigs and a low prevalence of antimicrobial resistant E. coli from cattle and sheep in Great Britain at slaughter.
TL;DR: The data indicate that antimicrobial resistance in E. coli of animal origin is due to a broad range of acquired genes.

A laboratory study of an inactivated bivalent iron restricted Salmonella enterica serovars Enteritidis and Typhimurium dual vaccine against Typhimurium challenge in chickens
Felicity A. Clifton-Hadley,M. Breslin,Lindsay M. Venables,K. A. Sprigings,S. W. Cooles,S. Houghton,Martin J. Woodward +6 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that the vaccine should be a useful tool in the control of S. Typhimurium infection in chickens by reducing colonisation of internal organs after challenge by contact seeder birds.

Non-toxigenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 strain NCTC12900 causes attaching-effacing lesions and eae-dependent persistence in weaned sheep

TL;DR: E. coli O157-associated attaching-effacing (AE) lesions were detected in the caecum and rectum of one six-week-old lamb, one day after inoculation, which is the first recorded observation of AE lesions in orally inoculated weaned sheep.

The role of SEF14 and SEF17 fimbriae in the adherence of Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis to inanimate surfaces.
TL;DR: Data indicate that SEF17 and SEF14 fimbriae mediate bacterial cell aggregation on inanimate surfaces under appropriate growth conditions.

Use of Miniaturized Protein Arrays for Escherichia coli O Serotyping
TL;DR: Preliminary findings suggest the microarray approach to E. coli O serotyping may have a higher accuracy than those of traditional O-serotyping methods.
