Analysis of Betta splendens erythrophore responses to Bacillus cereus cultured in different media

Creator:: Austin, Melissa J.
Abstract:: Biological agents and their products commonly cause foodborne illnesses. In the United States it is estimated that there are over 76 million cases of foodborne illnesses each year, resulting in an economic loss of approximately $40 billion. These high figures demonstrate the need for bioassays that display a rapid and...

Ecophylogenetic Characterization of the Gut Microbiome of At-risk Companion and Food Animals

Creator:: Kirchoff, Nicole S.
Abstract:: Agricultural and companion animals are integral to our way of life as they provide us with nourishment, financial resources, transportation, and companionship. However, pets, managed animals in the agricultural industry, as well as wild populations of food animals are all subject to health and mortality risks. The gut microbiome is...

Survival and persistence of Bacteroidales human and ruminant specific fecal markers and occurrence with fecal pathogens

Creator:: Walters, Sarah P.
Abstract:: Aquatic fecal contamination from non-point sources impairs environmental health and serves as a vehicle for transmission of waterborne disease, resulting in economic losses worldwide. Accurate methods of diagnosing fecal pollution and its source are needed to prevent human exposure, remediate pollution, and reduce economic impacts. In order to obtain this...

Bacterial Predation in Host Microbiomes

Creator:: Welsh, Rory M.
Abstract:: In host-associated microbiomes, the mechanisms that regulate community composition or the principles that govern dynamics remain far from clear. However, understanding how the structure of microbial communities shift as the system moves away from a healthy state is critical to assessing disease progression and to formulate any potential mitigation strategy....

Chemical and Genetic Investigations of Toxic Freshwater Cyanobacterial Blooms for Improved Monitoring and Understanding of Lake Ecology

Creator:: Collart, Lindsay P.
Abstract:: Toxin production by cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) in freshwater systems has lasting ecological and human impacts. Nutrients, light availability, hydrology, and microbial community composition impact the frequency and intensity of toxic cyanoHABs. Climate change will exacerbate toxic cyanoHABs, making real time and predictive monitoring a vital tool for managing...

Growth and development of tetracycline resistant Chlamydia suis

Creator:: Lenart, Jennifer
Abstract:: Tetracycline is a front line antibiotic for the treatment of chlamydial infections in both humans and animals, and the emergence of tetracycline resistant (tet[superscript R]) Chlamydia is of significant clinical importance. Recently, several tet[superscript R] chlamydial strains have been isolated from swine (Sus scrofa) raised in production facilities in Nebraska....

Fecal Bacteroidetes host distributions and environmental source tracking

Creator:: Dick, Linda K.
Abstract:: Contamination of recreational and shellfish waters with fecal pollution is a major water quality issue with associated economic impacts and human health risks. Reliable fecal source identification and rapid, quantitative analyses are essential components of risk assessment. Enteric bacteria that are endemic to specific hosts have a potential role as...

Partial purification and characterization of hemolysin from a psychrotrophic Kanagawa positive marine vibrio

Creator:: Huggins, Susan Peters
Abstract:: Psychrotrophic Kanagawa positive marine vibrios distinct from V. parahaemolyticus were isolated from shellfish collected in Yaquina Bay, Oregon. Sample enrichment in GSTB was followed by culture isolation on TCBS agar. The 235 vibrio isolates obtained were screened for gram reaction and morphology, Kanagawa reaction on Wagatsuma agar and their response...

Identification of intracellular trafficking signals contained within the vaccinia virus F13L protein

Creator:: Honeychurch, Kady M.
Abstract:: The F13L protein is the major envelope antigen of vaccinia virus, the prototypic member of the Orthopoxvirus genus. F13L is 372 residues in length and is essential for the formation of wrapped forms of virus. F13L contains a number of potential functional domains including a palmitylation site, a phospholipase domain...
