Item Comparative genomics of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale and determination of strain-specific pathogenicity and virulence(2021-09) Smith, EmilyThe subsequent chapters of this dissertation will address many of the current knowledge gaps surrounding ORT. First, comparative genomics of clinical ORT isolates from several US commercial turkey producers will highlight the genetic similarities and differences between currently circulating ORT strains. Second, a study comparing these clinical isolates to commensal isolates of ORT will reveal whether there are genetic differences between clinical and commensal isolates. Finally, a series of challenge studies will determine if clinical ORT strains that differ genomically result in differences clinically, and if controlled exposure is effective in preventing negative outcomes associated with ORT.Item E-supplement to: Efficacy of antibiotic and non-antibiotic interventions in preventing and treating necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens: a systematic review(2022) Bueno, Irene; Ricke, Isabel; Hwan, Haejin; Smith, Emily; Nault, Andre; Johnson, Timothy; Singer, Randall S.Item Effect of an Educational Intervention and a Parental Vaccine Refusal Forms on Childhood Vaccination Rates in a Clinic with a Large Somali Population(2016-03) Madlon-Kay, Diane J.; Smith, EmilyAbstract from the 2016 Research & Innovation Forum held at HealthPartners in Bloomington, MNItem Efficacy of antibiotic and non-antibiotic interventions in preventing and treating necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens: a protocol for a systematic review(2020) Bueno, Irene; Smith, Emily; Hwang, Haejin; Nault, Andre J.; Valeris-Chacin, Robert; Singer, Randall S.Necrotic enteritis is one of the most common and economically important bacterial diseases affecting the broiler industry. Limitations on the use of antimicrobials have highlighted the need to evaluate the efficacy of non-antibiotic alternatives and management strategies. However, the available evidence on the efficacy of non-antibiotic interventions for necrotic enteritis has not been systematically synthesized. Here we present a protocol to conduct a systematic review of the literature to assess the efficacy of non-antibiotic interventions compared to antibiotic interventions in preventing and treating necrotic enteritis cases in broiler chickens.
