  Read Time: In the largest ever study of its kind into an equine pathogen, which was published today in the journal 'Microbial Genomics', scientists in 18 countries used the latest DNA sequencing techniques to track the bacteria Streptococcus equi as it caused the disease strangles in horses around the world. Strangles, caused by Streptococcus equi, is the most frequently diagnosed infectious disease of horses, with 600 outbreaks estimated to occur in the United Kingdom each year. Streptococcus equi invades the lymph nodes of head and neck, causing them to swell and form abscesses that...

In additi...

Julie Segre Delivers the Anita Roberts Lecture BY SUNITA CHOPRA, NCI We often associate microbes with disease. But the Human Microbiome Project has shown that people live in a mutually beneficial relationship with trillions of microbes on and in their bodies. Human diseases affecting the mouth (cavities) and gastrointestinal tract (inflammatory bowel disease) as well as more complex diseases such as premature birth or type 2 diabetes are associated with alterations in the microbiome. And now, clinical studies are investigating whether those modifications might even drive some features of dise...
