Project description:Five healthy Laoshan dairy goats (four years old, third lactation) from Qingdao Laoshan dairy goat primary farm (Shandong Province, China) were used. The mammary gland samples were collected surgically after general anaesthesia using Xylazine Hydrochloride injection solution (Huamu Animal Health Products Co., Ltd. China) at corresponding lactation stage, including early, peak and late lactations.
Project description:The purpose of this data set was to examine the effects of excess body condition (BC) loss in dairy cattle during lactation on oocyte and cumulus cell transcriptomes. Cells were collected from dairy cattle that lost BC (L group) or maintained/gained BC (M/G group) during the first 30 days in milk (DIM).
Project description:In this study, samples of 16 dairy cows from a MAP infected farm were used. Serum, milk and fecal samples were collected. Categorizing these cows into two groups based on their MAP infection status different standard methods for detection MAP were applied. Healthy controls showed no positive results in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with serum and milk samples (cattletype MAP Ab, Qiagen, Hilden, Germany; In-direct, IDVet, Grabels, France) and after cultivation of fecal samples on commercial Her-rold´s Egg Yolk Agars (HEYM agar, Becton Dickinson, Heidelberg, Germany) for 12 weeks. Cows with positive results were grouped into MAP infected cows. Specifically, for mass spectrometry analysis serum of seven MAP infected cows and seven healthy controls were used. All animals were from the same farm and were kept under the same environmental conditions. For additional mass spectrometry analysis with a further control group sam-ples of 21 dairy cows from an uninfected farm were examined. All cattle from this farm showed negative results in ELISA with serum and milk samples. Additionally, there was never a positive result in regularly tested fecal samples and sock swab samples of this farm. For verification of differential CTSS expression in Western blot analysis five dairy cows from another infected farm were consultedincluded. MAP status of these cows was analyzed by cultivation of fecal samples on HEYM agar for 12 weeks and ELISA with se-rum samples. In detail, two cattle were categorized into healthy controls and three cattle into MAP infected cows. Withdrawal of bovine venous whole blood and experi-mental protocols were approved by the local authority, Government of Upper Bavaria, permit no. ROB-55.2-2532.Vet_03-17-106.
Project description:The aim of the study was to carry out a CGH study utilizing a set of 39 diverse Bacillus isolates. Thirty four B. cereus and five B. anthracis strains and isolates were chosen so as to represent different lineages based on previous characterizations, including MLEE and MLST (Helgason, Okstad et al. 2000; Helgason, Tourasse et al. 2004). They represent the spectrum of B. cereus phenotypic diversity by including soil, dairy and periodontal isolates in addition to virulent B. anthracis strains.
Project description:We acquired the largest bacterial proteomic resource, covering 303 species, 119 genera, and five phyla. The proteome coverage is, on average, over 50%. Additionally, we acquired further datasets for bacterial identification algorithm validation: i) 303 species at a 30-minute gradient (38 samples per day throughput), ii) 303 species at a 10-minute gradient (80 samples per day throughput), iii) reproducibility dataset, iv) genus-specific Pseudomonas spp. dataset (94 Pseudomonas spp. strains), v) genus-specific Bacillus spp. dataset (28 Bacillus cereus s.l. strains), vi) food routine dataset (60 dairy product isolates), and vii) clinical routine dataset (570 clinical isolates).
