This risk affects humans economically. E. tonsillarum can affect pigs, lambs, turkey, and calves by causing septicemia. ]]> 2020-03-12 20:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/holtgravelindsey/xrbig8i2yjnc/wish/459507991 holtgravelindsey https://padlet.com/holtgravelindsey/xrbig8i2yjnc/wish/459508020 Since E. tonsillarum is very infectious to livestock animals, it's important to find a way to keep the animals healthy in order to not lose money. This new research is continuing to examine the efficacy of current vaccines used for Erysipelothrix species.]]> 2020-03-12 20:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/holtgravelindsey/xrbig8i2yjnc/wish/459508020 holtgravelindsey https://padlet.com/holtgravelindsey/xrbig8i2yjnc/wish/459508055 There isn't much information available for S. peroris, and the pathogenesis of the bacteria has yet to be determined. It can be found in human mouths and pharynx.

S. peroris is less related to Neisseria pharyngis, another fairly pathogenic bacteria to animals.]]> 2020-03-12 20:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/holtgravelindsey/xrbig8i2yjnc/wish/459508167 holtgravelindsey https://padlet.com/holtgravelindsey/xrbig8i2yjnc/wish/459508196 As mentioned, not much is known about S. peroris. But this study was conducted to observe the flora of an infants mouth from birth to 2 years old. S. peroris is found in the infants mouth until around 30-39 weeks old, where it rapidly decreases.

In this project, we were given the sequences to begin with and didn't have to worry about sequencing our organisms. However, if in the future we get to research where we need to identify an organism by sequencing them, this process is how it would be done. It's important to understand how 16S rRNA sequences can also be used to show the relationship of the organism being researched, and what some similar organisms are. This is helpful in trying to identify potentially new characteristics of an organism. It is extremely important to continue researching the microbiome because the more we know about the microbes that are around us, the more we can help people that they may affect. Two projects that really stood out to me and were done very well were Kayla Smith's and Gabby Fricker's.]]> 2020-03-12 20:08:31 UTC https://padlet.com/holtgravelindsey/xrbig8i2yjnc/wish/459508228
