Overview

Paul Barrow is affiliated with the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom and primarily conducts research within the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Their work focuses on multiple scientific domains including food science, endocrinology, animal science and zoology, infectious diseases, and ecology.

Their research topics cover a range of areas with notable emphasis on:

  • Salmonella and Campylobacter epidemiology
  • Bacteriophages and microbial interactions
  • Escherichia coli research studies
  • Viral gastroenteritis research and epidemiology
  • Animal Nutrition and Physiology
  • Trace Elements in Health
  • Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria

Paul Barrow has co-authored frequently with several researchers, including Ângelo Berchieri (9 collaborations), Oliveiro Caetano de Freitas Neto (8 collaborations), Mauro de Mesquita Souza Saraiva (7 collaborations), Neil Foster (5 collaborations), and Lucas Bocchini Rodrigues Alves (5 collaborations).

The scientist's publication record includes numerous papers across several venues, with repeated contributions to journals such as Avian Pathology, Pathogens, Microorganisms, Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, and Microbiology Spectrum.

Significant recent papers authored or co-authored by Paul Barrow include:

  • "Outer membrane protein size and LPS O-antigen define protective antibody targeting to the Salmonella surface," 2020, Nature Communications
  • "Genome degradation promotes Salmonella pathoadaptation by remodeling fimbriae-mediated proinflammatory response," 2023, National Science Review
  • "Revisiting Persistent Salmonella Infection and the Carrier State: What Do We Know?", 2021, Pathogens
  • "Whole-genome sequencing and gene sharing network analysis powered by machine learning identifies antibiotic resistance sharing between animals, humans and environment in livestock farming," 2022, PLoS Computational Biology
  • "Prophylactic Delivery of a Bacteriophage Cocktail in Feed Significantly Reduces Salmonella Colonization in Pigs," 2022, Microbiology Spectrum

The scientific inquiries led or participated in by Paul Barrow address key issues related to bacterial pathogens, antibiotic resistance, host-pathogen interactions, and microbial ecology within agricultural contexts. This includes work on pathogen epidemiology, host immune response mechanisms, and the role of bacteriophages in controlling bacterial colonization.
