Dr Egan is currently working with Professor James Leigh on bacterial mastitis in cattle focusing on one of the causative agents, Streptococcus uberis.
This work includes the evaluation of the role of sortase anchored proteins in the virulence of S. uberis. A second project involves the comparison of virulent and avirulent strains of S. uberis to detect pathogen & host factors critical to the pathogenesis of bovine mastitis.
Dr Egan previously worked on Johne's disease and its causative agent Mycobacterium paratuberculosis in cattle, sheep and goats. Aspects of this work included isolation and characterisation of in vivo strains of M. paratuberculosis by using proteomics based methods including 2DE gel separation and mass spectrometry.
