• Chaban, Bonnie
  Detection and characterization of Campylobacter in companion animals.
• Chirino-Trejo, Manuel
  Diagnostic veterinary bacteriology/mycology in domestic and wild animals as well as monitoring of antimicrobial drug resistance in pathogenic bacteria of domestic animals. 
• Ellis, John
