The Role of Foxes in Transmitting Zoonotic Bacteria to Humans: A Scoping Review
ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases inflict substantial burdens on human and animal populations worldwide, and many of these infections are bacterial. An Australian study investigating environmental risk factors for Buruli ulcer in humans detected the causative agent, Mycobacterium ulcerans, in the faeces of wild foxes, a novel finding that suggests foxes may ...

Periplasmic protein EipA determines envelope stress resistance and virulence in Brucella abortus
Molecular components of the Brucella abortus cell envelope play a major role in its ability to infect, colonize and survive inside mammalian host cells. In this study, we have defined a role for a conserved gene of unknown function in B. abortus envelope

ABSTRACT The iron regulatory hormone hepcidin contributes to the pathogenesis of anemia of inflammation (AI) by inhibiting the iron exporter ferroportin in target cells, causing hypoferremia. Under acute inflammation, hepcidin induction requires hemojuvelin (Hjv), a bone morphogenetic protein co‐receptor, while Fpn mRNA is also suppressed in a hepcidin‐

Platelets Promote Brucella abortus Monocyte Invasion by Establishing Complexes With Monocytes
Brucellosis is an infectious disease elicited by bacteria of the genus Brucella. Platelets have been extensively described as mediators of hemostasis and responsible for maintaining vascular integrity.

Discospondylitis as a consequence of jugular vein septic thrombophlebitis in a Standardbred gelding
Summary This report describes the identification of C7‐T1 discospondylitis on myelography and confirmed on postmortem computed tomography and necropsy in a 4‐year‐old Standardbred gelding as the consequence of jugular vein catheterisation and secondary septic thrombophlebitis. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from both sites.

Characterization of Three Small Proteins in Brucella abortus Linked to Fucose Utilization
Despite being one of the most common zoonoses worldwide, there is currently no human vaccine to combat brucellosis. Therefore, a better understanding of the pathogenesis and biology of Brucella spp., the causative agent of brucellosis, is essential for ...

A bioconjugate vaccine against Brucella abortus produced by engineered Escherichia coli
Brucellosis, mainly caused by Brucella, is a widespread zoonotic disease worldwide, with no available effective vaccine for human use. Recently, bioconjugate vaccines against Brucella have been prepared in Yersinia enterocolitica O:9 (YeO9), whose O ...
