Geographical distribution of Brucella melitensis inferred from rpoB gene variation

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2017
Introduction: Currently available tests have limitations for the identification of Brucella species and strains, and their genetic lineage. The genome sequence of the rpoB gene encoding the β-subunit of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase was investigated for ...

Vaccination control programs for multiple livestock host species: an age-stratified, seasonal transmission model for brucellosis control in endemic settings [PDF]

, 2016
Brucella melitensis causes production losses in ruminants and febrile disease in humans in Africa, Central Asia, the Middle East and elsewhere. Although traditionally understood to affect primarily sheep and goats, it is also the predominant Brucella ...

Brucella melitensis omp31 Mutant Is Attenuated and Confers Protection Against Virulent Brucella melitensis Challenge in BALB/c Mice

Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2020
For control of brucellosis in small ruminants, attenuated B. melitensis Rev1 is used but it can be virulent for animals and human. Based on these aspects, it is essential to identify potential immunogens to avoid these problems in prevention of ...

The Glutaminase-dependent system confers extreme acid resistance to new species and atypical strains of Brucella [PDF]

, 2017
Neutralophilic bacteria have developed specific mechanisms to cope with the acid stress encountered in environments such as soil, fermented foods, and host compartments. In Escherichia coli, the glutamate decarboxylase (Gad)-dependent system is extremely

A Retrospective Study (2015–2020) on the Risk Factors Associated with the Persistence and Spread of Brucellosis in Buffalo Farms in Caserta Province, Italy

Veterinary Sciences
Bovine and bubaline brucellosis is still present in some regions of Italy. Although control and eradication measures have been implemented for several years, the brucellosis situation remains problematic in the Campania region.

Btp Proteins from Brucella abortus Modulate the Lung Innate Immune Response to Infection by the Respiratory Route [PDF]

, 2017
Although inhalation of infected aerosols is a frequent route for Brucella infection in humans, it rarely causes pulmonary clinical manifestations, suggesting a mild or nearly absent local inflammatory response.

In vitro susceptibility of Brucella melitensis to antibiotics [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1991
The in vitro susceptibilities of 86 recent clinical isolates of Brucella melitensis to minocycline, streptomycin, co-trimoxazole, rifampin, and six fluoroquinolones were determined. Minocycline exhibited the lowest MIC and was followed by rifampin and streptomycin. Among the quinolones, WIN 57273 and ciprofloxacin were the most active agents.

Testicular abscesses due to Brucella melitensis

New Microbes and New Infections, 2018
Brucella may cause testicular masses, which may be confused with a testicular tumour. We present the case of a man with fever and oedema in the scrotum. Ultrasound and colour Doppler ultrasound with a 6 to 15 MHz high-frequency linear-array transducer was performed, revealing bilateral scrotal wall oedema, heterogeneous echo texture and slightly ...
