Thoracic Actinomycosis: A Rare Cause of Pleural Thickening

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
We report a case of a man who presented with a chest wall mass and was found to have pleural thickening on PET, with features concerning for mesothelioma. Further investigation revealed a diagnosis of actinomyces, a rare infectious cause of pleural thickening.

Molecular analysis of 3D domain swapping in the acylphosphatase from Escherichia coli

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 336-347, April 2026.
Structures of the monomer and intertwined dimer of the acylphosphatase from E. coli shed light on the molecular basis of its 3D domain swapping.Three‐dimensional domain swapping is a mechanism by which proteins form oligomers. At present, the molecular basis that dictates whether some proteins fold in their monomeric form or as intertwined oligomers is

Primary Murine Macrophages as a Tool for Virulence Factor Discovery in Coxiella burnetii

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Coxiella burnetii requires a type IVB secretion system (T4SS) to promote intracellular replication and virulence. We hypothesized that Coxiella employs its T4SS to secrete effectors that enable stealthy colonization of immune cells.

From Lake Victoria to the Tap: Antibiotic Resistance and Pathogenic Contamination of Kisumu City Water Supply and Wastewater Network

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 547-559, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Waterborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pose mounting public health threats across sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly in rapidly urbanising regions dependent on untreated or poorly treated surface waters. This study applied shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterise microbial communities, virulence factors and antibiotic ...

Acute hepatitis associated with Q fever in a man in Greece: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2007
Coxiella burnetii is the causative agent of Q fever. Q fever is a worldwide zoonosis that is responsible for various clinical manifestations. However, in Greece hepatitis due to Coxiella is rarely encountered.

A review of coxiellosis (Q fever) and brucellosis in goats and humans: Implications for disease control in smallholder farming systems in Southeast Asia

One Health, 2023
Coxiella burnetii and Brucella spp. are pathogenic bacteria that can cause large-scale outbreaks in livestock. Furthermore, these infectious agents are capable of causing zoonotic infections and therefore pose a risk to the close relationship between ...

Efficient activation of T cells by human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (HMDCs) pulsed with Coxiella burnetii outer membrane protein Com1 but not by HspB-pulsed HMDCs [PDF]

, 2011
Background Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium and the etiologic agent of Q fever; both coxiella outer membrane protein 1 (Com1) and heat shock protein B (HspB) are its major immunodominant antigens.

The Squalene Oil‐in‐Water Nanoemulsion Vaccine Carrier AddaVax Potentiates TLR‐Induced B‐Cell Responses

Cytometry Part A, Volume 109, Issue 3, Page 180-191, March 2026.
ABSTRACT For vaccination, the mechanisms of action of antigens and of immunostimulatory pathogen‐associated molecular pattern (PAMP) adjuvants are better understood than the roles of the depot, carrier, and other formulation‐related influences. Here, we carried out cytometric studies of vaccine formulations and the effect of adjuvant formulations on B ...

Coxiella burnetii-containing vacuoles interact with host recycling endosomal proteins Rab11a and Rab35 for vacuolar expansion and bacterial growth

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionCoxiella burnetii is a gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium and a zoonotic pathogen that causes human Q fever. The lack of effective antibiotics and a licensed vaccine for Coxiella in the U.S. warrants further research into Coxiella
