Risk Ranking of Microbiological Hazards in Food (2015–2019)

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract Microbiological food safety risks arise from pathogens that can contaminate food at different points along the food chain. Exposure to these hazards can result in illnesses that can vary widely in severity and duration, depending on factors such as the specific pathogen involved, the amount of the pathogen ingested, and the susceptibility of ...

Lipid A Has Significance for Optimal Growth of Coxiella burnetii in Macrophage-Like THP-1 Cells and to a Lesser Extent in Axenic Media and Non-phagocytic Cells

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Lipid A is an essential basal component of lipopolysaccharide of most Gram-negative bacteria. Inhibitors targeting LpxC, a conserved enzyme in lipid A biosynthesis, are antibiotic candidates against Gram-negative pathogens.

Tick‐Tac‐Foe: When Ticks, Trade, and Zoonotic Pathogens Align in African Wet Meat Markets

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases account for over ∼60% of infectious diseases and present a significantly growing fatality threat in Africa. Live and wet markets (LWMs) in Africa function as key economic venues that support human livelihoods through social interaction and trade in food stuff, including meat and other animal‐based products.

Coxiella burnetii Infection Among Blood Donors From Baden‐Wuerttemberg Province and Hesse Province, Germany: A Multicentre Cross‐Sectional Serological Study

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
This study analyzes the seroprevalence of Coxiella burnetii in a German non‐risk population using a stratified sampling approach across two federal states (n = 8400 potential samples). Screening of over 5000 blood donors reveals an overall seroprevalence of 2.96%.

Permissiveness of bovine epithelial cells from lung, intestine, placenta and udder for infection with Coxiella burnetii

Veterinary Research, 2017
Ruminants are the main source of human infections with the obligate intracellular bacterium Coxiella (C.) burnetii. Infected animals shed high numbers of C. burnetii by milk, feces, and birth products.

Coxiella burnetii effector CvpE maintains biogenesis of Coxiella-containing vacuoles by suppressing lysosome tubulation through binding PI(3)P and perturbing PIKfyve activity on lysosomes

Virulence
Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetii) is the causative agent of Q fever, a zoonotic disease. Intracellular replication of C. burnetii requires the maturation of a phagolysosome-like compartment known as the replication permissive Coxiella-containing vacuole ...

Elevated Cholesterol in the Coxiella burnetii Intracellular Niche Is Bacteriolytic

mBio, 2017
Coxiella burnetii is an intracellular bacterial pathogen and a significant cause of culture-negative endocarditis in the United States. Upon infection, the nascent Coxiella phagosome fuses with the host endocytic pathway to form a large lysosome-like ...
