A potential virulence factor: Brucella flagellin FliK does not affect the main biological properties but inhibits the inflammatory response in RAW264.7 cells
In conclusion, our study suggests that Brucella FliK may act as a virulence factor involved in the regulation of Brucella pathogenicity and modulation of the host immune response.PMID:38648715 | DOI:10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112119 (Source: International Immunopharmacology)

Time, temperature and media: the three keys to improve the recovery of Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis from preputial bull samples
AbstractThe isolation ofCampylobacter fetus subsp.venerealis (Cfv) from clinical samples is the gold standard for confirming cases of bovine genital campylobacteriosis, an important cause of infertility in cattle and a potential public health concern. Furthermore, isolation is also necessary for the development of autologous vaccines, characterization of strains for antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, etc. Nevertheless, the sensitivity of culture methods is usually low, and there is no standardized protocol to maximize the recovery of Cfv from clinical samples. The aim of the current study is to design a protocol for th...

Investigation of multi-infections and breast disease comorbidities in granulomatous mastitis
CONCLUSION: Multi-infections and breast disease comorbidities may further complicate diagnosis and management of GM. The findings of this study may raise additional questions about the nature of the disease or potential complications associated with it.PMID:38576970 | PMC:PMC10990350 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001636 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Seroprevalence of brucellosis antibodies and associated risk factors among the hospitalized patient, Aleppo, Syria: a hospital-based cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: This study is the first to describe the epidemiology of brucellosis in northern Syria. It clearly shows high rates of positivity, which reflects immense challenges facing the public health sector in Syria. The best next step in light of this crisis is to raise awareness among population about brucellosis and its risk factor.PMID:38576993 | PMC:PMC10990308 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001687 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Knowledge-attitude and practice of Anthrax and brucellosis: Implications for zoonotic disease surveillance and control in pastoral communities of Afar and Somali region, Ethiopia
ConclusionOur study revealed significant under-reporting of Anthrax and brucellosis, and weak prevention and response in humans, mostly associated with poor disease knowledge of healthcare providers. Ability to respond to animal outbreaks was limited by vaccine and drugs availability, timely vaccine administration and the mobility of pastoralists. (Source: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases)

Getting to the point: unipolar growth of Hyphomicrobiales
Curr Opin Microbiol. 2024 Apr 2;79:102470. doi: 10.1016/j.mib.2024.102470. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe governing principles and suites of genes for lateral elongation or incorporation of new cell wall material along the length of a rod-shaped cell are well described. In contrast, relatively little is known about unipolar elongation or incorporation of peptidoglycan at one end of the rod. Recent work in three related model systems of unipolar growth (Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Brucella abortus, and Sinorhizobium meliloti) has clearly established that unipolar growth in the Hyphomicrobiales order relies on a set of gen...
