Bacterial counts in spleen
(Bio-protocol, 2013-11-05)
Bacterial loads can be determined as colony forming units (CFU) at any point of the infection by culturing spleen homogenates on agar plates. This is a reliable method for comparing the kinetics of infection in various ...
Brucella abortus ornithine lipids are dispensable outer membrane components devoid of a marked pathogen-associated molecular pattern
(PLoS One, 2011-01-07)
The brucellae are a-Proteobacteria facultative intracellular parasites that cause an important zoonosis. These bacteria escape early detection by innate immunity, an ability associated to the absence of marked pathogen-associated ...
Estandarización de un protocolo de caracterización molecular para la identificación de especie de cepas terrestres de bacterias del género Brucella
(Ediciones Unisalle, 2011-10-03)
La brucelosis es la enfermedad zoonótica más extendida en el mundo que afecta diversos animales, incluyendo especies domésticas y de vida silvestre. Es causada por una
bacteria perteneciente al género Brucella, el cual ...
Brucella ceti and brucellosis in cetaceans
(Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology, 2012-02-06)
Since the first case of brucellosis detected in a dolphin aborted fetus, an increasing number of Brucella ceti isolates has been reported in members of the two suborders of cetaceans: Mysticeti and Odontoceti. Serological ...
Brucella sp. sequence‑type 27 associated with abortion in dwarf sperm whale Kogia sima
(Springer Link, 2021-05-18)
A dwarf sperm whale Kogia sima stranded alive along the Central Pacifc Coast of Costa Rica. The whale, handled by tourists and local inhabitants, was weak, had buoyancy difculties, and eventually aborted and died, showing ...
Brucella genomics: macro and micro evolution
(MDPI AG, 2020-10-20)
Brucella organisms are responsible for one of the most widespread bacterial zoonoses,
named brucellosis. The disease affects several species of animals, including humans. One of the
most intriguing aspects of the brucellae ...
Canine brucellosis in Costa Rica reveals widespread Brucella canis infection and the recent introduction of foreign strains
(Elsevier, 2021-04-16)
Brucellosis is a prevalent disease in Costa Rica (CR), with an increasing number of human infections. Close to half of homes in CR have one or more dogs, corresponding to ∼1.4 million canines, most of them in the Central ...
Brucella abortus S19 GFP-tagged vaccine allows the serological identification of vaccinated cattle
(PLOS ONE, 2021-11-22)
Bovine brucellosis induces abortion in cows, produces important economic losses, and
causes a widely distributed zoonosis. Its eradication was achieved in several countries after
sustained vaccination with the live ...
The one hundred year journey of the genus Brucella (Mayer and Shaw 1920)
(Oxford University Press, 2021-01-01)
The genus Brucella, described by Meyer and Shaw in 1920, comprises bacterial pathogens of veterinary and public health relevance. For 36 years, the genus came to include three species that caused brucellosis in livestock ...
Platelet depletion does not alter the course of Brucella abortus infection in vivo
(Elsevier, 2022-02-23)
Brucellosis is a bacterial disease of animals and a zoonotic infection. Thrombocytopenia is a common outcome in
long-lasting brucellosis in humans. Likewise, ex vivo experiments have shown that platelets may play a role ...
