| persisting fever in a patient with brucella endocarditis: occult splenic abscess. | brucella endocarditis, despite its high mortality rate with combined medical and surgical treatment, has a low occurrence rate in cases of brucellosis and has been endemic in regions surrounding turkey. rarely, patients with infective endocarditis with common microorganisms develop a splenic abscess. a patient is reported on with brucella endocarditis and persistent fever. an occult splenic abscess was found. this is the second reported case in the literature of brucella endocarditis with spleni ... | 2003 | 12807868 |
| epitope mapping of the brucella melitensis bp26 immunogenic protein: usefulness for diagnosis of sheep brucellosis. | sequencing of bp26, the gene encoding the brucella sp. immunogenic bp26 periplasmic protein, was performed in the reference strains of brucella abortus, b. suis, and b. ovis. the three bp26 sequences were almost identical to that published for b. melitensis 16m bp26, and only minor nucleotide substitutions, without modifying the amino acid sequence, were observed between species. the bp26 genes of the seven b. abortus biovar reference strains and b. abortus s19 and rb51 vaccine strains were also ... | 2003 | 12853399 |
| expression cloning and biochemical characterization of a rhizobium leguminosarum lipid a 1-phosphatase. | lipid a of rhizobium leguminosarum, a nitrogen-fixing plant endosymbiont, displays several significant structural differences when compared with escherichia coli. an especially striking feature of r. leguminosarum lipid a is that it lacks both the 1- and 4'-phosphate groups. distinct lipid a phosphatases that attack either the 1 or the 4' positions have previously been identified in extracts of r. leguminosarum and rhizobium etli but not sinorhizobium meliloti or e. coli. here we describe the id ... | 2003 | 12869541 |
| characterization of new members of the group 3 outer membrane protein family of brucella spp. | impairment of the omp25 gene in brucella spp. leads to attenuated strains and confers protection to the host. omp25 and omp31, whose functions remain unknown, were the first characterized members of group 3 outer membrane proteins (omps) (25 to 34 kda). recently, genomic and proteomic approaches identified five new putative members of this family, some of which are produced in b. melitensis or b. abortus. in the present study, using protein microsequencing, we identified new members of group 3 o ... | 2003 | 12874309 |
| biotypes and antimicrobial susceptibilities of brucella isolates. | 41 brucella strains isolated from blood and cerebrospinal fluid cultures were identified to species level and biotypes detected. all of the isolates were brucella melitensis: 2 strains of b. melitensis biotype-1 and 39 strains of b. melitensis biotype-3. in vitro activities of these strains were detected by the e test method. according to the 90% minimal inhibitory concentration (mic90) values, the most active agent was doxycycline (mic90 0.064 microg/ml), followed by ciprofloxacin (mic90 0.25 m ... | 2003 | 12875523 |
| spontaneous bacterial peritonitis caused by brucella melitensis. | this report presents a case of blood and ascitic fluid culture-proven spontaneous bacterial peritonitis caused by brucella melitensis in a 67-y-old male with congestive heart failure. ten cases of reported previously brucella peritonitis are reviewed, 3 of which were ascitic fluid culture negative. | 2003 | 12875525 |
| brucellar spondylitis. | we carried out a prospective analysis of 86 patients with brucellosis, and 26 (30%) cases were diagnosed as brucellar spondylitis. two patients had cervical involvement, two thoracic, and 21 lumbosacral as seen in mri. four patients had epidural abscess and two had paravertebral abscess. all patients received combined antibiotic therapy for 4 to 12 months. those with cervical involvement underwent surgical treatment because of medullar compression. neither death nor severe sequelae were observed ... | 2004 | 12879273 |
| purification and characterization of an immunogenic aminopeptidase of brucella melitensis. | an immunogenic aminopeptidase was purified from brucella melitensis strain vtrm1. the purification procedure consisted of ammonium sulfate fractionation and three chromatographic steps. this procedure resulted in a yield of 29% and a 144-fold increase in specific activity. the aminopeptidase appeared to be a monomeric enzyme with a molecular mass of 96 kda and an isoelectric point of 4.8. its activity was optimal at ph 7.0 at 40 degrees c. the enzyme was strongly inhibited by edta, 1,10-phenathr ... | 2003 | 12933870 |
| epidemiology of ovine brucellosis in awassi sheep in northern jordan. | we used a combined cross-sectional and longitudinal design to estimate seroprevalence of brucella antibodies in awassi sheep and the incidence of abortion due to brucellosis during one lambing season, and to test risk factors. the brucella organisms isolated from aborted fetuses and vaginal swabs were characterized as brucella melitensis biotype 3. seventy awassi sheep flocks were selected randomly from northern jordan. sixty two of the 70 flocks were used in the cross-sectional study and 8 floc ... | 2003 | 12941554 |
| brucellosis outbreak due to unpasteurized raw goat cheese in andalucia (spain), january - march 2002. | eleven brucellosis cases were identified in three municipalities of cordoba (andalucia, spain). a case-control study was conducted, selecting three cases per control. persons having eaten unpasteurized raw goat cheese produced in a farmhouse located in the epidemic territory, were at higher risk for presenting brucellosis (or=21.6, ic95%=1.6-639.8). brucella melitensis serovar 3 was identified in clinical specimens and in goat tissue and milk samples from the herd's farmhouse. preventive measure ... | 2003 | 12941982 |
| neurobrucellosis presenting as leukoencephalopathy: the role of cytotoxic t lymphocytes. | a 65-year-old man developed a leukoencephalopathy associated with neurobrucellosis. the disease followed a 15-month progressive course with neurologic symptoms, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral symmetrical t2 signal hyperintensities in the white matter. biopsy of the cerebral cortex and white matter was significant for nongranulomatous meningoencephalitis with reactive microgliosis and astrogliosis. the inflammatory infiltrate was predominantly composed of t lymphocytes, includi ... | 2003 | 12946213 |
| shell vial culture as a tool for isolation of brucella melitensis in chronic hepatic abscess. | a 50-year-old man was admitted with a liver abscess and positive serology for brucella spp. liver pus and blood cultures remained sterile on conventional culture. inoculation of liver pus onto eukaryotic cells by the centrifugation-shell vial technique yielded brucella melitensis, identified by 16s rrna gene amplification and sequencing. | 2003 | 12958294 |
| fluorescence polarization assay for diagnosis of human brucellosis. | fluorescence polarization immunoassay (fpa) uses molecular rotational properties to measure antibody binding to antigen directly. the potential use of this method was assessed in comparison to a competitive enzyme immunoassay (celisa) and conventional serological tests for the diagnosis of brucellosis on a total of 587 human sera. based on 340 sera from asymptomatic blood donors with no evidence of brucellosis, the specificity of the fpa was 97.9 % using a cut-off value of 72 mp. sera from bruce ... | 2003 | 12972582 |
