The present study aimed to investigate the current situation of brucellosis in small ruminants reared in Médéa and Sidi Bel-Abbès provinces, north Algeria. To achieve this objective, 96 sera (77 sheep and 19 goat) and 57 milk (42 sheep and 15 goat) samples were collected from suspected infected animals and serologically analyzed by using ELISA. For isolation of <i>Brucella</i> spp., four placentas, two fetuses and forty-four milk samples were subjected to microbiological investigation. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was used for genomic analysis of isolated <i>Brucella</i> species. The results of this study showed that anti-<i>Brucella</i> antibodies were detected in 46 (83.6%) and 52 (54.2%) milk and serum samples, respectively. However, among 27 cases where blood samples were negative, anti-<i>Brucella</i> antibodies were still detected in 19 of the corresponding milk samples, resulting in an overall discordance rate of 36.5%. Ten <i>Brucella melitensis</i> were isolated and identified from six sheep and four goats. Of these, eight originated from milk samples. The isolated strains were assigned to sequence type ST-11 using Multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Five isolates revealing high similarity (0-2 nucleotide differences) originated from different farms, indicating a close transmission link. However, two identical caprine isolates and three other isolates showed notable genotypic variation, in comparison. The highest base difference (449-462 nucleotides) was observed for an ovine isolate originating from Sidi Bel-Abbès. The phylogenetic analysis and clustering with the West Mediterranean lineage of <i>B. melitensis</i> revealed high genetic similarity of the investigated isolates with <i>B. melitensis</i> of human origin from North Africa and travel-associated 'European' cases, especially from Morroco, Tunisia, Sweden and Italy. The results of this study highlight brucellosis in small ruminants as a significant public health risk and will help to develop effective control strategies in Algeria. These findings provide specific evidence of this risk, with <i>Brucella</i> isolation from milk and by linking theses isolates to human cases in Algeria and abroad.

However, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are not well understood. Our findings show that the influence of VOCs from the PGPR strain <i>Bacillus vallismortis</i> (EXTN-1) on tobacco plant growth is dependent on the culture media used. The VOCs released from sugar-rich media such as potato dextrose agar (PDA) and King's B (KB) media were highly effective. However, exposure to VOCs from nutrient agar (NA), tryptic soy agar (TSA), and Luria-Bertani (LB) resulted in chlorosis and stunted plant growth. This effect was caused by the discharge of a large amount of ammonia that altered the pH of the plant growth media. Seedlings exposed to VOCs for 10 days exhibited improved growth even after the VOCs were eliminated under greenhouse conditions. Priming of seeds with VOCs for 24 and 48 h induced higher growth than the untreated control, and seeds with 48 h exposure were better as compared to 24 h treatment.
