Brucella vulpis sp. nov. is attenuated in a BALB/c murine model of infection: Of mice and foxes
Brucellosis, caused by Brucella spp., is a zoonotic disease of global significance, affecting a wide range of animal hosts. Since the discovery of Brucella spp. in wildlife, novel bacteria belonging to the genus Brucella have been isolated across various terrestrial and aquatic animals. Among them are Brucella vulpis isolates F60T and F965 cultured from two red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) tissues, classified within the Brucella genus in 2016; however, the behavior and pathogenic potential of B. vulpis in a mouse model have not been investigated yet. In this study, the virulence and serologic response of B. vulpis F60T and F965 in BALB/c mice were investigated and compared using B. suis 1330, B. microti CCM 4915 and Brucella sp. 83–210 representative of phylogenetically more distant or non-core species, and previously shown to be also virulent in the mouse model. Our findings indicate that B. vulpis exhibits an attenuated infection pattern at 104 CFU, with lower levels of persistence in the spleen and liver than B. suis 1330, B. microti CCM 4915, and Brucella sp. 83–210, and no associated mortality in mice. B. vulpis F60T and F965 elicited a similar serologic response compared to B. suis 1330, B. microti CCM 4915, and Brucella sp. 83–210, based on an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA). These results indicate that, in a mouse infection model, B. vulpis can replicate and is attenuated, at least for the isolates investigated, compared to the other virulent Brucella spp. studied.
期刊介绍:
Veterinary Microbiology is concerned with microbial (bacterial, fungal, viral) diseases of domesticated vertebrate animals (livestock, companion animals, fur-bearing animals, game, poultry, fish) that supply food, other useful products or companionship. In addition, Microbial diseases of wild animals living in captivity, or as members of the feral fauna will also be considered if the infections are of interest because of their interrelation with humans (zoonoses) and/or domestic animals. Studies of antimicrobial resistance are also included, provided that the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge. Authors are strongly encouraged to read - prior to submission - the Editorials (''Scope or cope'' and ''Scope or cope II'') published previously in the journal. The Editors reserve the right to suggest submission to another journal for those papers which they feel would be more appropriate for consideration by that journal.
Original research papers of high quality and novelty on aspects of control, host response, molecular biology, pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of microbial diseases of animals are published. Papers dealing primarily with immunology, epidemiology, molecular biology and antiviral or microbial agents will only be considered if they demonstrate a clear impact on a disease. Papers focusing solely on diagnostic techniques (such as another PCR protocol or ELISA) will not be published - focus should be on a microorganism and not on a particular technique. Papers only reporting microbial sequences, transcriptomics data, or proteomics data will not be considered unless the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge.
Drug trial papers will be considered if they have general application or significance. Papers on the identification of microorganisms will also be considered, but detailed taxonomic studies do not fall within the scope of the journal. Case reports will not be published, unless they have general application or contain novel aspects. Papers of geographically limited interest, which repeat what had been established elsewhere will not be considered. The readership of the journal is global.
