powerpoint presentation laboratory diagnostics of brucellosis m. b. sharapov, dmsc cdc tashkent office 2017 what issues hinder the timely diagnosis of brucellosis? the diversity of clinical manifestations frequently causes doctors to mistake this disease for other infectious or non-infectious diseases, which often leads to late diagnosis of this disease and results in needless and extended suffering of the patients while not receiving necessary treatment. isolating a culture of the pathogen from the patient is often unsuccessful and may take a long time (up to a month), thus forcing to resort to serological tests. however, the likelihood of seronegative cases, cross-reaction of brucellosis antibodies with other bacterial antigens, and poorly developed diagnostic titer in the serological tests encumber interpreting the test results. one alternative could be setting up a polymerase chain reaction (pcr); however, isolating brucellae dna does not prove active infection with viable brucellae microbes, and cannot server as a …

e agar, serum-dextrose agar (with 2–5% cow or horse serum) can be used for the culture medium. incubation at 37 degrees celsius and 5–10% co2 would take up to 30 days. brucellae are oxidase and urease positive, very small, gram-negative coccobacteria. (borrowed from yagupsky p, 2015) brucellae isolation rate increase and time frame reduction methods the biphasic ruiz-castaneda method, the automatic method, and lysis centrifugation allow determining the culture in a short period of time: within 2–4 to 6–7 days (yagupsky p, 2015). in the past 30 years, the automatic method has revolutionized the isolation of bacterial cultures from blood. the method is based on determining the oxygen consumption and the concentration of co2 released by the growing bacteria. a significant change in the co2 concentration in the vial can be detected before the bacteria colonies become visible. bactec, bact/alert and vital (biomerieux) systems facilitate the culture isolation within 4–7 …

ecies grow faster than others: melitensis, abortus, suis > neotomae, canis > ovis. franco mp et al. human brucellosis // lancet inf dis 2007;7:775-86 8 brucella cultivation and laboratory safety 2% of brucellosis cases worldwide are linked to infecting the personnel working with a brucella culture in the laboratory environment, (yagupsky p, baron e, 2005). 10–100 bacteria are sufficient to infect personnel. the microbe enters through the conjunctiva, respiratory tract, gi tract, or skin. it can survive on the surface of laboratory equipment for a long time. working with cultures is hazardous. example: in a laboratory in turkey, 400 brucella cultures were isolated. out of 55 laboratory technicians, 10 (18%) were infected with brucellosis (ergonul o et al., 2004). work with a culture must take place in a laboratory with the most stringent observation of the safety regimen and in conditions that meet the standards. cases of brucellosis infection from …

hereas persistent high titers indicate the infection process activity. in patients suffering from local complications, antibody titers would fall very slowly. recurring elevated igg and iga titers, but not igm titers are typical for the exacerbation. o-polysaccharides of brucellae are similar to polysaccharides of other bacteria (such as yersinia enterocolitica, salmonella urbana, vibrio cholera, francisella tularensis, and e. coli 0:157), due to which cross reactions may be observed. the wright test is widely used in clinical practice. the heddleson test is user-friendly for field investigations. the rose bengal test is traditionally used in western countries and in veterinary medicine as a rapid test. this test is well suited if the patient has had no prior contact with brucellae, while this method is of lesser significance in endemic regions, where people are often infected or are chronically ill. the result of the rose bengal test must be confirmed by elisa. the …

n-o stained antigens to b. abortus 1119-3 interpretation positive result is achieved if the cells settle on the well bottom and form an even layer agglutination at a serum dilution of 1:200 indicates the presence of brucellosis agglutination >1:50 at a serum dilution of <1:200 is not evidence of brucellosis false positive: specificity 95% to 100% false negative: sensitivity 70% to 91.5% negative result is manifested by red-stained cells that are deposited on the well bottom and form pellets limitations this test is not suitable for detecting brucellosis caused by b. canis or the rough strain cross-reactivity with the serum from patients infected with other antigenically similar bacteria 17 wright test titer of ≥1:200 (the foreign literature references 1:160) indicates brucellosis if confirmed by the clinical picture and epidemiological history. however, in endemic countries, where antibodies are often found in the populace, the diagnostic titer must be ≥1:400 (the foreign …
