Brucellaare cocci with a diameter of about 0.6 micrometers or bacilli with a length of more than 1 micrometer. Brucella is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes a variety of mammalian infections. Although Brucella can be divided into 10 species based on diagnostic and epidemiological characteristics, genomic studies have shown that different Brucella are highly similar at the genomic level. The genus Brucella that infects animals mainly includes Brucella abortus, Brucella melitensis, Brucella suis and Brucella canis.

Brucellosis is a disease caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella that primarily infects cattle, pigs, goats, sheep and dogs. Brucellosis is one of the most widespread zoonotic diseases. In endemic areas, human infection with brucellosis has serious public health consequences. Expansion of animal husbandry, urbanization and lack of hygiene measures in food handling are some of the reasons for the brucellosis epidemic. In recent years, scientists have developed a variety of detection methods for the diagnosis of brucellosis. Plate agglutination test is widely used due to its simple operation and visualization of results.

Workflow | Details |
---|---|
Sample collection | Samples were collected from animals infected with Brucella. |
Production of seeds | Samples were inoculated on agar culture, and after a period of incubation at 37°C, a sample from every single colony was transferred to the broth and incubated at 37°C. |
Preparation of chromogenic antigens | Neotetrazoles and tetrazolium staining antigens were prepared for use, and the concentration of staining antigens was measured by the Folin Phenol method. |
Brucella PAT kit development | Development of Brucella plate agglutination test kit using staining antigen. |
