Article Synopsis
- * Out of 92 individuals studied, 34.7% were infected with the bacteria Coxiella burnetii, with PCR being the most sensitive diagnostic method; common symptoms included headache, chills, and fatigue.
- * The study highlights Q fever's underdiagnosis due to its varied symptoms and stresses the need for regular screening and awareness among healthcare professionals to ensure timely diagnosis and prevent chronic issues.

Background: Bioinspired nanomaterials have widely been employed as suitable alternatives for controlling biofilm and pathogens due to their distinctive physico-chemical properties.
Methodology: This study explored the antibiofilm as well as photocatalytic potential of silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized using the cell-free supernatant of Lactobacillus acidophilus for the disinfection of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) strains of enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), Salmonella Typhimurium, S.
Article Synopsis
- Coxiella burnetii is a germ that can make people sick and is a growing problem in many countries, including India, where it's often missed in diagnoses.
- In a study, scientists tested 731 samples from cows to see if they had this germ, using special tests called PCR and indirect-ELISA.
- They found that while none of the samples showed the germ in PCR tests, about 13.37% showed signs of infection in the indirect-ELISA test, suggesting that it's important to check both healthy and sick animals on farms to prevent the spread of the infection.
Coxiellosis in animals is caused by the zoonotic pathogen, Coxiella burnetii. Although the disease is of public health importance it remains underdiagnosed and underreported. The cross- sectional study was aimed to estimate the occurrence of the disease in livestock of study area and also to identify the risk factors associated with the disease in animals.

Due to anticipated gains associated with adulterating 'Haleem' and constant evasion from regulatory oversight, the susceptibility to adulteration has substantially increased. Furthermore, no reports/surveillance regarding their labelling compliance has been reported.
