Article Synopsis
- The study focused on characterizing the genotype and serogroup of an opportunistic intracellular pathogen found in various samples like milk, soil, and beef, which contributes to foodborne listeriosis in humans and animals.
- Using multiplex PCR and other molecular techniques, researchers confirmed the pathogen's presence and identified virulence markers, revealing that most isolates carried several resistance genes.
- The findings indicate a significant risk of environmental transmission of the pathogen due to its presence in animal production settings, underscoring potential implications for food safety.
Abortion is a major cause of economic loss to the goat industry. Coxiella burnetii the causative agent of Q fever is an important zoonotic agent known to be prevalent worldwide. In the present investigation, we detected the presence of Coxiella burnetii by the modified Ziehl Neelsen method of staining and its DNA by trans-PCR assay in the placenta obtained from the aborted goat.
