چکیده

Background: Brucella sps are Gram negative, facultative intracellular bacteria causing brucellosis in humans and animals. Since it is a multi-organ disease and symptoms are nonspecific the diagnosis by clinical finding is difficult and can be missed .Many serological tests have been used form the diagnosis of human brucellosis. This study compared the diagnostic value of in-house ELISA and IFA using lipopolysaccharide heat extracted antigen (LPS-HE) and Lipopolysaccharide sonicated extracted antigen (LPSSE) with STT. Methods: The present study was carried out to evaluate the two different antigenic preparations from smooth strains of Brucella abortus S99 for standardising ELISA and IFA as the alternative test for STT. Standard Tube test antigen and Standard anti brucella serum was obtained from IVRI, Izatnagar were used as controls for standardizing ELISA and IFA. 81 human sera (cases) were collected from people working in organized farms including veterinary staff, 32 animal sera from organized farms mentioned above, 100 human sera (controls) collected from KIMS, Bangalore Blood bank. 100 WIDAL positive samples from Department of Microbiology used to check for cross reactivity. All the serum samples (cases, controls and WIDAL positive samples) were tested with STT. Result: Out of 81 human sera 8 (9.87%) was found to be positive with SAT showing a titre of ≥ 1:80. Whereas by ELISA, 10 (12.34%) & 9 (11.11%) cases showed positive in LPS –SE and LPS –HE coated plates respectively. The sensitivity and specificity for IFA was 77 and 87.5. Conclusion: It was found that ELISA was considered to be better test over IFA and STT. It is cheap and reproducible and a specific assay for the diagnosis of Brucellosis.

Comparative efficacy of serological diagnostic methods and evaluation of polymerase chain reaction for diagnosis of bovine brucellosis

The aim of present study was to compare the diagnostic performance of the different Brucella abortus antigen based serological and molecular tests such as Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT), indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Out of 89 samples, 44 were positive by I-ELISA, 18 by RBPT and 21 by PCR. Substantial agreement was observed between PCR ...

Development and field validation of an avidin-biotin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit for bovine brucellosis.

The avidin-biotin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (A-B ELISA), for use in surveillance for bovine brucellosis in India was developed and calibrated using the indirect brucellosis ELISA kit of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as a reference. The reagents used in the A-B ELISA were as follows: the smooth lipopolysaccharide of Brucella abortus strain 99 (antigen); biotinylated anti-...

Recombinant VirB5 protein as a potential serological marker for the diagnosis of bovine brucellosis.

The molecular tag vaccine against Brucella abortus and serological testing are the main methods of prevention of brucellosis used currently. They can discriminate vaccinated animals and humans from those naturally infected. In this study, we constructed a gene deletion mutant strain, B. abortus S19 virB5 with a molecular tag. Recombinant VirB5 was expressed and purified for evaluation as a diag...
