Abstract:
The results of 77 blood cultures for Brucella in a period of 22 months in Domodossola Hospital (North Italy) are reviewed. Positive results were obtained in 54,80% of cases within the sixth day of incubation.

It is concluded for the usefulness of blood culture in every suspicious case of Brucella infection.

01:30Bacterial Signaling
Bacterial signaling can occur within bacteria (intracellular) or between bacteria (intercellular). At times, a group of bacteria behaves like a community. To achieve this, they engage in quorum sensing, the perception of higher cell density that causes changes in gene expression. Quorum sensing involves both extracellular and intracellular signaling. The signaling cascade starts with a molecule called an autoinducer (AI). Individual bacteria produce AIs that move out of the bacterial cell...
