Abstract
Los miembros del género Brucella son bacterias patogénicas que causan pérdidas económicas
significativas, con una creciente preocupación por los mamíferos marinos debido a su potencial
impacto zoonótico en la conservación. En esta investigación, evaluamos el grado de patogenicidad
de Brucella sp. ST27, aislada de la Kogia sima, en modelos de laboratorio, en comparación con
las cepas de referencia Brucella abortus, Brucella ceti y Brucella pinnipedalis. La resistencia a la
polimixina B y al complemento de Brucella sp. ST27 fue similar a la de B. abortus, B. ceti y B.
pinnipedalis. En el bazo de ratones, Brucella sp. ST27 se replicó en mayor medida que B. ceti,
similar a B. pinnipedalis, y en menor número que B. abortus. Asimismo, la respuesta inflamatoria
inducida en el bazo por Brucella sp. ST27 no difirió significativamente de la inducida por B. ceti
y B. pinnipedalis, pero fue considerablemente menor que la producida por B. abortus 2308W. Los
perfiles hematológicos y las lesiones en el bazo de ratones causadas por Brucella sp. ST27 fueron
menos severos que las de B. abortus 2308W. La replicación intracelular de Brucella sp. ST27 en
células HeLa fue significativamente menor que la de B. ceti y B. abortus 2308W, pero similar a la
de B. pinnipedalis. En general, Brucella sp. ST27 muestra rasgos patogénicos similares a otras
cepas que infectan mamíferos marinos, pero es más atenuada en modelos de laboratorio que B.
abortus 2308W.
Members of the genus Brucella are bacterial pathogens causing significant economic losses and human suffering, with increasing concern over marine mammals due to its potential impact on conservation zoonotic risk. We evaluated the pathogenic potential of Brucella sp. ST27 from the dwarf whale Kogia sima compared to Brucella abortus, Brucella ceti and Brucella pinnipedalis in laboratory models. The resistance to polymyxin B and serum complement of Brucella sp. ST27 was similar to B. abortus, B. ceti and B. pinnipedalis. In the spleen of mice, Brucella sp. ST27 replicated to a greater extent than B. ceti, to a similar level than B. pinnipedalis, and at a lower number than B. abortus. Likewise, the inflammatory response induced in the spleen by Brucella sp. ST27 was not significantly different from that induced by B. ceti and B. pinnipedalis but considerably lower than that produced by B. abortus 2308W. The hematological profiles and spleen lesions caused Brucella sp. ST27 were less severe than B. abortus 2308W. The replication kinetics of Brucella sp. ST27 in HeLa cells was significantly lower than B.ceti and B. abortus 2308W but similar to B. pinnipedalis. In general, Brucella sp. ST27 displays similar virulent behavior to other strains infecting marine mammals but shows less virulent potential in laboratory models than pathogenic B. abortus infecting cattle.
