MOLECULAR DIAGNOSIS OF
BRUCELLOSIS: A BRIEF

REPORT

ABSTRACT
Amplification of nucleic acid by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
assays in order to diagnose infection by Brucella spp. has been used
for more than two decades. Human Brucellosis is an endemic disease
in many countries worldwide and often poses diagnostic puzzles. The
implementation of PCR (standard, real-time and multiplex) can help
in the accurate differential diagnosis and distinguish between acute,
subacute and chronic cases. PCR has also been used for follow up of
patients and serotype identification of Brucella spp. Overall PCR is a
promising and reliable technique for the diagnosis of Human Brucellosis.
Purpose of this brief report is to identify possible alternatives for rapid
and accurate diagnosis of Brucellosis using PCR.

INTRODUCTION
Brucellosis is a commonzoonoses of global distribution [1]. New incident
cases are estimated around 500.000 each year worldwide, whereas
prevalence is approximately 10/100.000 people in endemic areas. The
disease is caused by Brucella spp. and most usual isolated serotypes are
Melitensis, Abortus and Suis. Brucellae are Gram negative intracellular
bacteria that can multiply within phagocytic cells with human beings
acting as end hosts. Pathogens enter the human body through ingestion,
inhalation, the conjunctiva or skin abrasions. The pathogens reside in
the reticuloendothelial system, granulomas are formed and finally
bacteraimia may follow. The mechanisms leading to intracellular killing
of the host immune system are unknown [2]. Brucellosis can present
as acute, subacute or chronic disease with symptoms according to the
various affected organs [3]. Common symptoms include arthralgias, fever,
sweating, lack of appetite, weight loss and low back pain. On clinical
presentation patients often present with splenomegaly, hepatomegaly
or both, cervical lymphadenopathy and peripheral arthritis [2,3].
Neurobrucellosis and endocarditis are the two potentially life threatening
localizations of brucellosis, but osteoarticular, genitourinary and
gastrointestinal involvement are far more common. Laboratory diagnosis
is usually made either by isolation and culture of the microorganism or
by serology tests [4]. Rarely, some patients with brucellosis will have a
positive blood culture in the absence of positive serology. The automated
continuously monitored blood culture systems have shortened the time to
diagnosis to a maximum of 2 weeks (mean days to results 4-5). Serology
methods include the well-studied and established Rose Bengal and Wight
Coombs agglutination tests; both have limitations due to low predictive
values [4-6]. Newer tests such as Brucellacapt and detection of IgG
and IgM antibodies by ELISAare not available worldwide due to lack
of resources [6]. However, diagnostic puzzles are always present and
difficulties have been noted: Cultures require level 3 biocontainment
facilities and highly skilled technical personnel to handle samples and
live bacteria for eventual identification and biotyping. Serology cannot

be used for diagnosis alone in endemic areas and a verification test is
often required, either cultures or repeating the tests a few days later [27]. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods have been implemented in
order to enhance sensitivity and produce quicker results [8]. Nucleic acid
amplification techniques are now quite widely used, although no single
standardized procedure has been adopted. More than 400 reports have
been published describing various PCR based methods for the diagnosis
of Brucella infections [7]. We provide here a brief review of the proposed
methods and an appraisal of their usage in clinical settings for diagnosing
Brucellosis.

MOLECULAR METHODS
Standard PCR
The first reports for implementation of PCR for diagnosis of Brucellosis
date from the early 90’s. [9-11]. Blood is the preferred tissue for the
extraction of DNA, [12] however various others tissues such as serum,
semen, or synovial fluid have been used [13]. New approaches include the
washing of blood a few times with water in order to avoid contamination
with hemoglobin. Such techniques improve the sensitivity of the
procedure. [14]. The standard PCR assays include one pair of primers
which is used to amplify the target genomic sequence of Brucella
spp. Pairs used include the primers for sequences encoding 16S rRNA
[15,16], outer membrane protein (omp2a, omp2b and omp31) [17,18],
31kDa immunogenic Brucellaabortus protein (BCSP 31 B4/B5) [19-21],
16S-23S ribosomal DNA interspace region (ITS66/ITS279) [22,23] and
insertion sequence (IS711) [24,25]. These reports showed an excellent
sensitivity for the diagnosis not only of the acute disease but also for the
follow up pf patients and the detection of relapses where serology and
cultures are often negative [26-28].
Real time PCR
Real time PCR for brucellosis has also been used. The ability to measure
DNA copy number and mRNA expression levels together with the
rapid detection and differentiation of Brucella spp. and the decreasing
prices have made the procedure attractive and accessible [29] Real-

106
Advances in Molecular Diagnostics
time PCR seems to be highly reproducible, rapid, sensitive and specific.
Additionally, this assay is easily standardized and the risk of infection
in laboratory workers is minimal [8] Samples that have been tested by
real time PCR include cultured Brucella cells [30], serum [31], bloodand
paraffin-embedded tissues [32]. Some researchers even propose the use
of real-time PCR for the diagnosis of human brucellosis in everyday
clinical practice since various reports give a time to final results of only
30 minutes [30]. It is also suggested that it is the method of choice for the
discrimination among inactive, seropositive and active states in testing
serum samples for subjects whose clinical findings are known [32].The
predominance of real-time PCR in terms of sensitivity and specificity is
well documented in various studies. Queipo-Ortuno et al.[31] performed
real-time PCR with SYBR LightCycler Green I in blood cultures of serum
samples and whole blood of patients with brucellosis using primers B4
and B5 (targeting bspc31) and compared their results with PCR-enzymelinked immunosorbent assay [32]. Real-time PCR in serum samples had
better sensitivity. Surucuoglu et al. [33] used theTaqMan real time PCR
technique which targeted the IS711, bcsp31 and per genes in patients
with various clinical forms of brucellosis and compared the results of
their method with other conventional methods using serum samples.
The IS711-based assay was the most sensitive, specific, efficient,
and reproducible method to detect Brucella spp. Further reports have
documented the specificity, sensitivity and rapid results of real-time PCR
[34,35].
Multiplex PCR
The multiplex PCRs that have been developed the previous years have
included also Brucella spp. with the first report dating from 1994
[36]. Many reports can be found in the literature; the most interesting
studies used multiplex PCR to simultaneous detect Brucellaspp. and
Mycobacterium Tuberculosis complex [37-39]. The procedure targeted
the IS711, bcsp31 and omp2agenes for Brucella spp. and the IS6110,
senX3-regX3 and cfp31 genes for M. tuberculosis complex. Since
brucellosis is endemic in countries that are also endemic for tuberculosis
[40], a rapid diagnostic test, especially in chronic and atypical cases is of
great importance.
