dc.description.abstract | Bacteria of the genus Brucella are facultative intracellular parasites that cause brucellosis, a severe animal and human disease. Recently, a group of taxonomists merged the brucellae with the primarily free-living, phylogenetically related Ochrobactrum spp. in the genus Brucella. This change, founded only on global genomic analysis and the fortuitous isolation of some opportunistic Ochrobactrum spp. from medically compromised patients, has been automatically included in culture collections and databases. We argue that clinical and environmental microbiologists should not accept this nomenclature, and we advise against its use because (i) it was presented without in-depth phylogenetic analyses and did not consider alternative taxonomic solutions; (ii) it was launched without the input of experts in brucellosis or Ochrobactrum; (iii) it applies a non-consensus genus concept that disregards taxonomically relevant differences in structure, physiology, population structure, core-pangenome assemblies, genome structure, genomic traits, clinical features, treatment, prevention, diagnosis, genus description rules, and, above all, pathogenicity; and (iv) placing these two bacterial groups in the same genus creates risks for veterinarians, medical doctors, clinical laboratories, health authorities, and legislators who deal with brucellosis, a disease that is particularly relevant in low- and middle-income countries. Based on all this information, we urge microbiologists, bacterial collections, genomic databases, journals, and public health boards to keep the Brucella and Ochrobactrum genera separate to avoid further bewilderment and harm. | es_ES |
dc.description.abstract | Las bacterias del género Brucella son parásitos intracelulares facultativos causantes de la brucelosis, una grave enfermedad animal y humana. Recientemente, un grupo de taxónomos fusionó las brucelas con las Ochrobactrum spp., principalmente de vida libre y filogenéticamente emparentadas, en el género Brucella. Este cambio, fundado únicamente en análisis genómicos globales y en el aislamiento fortuito de algunas Ochrobactrum spp. oportunistas de pacientes médicamente comprometidos, se ha incluido automáticamente en colecciones de cultivos y bases de datos. Sostenemos que los microbiólogos clínicos y ambientales no deberían aceptar esta nomenclatura, y desaconsejamos su uso porque (i) se presentó sin análisis filogenéticos en profundidad y no consideró soluciones taxonómicas alternativas; (ii) se lanzó sin la aportación de expertos en brucelosis u Ochrobactrum; (iii) aplica un concepto de género no consensuado que ignora las diferencias taxonómicamente relevantes en estructura, fisiología, estructura poblacional, ensamblajes del núcleo-pangenoma, estructura genómica, rasgos genómicos, características clínicas, tratamiento, prevención, diagnóstico, reglas de descripción del género y, sobre todo, patogenicidad; y (iv) colocar estos dos grupos bacterianos en el mismo género crea riesgos para veterinarios, médicos, laboratorios clínicos, autoridades sanitarias y legisladores que se ocupan de la brucelosis, una enfermedad especialmente relevante en países de renta baja y media. Basándonos en toda esta información, instamos a los microbiólogos, las colecciones bacterianas, las bases de datos genómicos, las revistas y los consejos de salud pública a mantener separados los géneros Brucella y Ochrobactrum para evitar más desconcierto y perjuicios. | es_ES |
