Q fever (see the image below) is a zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii, an obligate gram-negative intracellular bacterium. (medscape.com)

Several methods have been employed to identify Coxiella burnetii isolates based on the specific Coxiella burnetii QpH1 plasmid to distinguish the acute form from the chronic form of Q fever disease in humans and animals owing to the presence of unique gene sequences in this plasmid. (ijmm.ir)
A total of 86 isolates of Coxiella burnetii QpH1 plasmid, which were confirmed by the Nested-PCR method in 2018, were used to determine the RFLP panel of the QpH1 plasmid. (ijmm.ir)
The results of the nucleic acid sequencing of all 4 samples indicated that they had a Coxiella burnetii type (Nine Mile RSA493 strain). (ijmm.ir)
RFLP patterns exhibited no difference on the Coxiella burnetii QpH1 plasmid isolated from cow and buffalo milk. (ijmm.ir)
Hence, all isolates were genetically identical, and the infection in animals could originate from one Coxiella burnetii strain (Nine Mile RSA493 strain). (ijmm.ir)

Fever3
Eventually the cause of the fever was identified as a bacteria called Coxiella Burnetti and it has been documented in most countries around the world. (vetvoice.com.au)
Humans are exposed to Query Fever when animals release the Coxiella burnetti bacteria in urine, feces, wool, milk and pregnancy fluids (Dupont & Raoult, 2008). (mariref.com)
The identification of genotypes involved in Coxiella burnetti infections will also help to establish possible links with outbreaks of human Q fever and improve control by public health services. (neiker.eus)
Infection1
Likewise, this global vision of the infection status in the Balearic Islands will also allow a first approximation of the risk of Coxiella burnetti in milk and dairy products made from raw milk. (neiker.eus)

Campylobacter1
Some of the most prominent pathogens including S.aureus, E. coli, Salmonella , Coxiella burnetti, and Campylobacter are easily inactivated using proper thermal processing. (fooddocs.com)
