Article Abstract
We report a case of spontaneous splenic rupture (SSR) caused by a Bacillus species (sp.) infection. A 36-year-old man on warfarin therapy since an aortic valve replacement at the age of 13 was admitted to our hospital with a 3-week history of a high fever. He had been asymptomatic until 4 months previously, when he suffered a cerebral embolism despite adequate oral anticoagulation. Abdominal computed tomography revealed splenic infarctions, which resulted in splenic rupture 2 days later. After embolization of the splenic artery, splenectomy was successfully performed. Pathologic examination revealed splenic infarction, resulting from septic emboli, with associated rupture of the splenic capsule, but no abscess was found. Bacillus sp. was isolated from cultures of arterial blood preoperatively, and the excised splenic specimens, postoperatively. In addition to rupture of the suppurating intrasplenic vessels with hematoma formation, the anticoagulant therapy possibly contributed to distension of the intrasplenic hematoma.

The insect midgut peritrophic membrane (PM) plays important roles in insect-microbe interactions. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and its proteinaceous toxins are widely used for insect control. To understand the role of PM in insects against Bt toxins, this study selected Grapholita molesta Busck (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), a worldwide pest infesting fruit trees, as the research subject.

This study investigated the protective effects of Bacillus subtilis fmbj (BS) in alleviating hepatic immune stress and redox imbalance induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in broilers. A total of 240 chickens were randomly assigned to three groups, each consisting of ten replicates with eight birds per replicate. Birds in the LPS and BSLPS groups received intraperitoneal injections of LPS (1 mg/kg body weight), whereas the CON group was administered an equivalent volume of 0.

Background: The Maltalep trial in Bangladesh assessed whether single-dose rifampicin (SDR) given 8-12 weeks after bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination was able to prevent excess leprosy cases due to BCG in contacts of newly diagnosed leprosy patients. After previous publication of the two years follow-up results of the trial, we now review the results after five years. Furthermore, to better understand the long-term protective effects of BCG against leprosy, we conduct post-hoc in-depth secondary statistical analyses based on the prospective interventional (randomized) Maltalep trial and a non-interventional (non-randomized) cohort study that was conducted simultaneously in the same project area.
