The fight against brucellosis is an important issue for global health and veterinary medicine. Brucellosis pathogens can affect not only dozens of animal species, but also humans [9, 16].

To combat brucellosis, it is important to study the immune status of animals [8, 13].

Currently, molecular genetic approaches are widely used in the world to study animal resistance to hereditary and infectious diseases. DNA markers of genetic resistance to common infectious diseases…

Synthetic biology represents a profound transformation in the life sciences, shifting from reactive genetic manipulation to proactive, design-driven construction of biological systems. Using Bacillus subtilis genomics as a historical anchor, we trace the conceptual trajectory from genetic engineering through molecular biology to synthetic biology (SynBio), framing each transition through Thomas Kuhn’s theory of paradigm shifts. We argue that SynBio constitutes a genuine revolutionary…

Classical microbiology has long relied on discrete categories to define bacterial species, pathogenicity, and antimicrobial resistance. However, comparative genomics of neglected species reveals the limitations of these rigid frameworks. Using Corynebacterium glucuronolyticum as a paradigm, we argue that these concepts are better understood as functional constructs that depend on genomic, ecological, and clinical contexts rather than fixed biological entities. This perspective challenges…
