    • N-formyl-perosamine surface homopolysaccharides hinder the recognition of Brucella abortus by mouse neutrophils 

      Mora-Cartín, Ricardo; Chacón-Díaz, Carlos; Gutiérrez-Jiménez, Cristina; Gurdián-Murillo, Stephany; Lomonte, Bruno; Chaves-Olarte, Esteban; BARQUERO-CALVO, ELIAS; Moreno, Edgardo (Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2016-06)
      Brucella abortus is an intracellular pathogen of monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and placental trophoblasts. This bacterium causes a chronic disease in bovines and in humans. In these hosts, the bacterium also ...

    • Neutrophils as Trojan Horse vehicles for Brucella abortus macrophage infection 

      Gutiérrez-Jiménez, Cristina; Mora-Cartín, Ricardo; Altamirano-Silva, Pamela; Chacón-Díaz, Carlos; Chaves-Olarte, Esteban; Moreno, Edgardo; BARQUERO-CALVO, ELIAS (Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2019-05-07)
      Brucella abortus is a stealthy intracellular bacterial pathogen of animals and humans. This bacterium promotes the premature cell death of neutrophils (PMN) and resists the killing action of these leukocytes. B. abortus-infected ...

    • Neutrophils dampen adaptive immunity in Brucellosis 

      Mora-Cartín, Ricardo; Gutiérrez-Jiménez, Cristina; Alfaro-Alarcón, Alejandro; Chaves-Olarte, Esteban; Chacón-Díaz, Carlos; BARQUERO-CALVO, ELIAS; Moreno, Edgardo (American Society For Microbiology, 2019-04-23)
      Brucella organisms are intracellular stealth pathogens of animals and humans. The bacteria overcome the assault of innate immunity at early stages of an infection. Removal of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) at the ...

    • Persistence of Brucella abortus in the bone marrow of infected mice 

      Gutiérrez-Jiménez, Cristina; HYSENAJ, LISIENA; Alfaro-Alarcón, Alejandro; Mora-Cartín, Ricardo; Gorvel, Jean-Pierre; Arce-Gorvel, Vilma; Moreno, Edgardo; BARQUERO-CALVO, ELIAS (Journal of Immunology Research, 2018-12-03)
      Brucellosis is a zoonotic bacterial infection that may persist for long periods causing relapses in antibiotic-treated patients. The ability of Brucella to develop chronic infections is linked to their capacity to invade ...
