The lipopolysaccharide core of Brucella abortus acts as a shield against innate immunity recognition
(PLoS Pathogens, 2012-05-10)
Innate immunity recognizes bacterial molecules bearing pathogen-associated molecular patterns to launch inflammatory responses leading to the activation of adaptive immunity. However, the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the ...
Epidemiology of bovine brucellosis in Costa Rica: Lessons learned from failures in the control of the disease
(PLOS ONE, 2017-08-10)
Brucellosis, caused by Brucella abortus is a major disease of cattle and a zoonosis. In order
to estimate the bovine brucellosis prevalence in Costa Rica (CR), a total 765 herds (13078
bovines) from six regions of CR ...
Genetic and phenotypic characterization of the etiological agent of canine orchiepididymitis smooth Brucella sp. BCCN84.3
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019-06-07)
Members of the genus Brucella cluster in two phylogenetic groups: classical and
non-classical species. The former group is composed of Brucella species that cause
disease in mammals, including humans. A Brucella species, ...
A Sinorhizobium meliloti and Agrobacterium tumefaciens ExoR ortholog is not crucial for Brucella abortus virulence
(PLOS ONE, 2021-08-13)
Brucella is a facultative extracellular-intracellular pathogen that belongs to the Alphaproteo-
bacteria class. Precise sensing of environmental changes and a proper response mediated
by a gene expression regulatory ...
