The differential interaction of brucella and ochrobactrum with innate immunity reveals traits related to the evolution of stealthy pathogens
(PLOS ONE, 2009-06-16)
Background: During evolution, innate immunity has been tuned to recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns. However, some a-Proteobacteria are stealthy intracellular pathogens not readily detected by this system. ...
Brucella abortus ornithine lipids are dispensable outer membrane components devoid of a marked pathogen-associated molecular pattern
(PLoS One, 2011-01-07)
The brucellae are a-Proteobacteria facultative intracellular parasites that cause an important zoonosis. These bacteria escape early detection by innate immunity, an ability associated to the absence of marked pathogen-associated ...
