A two-component regulatory system playing a critical role in plant pathogens and endosymbionts is present in Brucella abortus and controls cell invasion and virulence
(Blackwell Science, 1998-04-08)
Two mutants showing increased sensitivity to polycations and surfactants were obtained by transposon mutagenesis of virulent Brucella abortus 2308 Nal(r). These mutants showed no obvious in vitro growth defects and produced ...
Bactericidal activity of Lys49 and Asp49 myotoxic phospholipases A2 from Bothrops asper snake venom Synthetic Lys49 myotoxin II-(115−129)-peptide identifies its bactericidal region
(FEBS, 1998)
Mammalian group-II phospholipases A2 (PLA2) of inflammatory fluids display bactericidal properties, which are dependent on their enzymatic activity. This study shows that myotoxins II (Lys49) and III (Asp49), two group-II ...
Brucella-Salmonella lipopolysaccharide chimeras are less permeable to hydrophobic probes and more sensitive to cationic peptides and EDTA than are their native Brucella sp. counterparts
(American Society for Microbiology, 1996-08-12)
A rough (R) Brucella abortus 45/20 mutant was more sensitive to the bactericidal activity of polymyxin B and lactoferricin B than was its smooth (S) counterpart but considerably more resistant than Salmonella montevideo. ...
