Depletion of complement enhances the clearance of Brucella abortus in mice
(American Society for Microbiology, 2018-08-06)
Brucellosis is a bacterial disease of animals and humans. Brucella abortus barely activates the innate immune system at the onset of infection, and this bacterium is resistant to the microbicidal action of complement. Since ...
Persistence of Brucella abortus in the bone marrow of infected mice
(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 ...
Brucella abortus senses the intracellular environment through the BvrR/Bvrs two-component system, which allows B. abortus to adapt to its replicative nich
(American Society for Microbiology., 2018-01-16)
Brucella abortus is a facultative extracellular-intracellular pathogen belonging to a group of Alphaproteobacteria that establishes close interactions with animal cells. This bacterium enters host cells in a membrane-bound ...
