A novel, rapid, and simple PMA-qPCR method for detection and counting of viable Brucella organisms
The plate counting method widely used at present to discern viable from non-viable Brucella in the host or cell is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a rapid, simple method for detecting and counting viable Brucella ...

Cyclic β-glucans at the bacteria–host cells interphase: One sugar ring to rule them all [PDF]
Cyclic β‐1,2‐D‐glucans (CβG) are natural bionanopolymers present in the periplasmic space of many Proteobacteria. These molecules are sugar rings made of 17 to 25 D‐glucose units linked exclusively by β‐1,2‐glycosidic bonds.
