Structural Insights into the HWE Histidine Kinase Family: The Brucella Blue Light-Activated Histidine Kinase Domain [PDF]
, 2016 In response to light, as part of a two-component system, the Brucella blue light-activated histidine kinase (LOV-HK) increases its autophosphorylation, modulating the virulence of this microorganism.

Real-time detection of Brucella abortus, Brucella melitensis and Brucella suis
Molecular and Cellular Probes, 2001 Real-time PCR-based assays specific for Brucella abortus, Brucella melitensis and Brucella suis were developed. The assays utilize an upstream primer that is derived from 3' end of the genetic element IS 711, whereas the downstream primers and probes are designed from signature sequences specific to a species or a biovar.

The aggregation of Brucella abortus occurs under microaerobic conditions and promotes desiccation tolerance and biofilm formation [PDF]
, 2012 Brucella abortus causes brucellosis mainly in cattle. The infection is transmitted to humans by ingestion of animal products or direct contact with infected material.

Brucella peritonitis and leucocytoclastic vasculitis due to Brucella melitensis [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2007 Brucellosis is a multisystemic disease that rarely leads to a fatal outcome. While reticuloendothelial system organs are mostly affected, peritonitis and posthepatitic cirrhosis are also complications of brucellosis, though they are very rare. Brucella spp. can also trigger immunological reactions.

IL-1R and inflammasomes mediate early pulmonary protective mechanisms in respiratory brucella abortus infection [PDF]
, 2016 Brucella spp. infection is frequently acquired through contaminated aerosols. The role of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in the early pulmonary response to respiratory Brucella infection is unknown.

Brucella evolution and taxonomy [PDF]
Veterinary Microbiology, 2002 The genus Brucella contains alpha-Proteobacteria adapted to intracellular life within cells of a variety of mammals. Controversy has arisen concerning Brucella internal taxonomy, and it has been proposed that the DNA-DNA hybridization-based genomospecies concept be applied to the genus.
