A lysozyme-like protein in Brucella abortus is involved in the early stages of intracellular replication [PDF]
Secretion of proteins in Gram-negative bacteria is a high-energy consuming process that requires the translocation across two membranes and a periplasmic space composed of a mesh like layer, the peptidoglycan.

Demonstration of IS711 transposition in Brucella ovis and Brucella pinnipedialis [PDF]
The Brucella genome contains an insertion sequence (IS) element called IS711 or IS6501, which is specific to the genus. The copy number of IS711 varies in the genome of the different Brucella species, ranging from 7 in B. abortus, B. melitensis and B. suis to more than 30 in B. ovis and in Brucella strains isolated from marine mammals.

Btp Proteins from Brucella abortus Modulate the Lung Innate Immune Response to Infection by the Respiratory Route [PDF]
Although inhalation of infected aerosols is a frequent route for Brucella infection in humans, it rarely causes pulmonary clinical manifestations, suggesting a mild or nearly absent local inflammatory response.

Real-time detection of Brucella abortus, Brucella melitensis and Brucella suis
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.

Biochemical and spectroscopic properties of Brucella microti glutamate decarboxylase, a key component of the glutamate-dependent acid resistance system [PDF]
In orally acquired bacteria, the ability to counteract extreme acid stress (pH < 2.5) ensures survival during transit through the animal host stomach. In several neutralophilic bacteria, the glutamate-dependent acid resistance system (GDAR) is the most ...

Systematic review of brucellosis in the Middle East: disease frequency in ruminants and humans and risk factors for human infection [PDF]
This paper considers the problem of finding global states incoming to a specified global state in a Boolean network, which may be useful for pre-processing of finding a sequence of control actions for a Boolean network and for identifying the basin of ...

IL-1R and inflammasomes mediate early pulmonary protective mechanisms in respiratory brucella abortus infection [PDF]
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.
