Characterization of structural and immunological properties of a fusion protein between flagellin from Salmonella and lumazine synthase from Brucella [PDF]
, 2017 Aiming to combine the flexibility of Brucella lumazine synthase (BLS) to adapt different protein domains in a decameric structure and the capacity of BLS and flagellin to enhance the immunogenicity of peptides that are linked to their structure, we ...

Phylogenetic analysis reveals an ancient gene duplication as the origin of the MdtABC efflux pump. [PDF]
, 2020 The efflux pumps from the Resistance-Nodulation-Division family, RND, are main contributors to intrinsic antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. Among this family, the MdtABC pump is unusual by having two inner membrane components.

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.

A novel, rapid, and simple PMA-qPCR method for detection and counting of viable Brucella organisms
Journal of Veterinary Research, 2020 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 ...
