Antibiotic persistence of intracellular Brucella abortus
Background Human brucellosis caused by the facultative intracellular pathogen Brucella spp. is an endemic bacterial zoonosis manifesting as acute or chronic infections with high morbidity. Treatment typically involves a combination therapy of two antibiotics for several weeks to months, but despite this harsh treatment relapses occur at a rate of 5–15%

Mitochondrial fusion protein 2 affects intracellular survival of brucella abortus a19 by regulating endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis [PDF]
Mitochondrial fusion protein 2 (MFN2) deficiency has been shown to hinder the survival of bacteria in macrophages. Endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis are vital defense mechanisms against Brucella infection, but the specific role of MFN2 in ...

Structural Analysis and Inhibitor Modeling of Bacterioferritin From Brucella abortus
ABSTRACT Iron homeostasis in various pathogenic bacteria is regulated by bacterioferritins (Bfr) which function to store Fe3+ and release Fe2+ as needed for metabolic processes. The Bfr structure consists of 18 kDa subunits in which dimer pairs bind a heme molecule and are assembled into a highly symmetrical 24‐meric spherical structure with an ...

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.

Fatal spinal cord compression in a horse with chronic actinobacterial cranial nuchal bursitis
Summary A 14‐year‐old warmblood gelding was managed for waxing and waning cranial nuchal bursitis for 2 years. Intensive medical and surgical management was not curative, and the patient was subjected to euthanasia after becoming acutely recumbent. Ante‐mortem and post‐mortem next generation sequencing of bursal tissue and post‐mortem conventional PCR ...
