The outer membrane proteins based seroprevalence strategy for Brucella ovis natural infection in sheep [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionThe diagnosis of brucellosis largely relies on tiger red plate agglutination test (RBPT). However, it is difficult to distinguish between natural infection antibody positive and vaccination antibody positive, nevertheless, the identification ...

Mining the Flavoproteome of Brucella ovis, the Brucellosis Causing Agent in Ovis aries [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Flavoproteins are a diverse class of proteins that are mostly enzymes and contain as cofactors flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and/or flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), which enable them to participate in a wide range of physiological reactions.

Crystal structure of a short-chain dehydrogenase from Brucella ovis with apo and coenzyme NAD<sup>+</sup>-bound protomer chains. [PDF]
Acta Crystallogr F Struct Biol CommunThis article describes the structural characterization of a short‐chain dehydrogenase from the pathogenic bacterium Brucella ovis. In this manuscript, two structures are described: the structure of the apo protein and a structure containing the coenzyme NAD+.Short‐chain dehydrogenases (SDRs) are a family of NAD(P)‐dependent enzymes involved in redox ...

Genome Degradation in Brucella ovis Corresponds with Narrowing of Its Host Range and Tissue Tropism [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Brucella ovis is a veterinary pathogen associated with epididymitis in sheep. Despite its genetic similarity to the zoonotic pathogens B. abortus, B. melitensis and B. suis, B. ovis does not cause zoonotic disease.
