    • A Sinorhizobium meliloti and Agrobacterium tumefaciens ExoR ortholog is not crucial for Brucella abortus virulence 

      Castillo Zeledon, Amanda; Ruiz-Villalobos, Nazareth; Altamirano-Silva, Pamela; Chacón-Díaz, Carlos; BARQUERO-CALVO, ELIAS; Chaves-Olarte, Esteban; Guzman-Verri, Caterina (PLOS ONE, 2021-08-13)
      Brucella is a facultative extracellular-intracellular pathogen that belongs to the Alphaproteo- bacteria class. Precise sensing of environmental changes and a proper response mediated by a gene expression regulatory ...
    • Epidemiology of bovine brucellosis in Costa Rica: Lessons learned from failures in the control of the disease 

      Hernández-Mora, Gabriela; Ruiz-Villalobos, Nazareth; Bonilla-Montoya, Roberto; Romero-Zúñiga, Juan José; Jiménez-Arias, Julio; González-Barrientos, Rocio; BARQUERO-CALVO, ELIAS; Chacón-Díaz, Carlos; Rojas, Norman; Chaves-Olarte, Esteban; Guzman-Verri, Caterina; Moreno, Edgardo (PLOS ONE, 2017-08-10)
      Brucellosis, caused by Brucella abortus is a major disease of cattle and a zoonosis. In order to estimate the bovine brucellosis prevalence in Costa Rica (CR), a total 765 herds (13078 bovines) from six regions of CR ...
    • Genetic and phenotypic characterization of the etiological agent of canine orchiepididymitis smooth Brucella sp. BCCN84.3 

      Guzman-Verri, Caterina; Suárez-Esquivel, Marcela; Ruíz-Villalobos, Nazareth; Zygmunt, Michel S.; Gonnet, Mathieu; Campos, Elena; Víquez-Ruiz, Eunice; Chacón-Díaz, Carlos; Aragón-Aranda, Beatriz; Conde-Álvarez, Raquel; Moriyon, Ignacio; Blasco, Jose-María; Muñoz, Pilar M.; Baker, Kate; Thomson, Nicholas; Cloeckaert, Axel; Moreno, Edgardo (Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019-06-07)
      Members of the genus Brucella cluster in two phylogenetic groups: classical and non-classical species. The former group is composed of Brucella species that cause disease in mammals, including humans. A Brucella species, ...
    • The lipopolysaccharide core of Brucella abortus acts as a shield against innate immunity recognition 

      Moreno, Edgardo; BARQUERO-CALVO, ELIAS; Conde-Álvarez, Raquel; Arce-Gorvel, Vilma; Iriarte, Maite; Manček Keber, Mateja; Palacios-Chaves, Leyre; Chacón-Díaz, Carlos; Chaves-Olarte, Esteban; Martirosyan, Anna; von Bargen, Kristine; Grilló, María-Jesús; Jerala, Roman; Brandenburg, Klaus ; Llobet, Enrique; Bengoechea, José A.; Moriyon, Ignacio; Gorvel, Jean-Pierre (PLoS Pathogens, 2012-05-10)
      Innate immunity recognizes bacterial molecules bearing pathogen-associated molecular patterns to launch inflammatory responses leading to the activation of adaptive immunity. However, the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the ...
