Brucella abortus induces the premature death of human neutrophils through the action of Its lipopolysaccharide
(PLoS Pathogens, 2015-05-06)
Most bacterial infections induce the activation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), enhance their microbicidal function, and promote the survival of these leukocytes for protracted periods of time. Brucella abortus ...
Neutrophils dampen adaptive immunity in Brucellosis
(American Society For Microbiology, 2019-04-23)
Brucella organisms are intracellular stealth pathogens of animals and humans. The bacteria overcome the assault of innate immunity at early stages of an infection. Removal of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) at the ...
Neutrophils as Trojan Horse vehicles for Brucella abortus macrophage infection
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2019-05-07)
Brucella abortus is a stealthy intracellular bacterial pathogen of animals and humans. This bacterium promotes the premature cell death of neutrophils (PMN) and resists the killing action of these leukocytes. B. abortus-infected ...
N-formyl-perosamine surface homopolysaccharides hinder the recognition of Brucella abortus by mouse neutrophils
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2016-06)
Brucella abortus is an intracellular pathogen of monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and placental trophoblasts. This bacterium causes a chronic disease in bovines and in humans. In these hosts, the bacterium also ...
