Brucella neotomae infection in humans, Costa Rica
(Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017-06)
Several species of Brucella are known to be zoonotic, but B. neotomae infection has been thought to be limited to wood rats. In 2008 and 2011, however, B. neotomae was isolated from cerebrospinal fluid of 2 men with ...
Brucella abortus strain 2308 Wisconsin genome: Importance of the definition of reference strains
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016-09-29)
La brucelosis es una enfermedad infecciosa bacteriana que afecta a una amplia gama de mamíferos y una zoonosis desatendida causada por especies del género genéticamente homogéneo Brucella. Como en la mayoría de los estudios ...
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 ...
Brucella canis is an intracellular pathogen that induces a lower proinflammatory response than smooth zoonotic counterparts
(Infection and Immunity, 2015-09-29)
Canine brucellosis caused by Brucella canis is a disease of dogs and a zoonotic risk. B. canis harbors most of the virulence determinants defined for the genus, but its pathogenic strategy remains unclear since it has not ...
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 ...
Human Brucella melitensis infections in southern Vietnam
(European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2017-06-29)
Brucellosis is a collective term for infections caused by small Gram-negative coccobacilli belonging to genus Brucella. This genus incorporates the well-described animal pathogens Brucella melitensis, Brucella abortus, ...
Serological diagnosis of brucella infections in odontocetes
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009-04-15)
Brucella ceti causes disease in Odontoceti. The absence of control serum collections and the diversity of
cetaceans have hampered the standardization of serological tests for the diagnosis of cetacean brucellosis. Without ...
Intracellular adaptation of Brucella abortus
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2009-03)
Macrophages were infected with virulent B. abortus strain 2308 or attenuated strain 19. Intracellular bacteria were recovered at different times after infection and their proteomes compared. The virulent strain initially ...
Brucella abortus uses a stealthy strategy to avoid activation of the innate immune system during the onset of infection
(PLOS ONE, 2007-07-18)
Background. To unravel the strategy by which Brucella abortus establishes chronic infections, we explored its early interaction with innate immunity. Methodology/Principal Findings. Brucella did not induce proinflammatory ...
Applying One Health to understand brucellosis biology
(Microbiology Society UKCongreso de la Sociedad de Microbiología del Reino Unido, 2019-04-08)
Members of the Brucella genus, are facultative extracellular intracellular zoonotic bacteria that cause reproductive disease in animals. The different species show strong host preference in spite of sharing 96-98% similarity ...
