Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection caused primarily by the bacterial pathogens Brucella
melitensis and B. abortus. It is acquired by consumption of unpasteurized dairy products or …

Brucella is an intracellular bacterial pathogen that causes abortion and infertility in mammals
and leads to a debilitating febrile illness that can progress into a long lasting disease with …

Background To unravel the strategy by which Brucella abortus establishes chronic
infections, we explored its early interaction with innate immunity. Methodology/Principal …

This chapter provides in‐depth coverage of actinobacillosis including relevance, potential
public health significance, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical signs, lesions, diagnosis …

Brucellosis, caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella, is an important zoonotic infection that
causes reproductive disease in domestic animals and chronic debilitating disease in …

Macrophages are a diverse population of phagocytic cells that reside in tissues throughout
the body. At sites of infection, macrophages encounter and engulf invading microbes …

Brucella spp. are zoonotic, facultative intracellular pathogens, which cause animal and
human disease. Animal disease results in abortion of fetuses; in humans, it manifests flu-like …

Resistance to intracellular bacterial pathogens such as Brucella spp. relies on cell-mediated
immunity, which involves activation of the bactericidal mechanisms of antigen-presenting …

Eradication of persistent intracellular bacterial pathogens with antibiotic therapy is often slow
or incomplete. However, strategies to augment antibiotics are hampered by our poor …

Brucella can parasitize within human antigen-presenting cells modifying phagocytosis,
phagolysosome fusion, antigen presentation, cytokine secretion, and apoptosis. Subversion …
