The surface of cells is coated with a dense layer of glycans, known as the cell glycocalyx.
The complex glycans in the glycocalyx are involved in various biological events, such as …

Bacteria of the genus Brucella are Gram-negative pathogens of several animal species that
cause a zoonotic disease in humans known as brucellosis or Malta fever. Within their hosts …

Rhizobial soil bacteria can form a symbiosis with legumes in which the bacteria fix
atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia that can be utilized by the host. The plant, in turn …

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 …

Glucan is a natural polysaccharide widely distributed in cereals and microorganisms that
has various biological activities, including immunomodulatory, anti-infective, anti …

Brucellosis is a livestock disease responsible for fetal loss due to abortions. Worldwide, this

Abstract Cyclic β-1, 2-glucan synthase (CGS) is a key enzyme in production of cyclic β-1, 2-
glucans (CβGs) which are involved in bacterial infection or symbiosis to host organisms …

The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) O-polysaccharide (O-PS) is the main virulence factor in
Brucella. After synthesis in the cytoplasmic membrane, O-PS is exported to the periplasm by …

Vaccination is the most important approach to counteract infectious diseases. Thus, the
development of new and improved vaccines for existing, emerging, and re-emerging …
