Bacteria in the genus Brucella are important human and veterinary pathogens. The abortion
and infertility they cause in food animals produce economic hardships in areas where the …

Substance and energy metabolism are the basis for all life activities and are largely
regulated by cell-to-cell communication. Microbial cell-to-cell communication often occurs by …

Bacteria communicate with each other through a plethora of small, diffusible organic
molecules called autoinducers. This cell-density-dependent regulatory principle is termed …

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 …

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 …

Brucella strains produce abortion and infertility in their natural hosts and a zoonotic disease
in humans known as undulant fever. These bacteria do not produce classical virulence …

The intracellular pathogenic bacterium Brucella generates a replicative vacuole (rBCV)
derived from the endoplasmic reticulum via subversion of the host cell secretory pathway …

N-Acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) quorum-sensing (QS) signalling is the best-understood
chemical language in proteobacteria. In the last 15 years a large amount of research in …

Survival and replication inside host cells by Brucella spp. requires a type IV secretion system
(T4SS), encoded by the virB locus. However, the identity of the molecules secreted by the …

Brucella melitensis and Brucella ovis are the primary etiological agents of brucellosis in
small domestic ruminants. B. melitensis was first isolated in 1887 by David Bruce in Malta …
