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 …

Brucella abortus live vaccines have been used successfully to control bovine brucellosis
worldwide for decades. However, due to some limitations of these live vaccines, efforts are …

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

Most bacterial infections induce the activation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs),
enhance their microbicidal function, and promote the survival of these leukocytes for …

Methods In this retrospective study, we reviewed hospital-records of 60 children with a
confirmed diagnosis of brucellosis in Kayseri between January 2013 and January 2016, and …

Brucella spp. are facultatively intracellular bacteria that can infect, survive, and multiply in
various host cell types in vivo and/or in vitro. The genus Brucella has markedly expanded in …

Brucellosis is considered one of the major zoonoses worldwide, constituting a critical
livestock and human health concern with a huge socio-economic burden. Brucella genus, its …

Osteoarticular complications are common in human brucellosis, but the pathogenic
mechanisms involved are largely unknown. In this manuscript, we described an immune …

Although vascular pathologies such as vasculitis, endocarditis and mycotic aneurysms have
been described in brucellosis patients, the interaction of Brucella with the endothelium has …

Inflammation has long been implicated as a contributor to pathogenesis in neurobrucellosis.
Many of the associated neurocognitive symptoms of neurobrucellosis may be the result of …
