Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Brucella spp. genes involved in intracellular trafficking.

TL;DR: The preponderance of virB mutants demonstrates the importance of this secretion apparatus in the intracellular multiplication of B. melitensis and examines the intrACEllular fate of three VirB mutants in HeLa cells by immunofluorescence.
Journal ArticleDOI

What have we learned from brucellosis in the mouse model

TL;DR: It is concluded that, when used properly, the mouse is a valuable brucellosis model and a useful virulence/attenuation index and is used in vaccine (Residual Virulence) quality control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Internal affairs: investigating the Brucella intracellular lifestyle.

TL;DR: Understanding how Brucella molecules interplay with their host cell targets to modulate cellular functions and establish the intracellular niche will help unravel how this pathogen causes disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

An evolutionary strategy for a stealthy intracellular Brucella pathogen

TL;DR: In this paper, the stealthy strategy used by Brucella to escape recognition of the innate immunity and the means by which this bacterium evades intracellular destruction are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bactericidal activity of Lys49 and Asp49 myotoxic phospholipases A2 from Bothrops asper snake venom--synthetic Lys49 myotoxin II-(115-129)-peptide identifies its bactericidal region

TL;DR: Bacterial LPS chimeras indicated that LPS is a relevant target for myotoxin II-(115-129)-peptide, which represents a group-II PLA2 with a direct bactericidal effect that is independent of an intrinsic enzymatic activity, but adscribed to the presence of a short cluster of basic/hydrophobic amino acids near its C-terminal loop.
