Brucellosis vaccines: assessment of brucella melitensis lipopolysaccharide rough mutants defective in core and O-polysaccharide synthesis and export
Background: The brucellae are facultative intracellular bacteria that cause brucellosis, one of the major neglected zoonoses. In endemic areas, vaccination is the only effective way to control this disease. Brucella ... -
The lipopolysaccharide core of Brucella abortus acts as a shield against innate immunity recognition
Innate immunity recognizes bacterial molecules bearing pathogen-associated molecular patterns to launch inflammatory responses leading to the activation of adaptive immunity. However, the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the ... -
Mutants in the lipopolysaccharide of Brucella ovis are attenuated and protect against B. ovis infection in mice
Brucella spp. are Gram-negative bacteria that behave as facultative intracellular parasites of a variety of mammals. This genus includes smooth (S) and rough (R) species that carry S and R lipopolysaccharides (LPS), ...
