Abstract excerpt
Brucella melitensis is a facultative intracellular bacterium that replicates within macrophages. The ability of Brucella to survive and multiply in the hostile environment of host macrophages is essential for its virulence. The cold shock protein CspA plays an important role in the virulence of B. melitensis. To analyze the genes regulated by CspA, the whole transcriptomes of B. melitensis NIΔcspA and its...
