The CO2-dependence of Brucella ovis and Brucella abortus biovars is caused by defective carbonic anhydrases
5 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
Brucella bacteria cause brucellosis, a major zoonosis whose control requires efficient diagnosis and vaccines. Identification of classical Brucella spp. has traditionally relied on phenotypic characterization, including surface antigens and 5–10% CO 2 necessity for growth (CO 2 -dependence), a trait of Brucella ovis and most Brucella abortus biovars 1–4 strains. Although molecular tests are replacing phenotypic...
