Abstract excerpt
Brucella is a facultative intracellular bacterium, dividing into smooth- and rough-type Brucella. Smooth-type Brucella can dissociate into rough mutants with cytotoxicity for macrophages during infection, which is critical for Brucella egress and dissemination. However, the mechanism of cytotoxicity infected by rough Brucella is incomplete. In this study, we verified that a rough-type Brucella (RB14 strain) was...
