The arginine/ornithine binding protein ArgT plays an essential role in Brucella neotomae / Brucella melitensis to prevent intracellular killing and contribute to chronic persistence in the host

Abstract excerpt

Brucella species are facultative intracellular bacterial pathogens that cause the contagious zoonotic disease, brucellosis. Brucella spp. infect a wide range of animals, including livestock, wild animals, and marine mammals. Compared with other invasive bacterial pathogens, partial information is available on the virulence factors of Brucella that enable them to survive in the host. Here, we performed...
