Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Brucella is a Gram-negative facultative intracellular bacterium that can cause fever, abortion, and other symptoms in humans and various mammals. btpB, a type IV secretion system (T4SS) effector of Brucella, plays a critical role in regulating Brucella infection and inhibiting the host's innate immune response. Methods: In this study, a btpB mutant strain of Brucella A19 (ΔbtpB) was constructed...
