Differential requirements for VirB1 and VirB2 during Brucella abortus infection.
The Brucella abortus virB operon, encoding a type IV secretion system (T4SS), is required for intracellular replication and persistent infection in the mouse model. The products of the first two genes of the virB operon, virB1 and virB2, are predicted to be localized at the bacterial surface, where they could potentially interact with host cells. Studies to date have focused on characterization...
متن کاملA homologue of an operon required for DNA transfer in Agrobacterium is required in Brucella abortus for virulence and intracellular multiplication.
As part of a Brucella abortus 2308 genome project carried out in our laboratory, we identified, cloned, and sequenced a genomic DNA fragment containing a locus (virB) highly homologous to bacterial type IV secretion systems. The B. abortus virB locus is a collinear arrangement of 13 open reading frames (ORFs). Between virB1 and virB2 and downstream of ORF12, two degenerated, palindromic repeat ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Differential PCR Assay for Detection of Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis: an Analytical Approach for Monitoring of Brucella spp. in Foods of Animal Origin
Background: Classical bacteriological detection of Brucella species from food, and environment is routinely carried out based on morphological and biochemical characteristics. However, for increasing specificity and sensitivity of species identification methods, development of a molecular assay is necessary that was main aim of this study. Methods: Panel of some reference strains belonging to ...
متن کاملBrucella abortus infection acquired in microbiology laboratories.
We report an outbreak of laboratory-acquired Brucella abortus infection originating in the accidental breakage of a centrifuge tube. A total of 12 laboratory workers were infected (attack rate of 31%), with an incubation time ranging from 6 weeks to 5 months. Antibody titers were evaluated weekly in all personnel exposed, allowing the diagnosis of the infection in most cases before the onset of...
متن کاملCO2 requirements and nucleic acid synthesis by Brucella abortus.
C1402 is fixed in pyrimidines of nucleic acids by Brucella abortus, strain 6232, during growth on complex artificial media (Newton et al., 1954). The incorporation of C02 into pyrimidines appears to be more obligatory in this strain of B. abortus which requires an increased pCO2 than it is in Escherichia coli (Bolton et al., 1952); a finding which suggested that strains of B. abortus which requ...
