Objective: Brucellosis is a serious zoonotic infection worldwide. To date, vaccination the most effective measure against brucellosis. This study was aimed at obtaining vaccine strain that has high protective efficacy and low toxicity, allows to be differentiated from infection. Methods: Using homologous recombination, we constructed double gene-deletion Brucella MB6 ?bp26?wboA (RM6) evaluated ...

The outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from smooth B. melitensis 16 M and a derived rough mutant, VTRM1 strain, were purified and characterized with respect to protein content and induction of immune responses in mice. Proteomic analysis showed 29 proteins present in OMVs from B. melitensis 16 M; some of them are well-known Brucella immunogens such as SOD, GroES, Omp31, Omp25, Omp19, bp26, and Omp1...

objective(s):brucellosis, especially caused by brucella melitensis, remains one of the most common zoonotic diseases worldwide with more than 500,000 human cases reported annually. the commonly used live attenuated vaccine in ovine brucellosis prophylaxis is b. melitensis rev1. but due to different problems caused by the administration of this vaccine, a protective subunit vaccine against b. me...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Brucellosis is an important health problem in developing countries and no vaccine is available for the prevention of infection in humans. Because of clinically infectious diseases and their economic consequences in human and animals, designing a proper vaccine against Brucella is desirable. In this study, we evaluated the immune responses induced by a designed recombin...

Control of brucellosis among farm animals, wildlife and humans require reliable diagnosis. Rose Bengal serological test (RBT) is based on lipopolysaccharide antigen of Brucella, which may cross react with other gram-negative bacteria and produce false positive result. Immunoreactive proteins, such as outer-membrane protein BP26, ribosome recycling factor protein CP24 and Brucella lumazine synth...
