The cell envelope is a multilayered structure that insulates the interior of bacterial cells from
an often chaotic outside world. Common features define the envelope across the bacterial …

Histone-like nucleoid structuring (H-NS) and H-NS-like proteins serve as global gene
silencers and work with antagonistic transcriptional activators (counter-silencers) to properly …

Brucella abortus is a bacterial pathogen causing bovine brucellosis worldwide. This
facultative extracellular–intracellular pathogen can be transmitted to humans, leading to a …

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease with significant economic and healthcare costs. Despite the
eradication efforts, the disease persists. Vaccines prevent disease in animals while …

Sinorhizobium meliloti is a model alpha-proteobacterium for investigating microbe-host
interactions, in particular nitrogen-fixing rhizobium-legume symbioses. Successful infection …

Brucella abortus is a facultative extracellular-intracellular bacterial zoonotic pathogen
worldwide. It is also a major cause of abortion in bovines, generating economic losses. The …

Alphaproteobacteria include organisms living in close association with plants or animals.
This interaction relies partly on orthologous two-component regulatory systems (TCS), with …

Brucella abortus is a zoonotic pathogen whose virulence depends on its ability to survive
intracellularly at the endoplasmic reticulum derived compartment. The two-component …

Intracellular pathogens like Brucella face challenges during the intraphagocytic adaptation
phase, where the modulation of gene expression plays an essential role in taking advantage …

Brucella is a zoonotic intracellular bacterium that poses threats to human health and
economic security. Intracellular infection is a hallmark of the agent Brucella and a primary …
