The synthesis of complex sugars is a key aspect of microbial biology. Cyclic β-1, 2-glucan
(CβG) is a circular polysaccharide critical for host interactions of many bacteria, including …

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that has serious animal welfare and economic
consequences worldwide. In mammals, this stealthy intracellular pathogen causes abortion …

The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) O-polysaccharide (O-PS) is the main virulence factor in
Brucella. After synthesis in the cytoplasmic membrane, O-PS is exported to the periplasm by …

Brucella abortus is a Gram-negative intracellular bacterial pathogen that causes a zoonosis
of worldwide occurrence, leading to undulant fever in humans and abortion in domestic …
