Since the reclassification of the genus Bartonella in 1993, the number of species has grown
from 1 to 45 currently designated members. Likewise, the association of different Bartonella …

Bacteria in the genus Brucella are important human and veterinary pathogens. The abortion
and infertility they cause in food animals produce economic hardships in areas where the …

Host-adapted bacteria include mutualists and pathogens of animals, plants and insects.
Their study is therefore important for biotechnology, biodiversity and human health. The …

Bartonella spp. are facultative intracellular pathogens that employ a unique stealth infection
strategy comprising immune evasion and modulation, intimate interaction with nucleated …

Brucella is an intracellular bacterial pathogen that causes abortion and infertility in mammals
and leads to a debilitating febrile illness that can progress into a long lasting disease with …

For many pathogenic bacteria surface attachment is a required first step during host
interactions. Attachment can proceed to invasion of host tissue or cells or to establishment of …

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a widespread, versatile protein secretion system in
pathogenic Proteobacteria. Several T6SSs are tightly regulated by various regulatory …

Bartonella spp. are facultative intracellular bacteria that typically cause a long-lasting
intraerythrocytic bacteremia in their mammalian reservoir hosts, thereby favoring …

Brucella abortus is a facultative intracellular pathogen causing a severe zoonotic disease
worldwide. The two-component regulatory system (TCS) BvrR/BvrS of B. abortus is …

The pathogenesis of Brucella is related to the ability to multiply intracellularly, an event
controlled by the two-component system BvrR/BvrS (TCS BvrRS) and the type IV secretion …
