Brucellae are Gram-negative, small rods infecting mammals and capable of causing disease
called brucellosis. The infection results in abortion and sterility in domestic animals (sheeps …

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 …

Bacteria of the genus Brucella are Gram-negative pathogens of several animal species that
cause a zoonotic disease in humans known as brucellosis or Malta fever. Within their hosts …

Brucella strains produce abortion and infertility in their natural hosts and a zoonotic disease
in humans known as undulant fever. These bacteria do not produce classical virulence …

Brucella spp. are intracellular gram-negative bacteria that include a number of virulent
species that cause chronic infections in a variety of mammalian hosts. Human infections are …

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a crucial enzyme required to maintain the redox potential of
the cells. It plays a vital role in protecting normal cells from reactive oxygen species (ROS) …

Many gram-negative bacteria harbor a copper/zinc-containing superoxide dismutase
(CuZnSOD) in their periplasms. In pathogenic bacteria, one role of this enzyme may be to …

The first species of Brucella was isolated and characterized almost 120 years ago and
recently the complete nucleotide sequences of the genomes of a number of well …

Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the Brucella species cause chronic infections that can
result in undulant fever, arthritis, and osteomyelitis in humans. Remarkably, Brucella sp …

ABSTRACT A Francisella tularensis live vaccine strain mutant (sodBFt) with reduced Fe-
superoxide dismutase gene expression was generated and found to exhibit decreased sodB …
