Abstract:Brucella ovis is an ovine intracellular pathogen with tropism for the male genital tract. To establish and maintain infection, B. ovis must survive stressful conditions inside host cells, including low pH, nutrient limitation, and reactive oxygen species. These same conditions are often encountered in stationary phase cultures. Studies of stationary phase may thus inform understanding of Brucella infection biology, yet the genes that are important in Brucella stationary phase physiology remain poorly defined. … Show more
