Autophagy is involved in several physiological and pathological processes. One of the key roles of the autophagic pathway is to participate in the first line of defense against the invasion of pathogens, as part of the ...

Some intracellular bacteria are known to cause long‐term infections that last decades without compromising the viability of the host. Although of critical importance, the adaptations that intracellular bacteria undergo ...

Macrophages were infected with virulent B. abortus strain 2308 or attenuated strain 19. Intracellular bacteria were recovered at different times after infection and their proteomes compared. The virulent strain initially ...

Brucella abortus is a facultative extracellular-intracellular pathogen that encounters a diversity of environments within the host cell. We report that bacteria extracted from infected cells at late stages (48 h post-infection) ...

Sixteen strains belonging to three families of the Rhizobiales order (Bradyrhizobiaceae, Phyllobacteriaceae and Rhizobiaceae) were evaluated according their specific growth rates (μ) and the activity of intracellular ...

Here we describe a protocol which we have used to study the homeostasis intracellular in vivo in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) using a fluorescent probe. This type of probes can be used for determining changes in the pH of ...

Staphylococcus aureus is a pathogen that causes severe infectious diseases that eventually lead to septic and toxic shock. S. aureus infection is characterized by the production of virulence factors, including enzymes and ...

The pathogenesis of brucellosis depends on the ability of bacteria from the genus Brucella to invade and replicate within animal cells. To understand the molecular pathways used by Brucella spp. to reach its intracellular ...
