Lydia M. Varesio, Aretha Fiebig, Sean Crosson
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.
