    Neutrophils Dampen Adaptive Immunity in Brucellosis

    Brucella organisms are intracellular stealth pathogens of animals and humans. The bacteria overcome the assault of innate immunity at early stages of an infection.

    Depletion of Complement Enhances the Clearance of Brucella abortus in Mice

    Brucellosis is a bacterial disease of animals and humans. Brucella abortus barely activates the innate immune system at the onset of infection, and this bacterium is resistant to the microbicidal action of complement.
