Brucella species are equipped with a variety of well-organized immune evasion strategies to establish chronic infection, including the use of small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs). In this review, the involvement of sRNAs in regulation of virulence and intracellular survival of Brucella is discussed. Further it highlights the role of sRNAs in modulation of innate and adaptive immune response mechanism of Brucella, which will improve our understanding of brucellosis and development of effective therapeutic approaches to treat this infectious disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
