A carbonic anhydrase pseudogene sensitizes selectBrucellalineages to low CO2tension

Abstract: Brucella are intracellular pathogens that cause a disease known as brucellosis. Though the genus is highly monomorphic at the genetic level, species have animal host preferences and some defining physiologic characteristics. Of note is the requirement for increased CO2 tension to cultivate particular species, which confounded early efforts to isolate B. abortus from diseased cattle. Differences in the capacity of Brucella species to assimilate CO2 are determined by mutations in the carbonic anhydrase gene, bca… Show more

“…Given the success of the approach outlined here, one can envision using similar approaches for studying B. abortus transmission in suitably controlled field settings. We have also recently constructed a Brucella ovis bar-seq mutant library (55), which may be similarly useful for assessing the population biology of this ovine pathogen during infection/transmission.…”

“…It grows well in the solid culture of defibrinated amniotic blood and grows poorly in an ordinary medium. 11 13 The genome of B. ovis is about 3.29 Mb, including two chromosomes and 3200 open reading frames. The main routes of transmission of B. ovis are digestive tract, skin, mucous membrane, and reproductive tract.…”
