There are several Brucella species that infect different animal reservoirs, but all share similar biology. Brucella has a cell wall structure containing lipopolysaccharide that facilitates evasion of phagocytosis. Brucella also utilizes a type IV secretion system to inject effector proteins into host cells that hijack their functions to promote bacterial survival and replication.
