Iron uptake systems of Brucella and anti-infectious immunity of the host / 中华地方病学杂志

Iron is involved in the virulence and pathogenic effects of certain intracellular parasites.In the pathogenic process of Brucella,the uptaking and metabolism of host iron are closely related to intracellular parasitism and immunity escape of Brucella.In this paper,we elucidated the iron transport system,iron response regulators and nutrient immunity of iron based on the latest report and data about Brucella.
