Heat shock cognate protein 70 contributes to Brucella invasion into trophoblast giant cells that cause infectious abortion.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Streptococcus suis is a major swine pathogen worldwide that causes meningitis, septicemia, arthritis, and endocarditis. Using animal models, a surface-associated subtilisin-like protease (SspA) has recently been shown to be an important virulence factor for S. suis. In this study, we hypothesized that the S....
