Brucella melitensis, a bacteria that causes chronic fatigue, nausea and damage to major organs.
2.
In " Brucella melitensis " eight novel sRNA genes were identified using bioinformatic and experimental approach.
3.
Professor Debono spent much time studying the " brucella melitensis " strain of " brucellosis ".
4.
In 1886 he identified the organism that caused the fever as a bacterium " Micrococcus melitensis " ( later renamed " Brucella melitensis " to honour the discoverer ).
5.
_Other biological agents identified include histoplasma ( similar to tuberculosis ), brucella melitensis ( which causes damage to major internal organs ), and clostridium perfringens, a toxic bacteria which causes gangrene.
6.
Along with " Brucella melitensis ", it is responsible for causing ovine brucellosis, which is a notifiable disease . " B . ovis " can be transmitted by the stable fly.
7.
"Brucella " is the genus and Brucellaceae is the family of the bacteria which was named after him, in recognition of his discoveries . " Brucella melitensis " is the cause of undulant fever in man and of abortion in goats.
8.
BSR0441 sRNA was further investigated in this study and shown to play role in the intracellular survival . sRNA BM-sr0117 from " Brucella melitensis " was identified and shown to be bound to and cleaved by Bm-RNase III . AbcR and AbcR2 ( orthologs of B . abortus ".
