Leptospirosis is a zoonosis caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira, a gram-negative spirochaete of translational motility. L. interrogans is the main cause of leptospirosis in humans, being characterized by varied virulence mechanisms such as tissue invasion, biofilm formation, adhesion to several types of cell lines, and secretion of enzymatic effectors which establish pathogenesis. …
The presence of refractile (R) bodies, potential toxin-delivery proteic structures able to stretch by biochemical influence, has been verified in some free living and endosymbiont bacteria, but the role and genomic context of reb genes responsible for its polymerization is not yet understood. RebB domain genes appear on genomes of proteobacteria, bacteroidetes and acidobacteria, generally…
