CueO Possesses Copper Detoxification Activity Linking Bacterial Virulence and Drug Resistance in Brucella.
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Brucella spp. that poses a significant threat to human health. Copper resistance is a key determinant of the virulence of many intracellular pathogens, including those expressing the multicopper oxidase CueO. However, the role of CueO in Brucella remains poorly understood. In...
