Brucellosis, commonly known as Maltafever, is the most widespread bacterial zoonosis worldwide. Its causative agent, Brucella spp., is a facultative intracellular pathogen developed inside the host’s macrophages. | Histidinol dehydrogenase being exclusively necessary for the growth of the bacteria inside the macrophage of the host, and having no counterpart in mammalians, it constitutes a therapeutic target for the development of an anti-infectious treatment against intracellular pathogens for Brucellosis.

The absence of a vaccine for humans and the appearing resistance of Brucella spp. to anti-biotic chemotherapy points to the necessity to develop new therapeutic strategies to eradicate this reemerging pathogen. | The absence of a vaccine for humans and the appearing resistance of Brucella spp. to anti-biotic chemotherapy points to the necessity to develop new therapeutic strategies to eradicate this reemerging pathogen. The virulome analysis of Brucella suis shows that genes involved in the biosynthesis of amino acids are essential for the virulence of the bacteria. Inhibition of its enzymatic activity with specific inhibitors will prevent intramacrophagic multiplication of Brucella.<ref name="article2">http://pubs.rsc.org.prox.lib.ncsu.edu/en/content/articlepdf/2011/md/c1md00146a</ref> | ||
