Virulence Criteria for Brucella abortus Strains as Determined by Interferon Regulatory Factor 1-Deficient Mice

Interferon regulatory factor 1-deficient (IRF-1(−/−)) mice infected with virulent Brucella abortus 2308 at 5 × 10(5) CFU developed acute hepatitis similar to many natural hosts but, unlike natural hosts, IRF-1(−/−) mice were unable to resolve infection and died. In contrast, IRF-1(−/−) mice survived...
