Abstract

The article presents the study which shows that replicative Brucella-containing vacuole (rBCV) matures into a compartment with autophagic features. The study states that a compartment that is highly prevalent during late stages of life cycle. The compartment was defined by double membrane that is similar to autophagosomes. The study also mentions that the rBCV develops into a vacuole.
