Brucella are gram-negative intracellular bacteria that cause brucellosis, one of the most world-wide distributed zoonosis. The capacity of these bacteria to cause disease relies in their ability to invade and survive in the host cells. Adhesion to cells is the initial step in the virulence process of many pathogens and, therefore, is a central process to understand the bacterial pathogenic cycle
