To date, no effective vaccine has been developed against the causative agent of this disease, Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis . The objective of the present work was to evaluate an aroA mutant gene strain of C. pseudotuberculosis in cellular and murine models, for attenuation and the ability to stimulate an immune response.
