Bovine brucellosis is a global zoonotic disease. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) and outer membrane protein fractions (OMPs) were derived from Brucella abortus S19 , a widely used vaccine strain and it’s perosamine synthetase gene (per) mutant also called Brucella abortus S19Dper using differential density ultrcentrifugation followed by their characterization through sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and both showed immuno-reactivity with mice antisera in immunoblot. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of OMVs as spherical nano- sized structures.
