Abstract: Brucella is a Gram-negative, facultative intracellular bacteria, which includes Brucella. abortus(cattle), B.melitensis(goats), B.suis (swine), B.canis(dogs) and Brucella infected by marine mammals,et al. B.abortus, B.melitensis, B.suis and B.canis, et al can invade into humans and animals through a variety of ways and cause Brucellosis that is a severe zoonotic desease. The innate immune system is the first line of defensing against the infection of pathogen for our organism, which plays a key role during the infection of Brucella. This paper overviews the role of innate immune response during the infection of Brucella.

Key words: Brucella, Brucellosis, innate immune, pattern-recognition receptor, pathogen-associated molecular pattern
