Brucella
Brucella is a genus of pathogenic bacteria responsible for brucellosis, a zoonotic disease that primarily affects animals (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, dogs) and can be transmitted to humans.
🔬 Key Characteristics:
- Gram-negative, facultative intracellular bacteria.
- Appear as small, non-motile coccobacilli.
- Capable of surviving inside macrophages, which makes infections chronic and hard to eliminate.
⚠️ Brucellosis in Humans:
- Transmission: consumption of unpasteurized dairy products, direct contact with infected animals, or inhalation in laboratory settings.
- Symptoms: undulating fever, night sweats, chronic fatigue, joint pain, and in severe cases, hepatic or neurological complications.
- Considered an occupational disease for veterinarians, farmers, and laboratory staff.
🧪 Diagnosis:
- Serological tests (ELISA, agglutination).
- PCR for genetic detection.
- Culture (rare due to risk; requires biosafety level 3 handling).
💊 Treatment:
- Long-term antibiotic therapy (typically doxycycline + rifampicin for several weeks).
- No human vaccine available, but animal vaccines exist.
