Porcine Brucellosis

Porcine brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by Brucella, a microorganism that infects animals. In humans, this type of brucellosis is quite rare and is characterized by a relatively mild course. Brucellosis comes in several types, differing in the source of the pathogen: one is transmissible, i.e. is transmitted from animal to person through food, while other species are zooanthroponotic, that is, transmitted from person to person or from person to animal.

What are Brucella bacteria? Bacteria of the genus Clostridia, cultivated in the form of round cells with projections slightly protruding beyond the cell. After aging, cells become sausage-shaped

Porcine brucellosis (PSB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Brucella suis. It is extremely rare in humans, but can have serious health consequences.

Brucellosis is a bacterial infection that can affect various organs and systems of the body. BST is a type of brucellosis that is caused by bacteria called Brucella. These bacteria live in animals such as pigs, goats and sheep.

In humans, BST is extremely rare and is usually mild. However, if left untreated or improperly treated, BST can lead to serious complications such as arthritis, meningitis, endocarditis and others.

To diagnose BST, serological tests are used to determine the presence of antibodies to Brucella in the blood. Treatment for BST usually includes antibiotics such as tetracycline or doxycycline.

It is important to note that BST is not transmitted from person to person, so its spread is limited to contact with infected animals. To avoid contamination with BST, it is necessary to observe good hygiene when working with animals and animal products.
