Brucellida

Brucellidae are parasitic bacteria that cause the disease brucellosis in animals and humans. They belong to the Brucellaceae family and are small coccobacilli that do not have flagella or capsules. Brucella are spherical in shape and can be yellow, red or brown depending on the species.

Brucellids can be found in various tissues and organs of animals and humans, including muscles, lymph nodes, liver, spleen, kidneys and other organs. They can also be transmitted through milk, meat and other animal products.

Brucellosis, caused by Brucella, can cause fever, pain in joints, muscles and other organs, and can lead to infertility and other complications. Treatment for brucellosis includes the use of antibiotics such as tetracycline and doxycycline.

There are currently several vaccines against brucellosis that can protect animals from the disease. However, human vaccination is not a widespread practice due to its low effectiveness and possible side effects.

It is important to note that Brucellidae are hazardous to the health of animals and people, so measures must be taken to prevent their spread and infection. This includes maintaining good hygiene when working with animals and animal products, as well as regular screening for brucellosis to identify sick animals and people.



Brucellosis is an infectious disease of animals and humans caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella. Brucellosis is characterized by a variety of manifestations: from general symptoms of a febrile state to local manifestations in the form of damage to the joints, skin, muscles, organs of the reproductive system and the central nervous system. Despite many scientific studies on the study of these pathogenic microbes, specialists from around the world have not yet been able to develop a reliable and effective method of diagnosis and treatment. This is confirmed by current clinical studies, according to which every year outbreaks of brucellosis are recorded among people with acute catarrhal and intestinal diseases, as well as children 1-3 years old. This article will discuss the most important points regarding brucellosis infection. Taking them into account will help improve the diagnosis and treatment of the brucellosis process and make a significant contribution to the fight against human infection with this pathology.



Brucellosis is caused by the bacteria Brucella spp. and are characterized by a chronic course. Brucella includes a large number of types of microorganisms with different properties. One group is Brucella of Bruges, the other is Mannheimia spp., which were initially considered representatives of the genus Pseudomonas. Other bacteria, similar to Brucella in a number of their properties, can be isolated from boreholes (microaerophiles, gram-positive, non-oxidase-negative, do not contain Cl-catalase, nonmotile, grow well on media with serum).

Among the currently known 7 species of the genus Brucella, B. melitensis (beef cattle) has the greatest pathogenic effect, B. ovis has the least (the species composition can be very wide: from cows, pigs and chickens to jackals, hares, deer and even humans). In humans, B. abortus is found (cattle and sheep) on all continents of the globe except Australia.
