What Is Brucellosis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Wherever you go you there will be bacteria. This is not usually a problem because we have defenses against those that might do us harm. Our defenses are not impenetrable, however, meaning that we can occasionally fall ill. Even then, our defenses are usually still strong enough to keep us from serious harm.
Some of these bacteria will come from other animals, so we will need to be careful when around them. One such example is the Brucella bacteria which can be transmitted from many animals. It can make us quite ill, and the disease can last with us for a long time in some cases. The disease caused by this bacterium is known as Brucellosis.
