What Is Brucellosis?

1. Brucella
Brucellosis is an infection that is caused by the Brucella bacterium. There are different strains of the bacterium and each strain is able to infect different species of animal, including humans. It is not a common disease in the developed world, largely because the disease has been controlled through various programs.
While the disease is usually treatable, it can also be very dangerous in some cases so it is wise to get treatment as soon as possible. However, the early signs are likely to be overlooked because at first it will appear as though the patient has the flu, or similar.
