Marine Mammal Brucella Reference Strains Are Attenuated in a BALB/c Mouse Model. [PDF]
Brucellosis is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution with numerous animal host species. Since the novel isolation of Brucella spp. from marine mammals in 1994 the bacteria have been isolated from various marine mammal hosts.

Neurobrucellosis due to Brucella ceti ST26 in Three Sowerby's Beaked Whales (Mesoplodon bidens)
Fatal meningoencephalitis due to Brucella ceti infection has been described in striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba), Atlantic white-sided dolphins (Lagenorhynchus acutus), short-beaked common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) and long-finned pilot whales (Globicephala melas), which are all within the family Delphinidae. We report B.

A review of
Brucella spp. were isolated from marine mammals for the first time in 1994. Two novel species were later included in the genus; Brucella ceti and Brucella pinnipedialis, with cetaceans and seals as their preferred hosts, respectively. Brucella spp.

Brucella ceti Associated Pathology in the Testicle of a Harbour Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena)
Brucellosis is reported increasingly in marine mammals and the marine species of Brucella are capable of causing community acquired zoonotic infections in humans as well as abortion in cattle as a result of experimental infection. This case report describes pathology associated with an isolate of Brucella ceti that was successfully cultured from, and ...

<i>Brucella</i>'s Emerging Threat: A Global Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Revealing Temporal, Geographic and Species-Specific Patterns of Antimicrobial Resistance. [PDF]
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) can lead to treatment failure in human bacterial infections, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Brucellosis is a globally significant zoonotic infection caused by Brucella spp. bacteria, yet the frequency and extent of AMR in Brucella populations from humans are poorly characterised.
