Case of Spine Infection with Brucella melitensis

Introduction Brucellosis is a common zoonotic infection in most of the developing regions of the world, severely affecting livestock productivity and human health. It caused by a small, nonmotile gram-negative coccobacillus of the genus Brucella. Among reported human brucellosis cases, the pathogenic strain B. melitensis is the most frequently encountered.1,2…
