Antibiotic Susceptibility of Smooth Brucella Abortus S99 and Rough Brucella Melitensis B115 Strains

摘要

Brucellosis is an economically devastating and highly infectious zoonosis. The disease has attained a re-emerging and a wide range of domestic and wild animals are being involved. In humans, the disease ranges from a febrile illness to a more complicated form. The disease has been reported globally with endemic pockets worldwide. Brucella organisms occur in smooth and rough forms. Virulency of smooth forms is more than the rough forms. The clinical isolates of Brucella are generally susceptible to the antibiotics but with the increase in drug resistance, the antibiotic susceptibility of the organisms is to be ensured for effective therapeutic results and to prevent relapse of the disease.
