Genomic Diversity and Zoonotic Potential of Brucella neotomae

Emerg Infect Dis. 2024 Jan;30(1):155-158. doi: 10.3201/eid3001.221783.ABSTRACTAfter reports in 2017 of Brucella neotomae infections among humans in Costa Rica, we sequenced 12 strains isolated from rodents during 1955-1964 from Utah, USA. We observed an exact strain match between the human isolates and 1 Utah isolate. Independent confirmation is required to clarify B. neotomae zoonotic potential.PMID:38147057 | DOI:10.3201/eid3001.221783
