Wikipedia
Brucella
Brucella is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria, named after David Bruce (1855–1931). They are small (0.5 to 0.7 by 0.6 to 1.5 µm), nonencapsulated, nonmotile, facultatively intracellular coccobacilli. Brucella spp. are the cause of brucellosis, which is a zoonosis transmitted by ingesting contaminated food (such as unpasteurized milk products), direct contact with an infected animal, or inhalation of aerosols. Transmission from human to human, for example, through sexual intercourse, or from mother to child, is exceedingly rare, but possible. Minimum infectious exposure is between 10 and 100 organisms. The different species of Brucella are genetically very similar, although each has a slightly different host specificity. Hence, the National Center for Biotechnology Information taxonomy includes most Brucella species under B. melitensis.

brucella
Brucella is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria, named after David Bruce, the discoverer. They are small, nonencapsulated, nonmotile, facultatively intracellular coccobacilli which can infect many species of animals and humans. Brucella species are the cause of brucellosis, one of the most widespread zoonotic diseases. These bacteria are able to survive and proliferate inside various types of phagocytic and non-phagocytic cells leading to chronic infections that are difficult to eradicate.

Brucella is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria named after David Bruce. They are small, non-motile, non-encapsulated coccobacilli, which function as facultative intracellular parasites. Brucella is the cause of brucellosis, which is a zoonosis. It is transmitted by ingesting contaminated food, direct contact with an infected animal, or inhalation of aerosols. Transmission from human to human, for example through sexual intercourse or from mother to child, is exceedingly rare, but possible. Minimum infectious exposure is between 10 - 100 organisms.
