Description:Gram-negative, nonmontile bacterium. It is a facultative intracellular bacterial pathogen that causes abortion in goats and sheep and Malta fever in humans. Brucellosis is a major problem in the Mediterranean region and parts of Asia, Africa and Latin America. The disease is transmitted to human by consumption on nonpasteurized milk and milk products or by direct contact with infected animals and carcasses.
