Overview

Serological and molecular analysis reveals high brucellosis rates in humans, highlighting antibiotic resistance implications.

Key Points

  • This research aims to identify Brucella species from human and animal samples and evaluate their antibiotic susceptibility.
  • Conducted serological, bacteriological, and molecular testing on samples from six governorates.
  • Isolated and identified 54 Brucella isolates from human and animal sources.
  • Evaluated antibiotic susceptibility profiles for each isolate using standard testing methods.
  • 86.8% of human sera tested positive for brucellosis compared to 4.7% of animal sera.
  • Brucella melitensis was identified as the predominant species among the isolates.
  • Isolates showed resistance to several antibiotics, including ceftriaxone and rifampicin, while remaining susceptible to others.
