T1 - Human Neurobrucellosis with Intracerebral Granuloma Caused by a Marine Mammal Brucella spp. T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2003 VL - 9 IS - 4 SP - 485 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We present the first report of community-acquired human infections with marine mammal–associated Brucella spp. and describe the identification of these strains in two patients with neurobrucellosis and intracerebral granulomas. The identification of these isolates as marine mammal strains was based on omp2a sequence and amplification of the region flanking bp26.
