A total of 1500 serum samples were collected from cattle, buffaloes, and humans. The Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) detected Brucella antibodies in 56 (10.18%) and 44 (8%) of the cattle, respectively. In samples collected from buffaloes 9.38% and 6.92% were positive, whereas 14% and 11% of the samples from humans were found to be positive by RBPT and ELISA, respectively. Among village workers a higher prevalence of brucellosis was recorded in females than in males. Abattoir-associated personnel also had a higher incidence of brucellosis. Results of the present study revealed that RBPT and ELISA …

Aim: Brucellosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease that remains an important public health problem in rural Turkey. The aim of the present study was to identify Brucella species and biotypes, and to assess the antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates from blood samples. Materials and Methods: The study included 46 Brucella isolates from the Kırıkkale region of central Anatolia. The identification and biotyping of the isolates were based on conventional methods. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of tetracycline, rifampin, streptomycin, ciprofloxacin, and azithromycin were determined using the E test method. Results: All isolates were identified as B. melitensis (45 isolates, biotype-3) …
