Isolation of Potentially Novel Brucella spp. from Frogs

Eisenberg, T.; Hamann, H.-P.; Kaim, U.; Schlez, K.; Seeger, H.; Schauerte, N.; Melzer, Falk ; Tomaso, Herbert ; Scholz, H.C.; Koylass, M.S.; Whatmore, A.M.; Zschöck, M.

Bacterial isolates from frogs were phenotypically identified as Ochrobactrum anthropi, but 16S rRNA-sequencing showed up to 100% identity with Brucella inopinata. Further analysis of recA, omp2a, omp2b, bcsp31, IS711, and by MLSA verified a close relationship with Brucella suggesting the isolates may actually represent novel members of this growing genus of zoonotic pathogens.
