Brucellosis is one of the most common laboratory-acquired infections, mostly because aerosolization is a mechanism of transmission in this setting. We report an exposure to Brucella melitensis that occurred in a large microbiology laboratory and describe the strategy chosen for antibiotic prophylaxis and serological follow-up of exposed workers.
布鲁氏菌病是最常见的实验室获得性感染之一,主要是因为在这种情况下气溶胶化是一种传播机制。我们报告了在一家大型微生物实验室发生的一次羊种布鲁氏菌暴露事件,并描述了为暴露工人选择的抗生素预防和血清学随访策略。
