Several species of Brucella are known to be zoonotic, but B. neotomae infection has been thought to be limited to wood rats. In 2008 and 2011, however, B. neotomae was isolated from cerebrospinal fluid of 2 men with neurobrucellosis. The nonzoonotic status of B. neotomae should be reassessed.
已知几种布鲁氏菌属的细菌具有人畜共患性,但人们一直认为新墨西哥州布鲁氏菌感染仅限于林鼠。然而,在2008年和2011年,从两名患有神经布鲁氏菌病的男性的脑脊液中分离出了新墨西哥州布鲁氏菌。新墨西哥州布鲁氏菌的非人畜共患状态应重新评估。
