With the aim of knowing more exactly what species and biotypes are responsible for brucellosis in France, 2,058 strains have been examined since 1972. Of these, 1,693 were isolated from cattle, 190 from sheep, 10 from hare, 9 from goats, 3 from swine and 3 from field mice (Apodemus sylvaticus); 150 were of cases of human infection. Of the 18 types presently recognized for the genus Brucella, 11 were identified within the sample. In animal strains, they were B. abortus biotypes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 9, B. suis biotypes 1 and 2, B. melitensis biotypes 1, 2 and 3, and B. ovis. All these types--except B. suis 2 and B. ovis--were identified within the human strains. Of these 11 types, 3 were widely predominant both in man and animals: B. abortus biotypes 1 and 3 and B. melitensis biotype 3, which together total 84.2% of the sample's strains. The results also emphasized the preference of B. abortus, B. melitensis and B. ovis for a decided animal host: 99.4% of the bovine strains were B. abortus, 98.1% of those isolated from ewes and goats were B. melitensis, and all the B ovis strains were from cases of ram epididymitis. Of the 150 human strains, 115 were B. melitensis, 33 B. abortus and 2 B. suis. These data were discussed from a taxonomical and epidemiological point of view.
为了更确切地了解在法国引起布鲁氏菌病的物种和生物型，自1972年以来已检测了2058株菌株。其中，1693株从牛中分离得到，190株从绵羊中分离得到，10株从野兔中分离得到，9株从山羊中分离得到，3株从猪中分离得到，3株从田鼠（森林姬鼠）中分离得到；150株来自人类感染病例。在目前认可的布鲁氏菌属的18种类型中，样本中鉴定出了11种。在动物菌株中，它们是流产布鲁氏菌生物型1、2、3、4和9，猪布鲁氏菌生物型1和2，羊布鲁氏菌生物型1、2和3，以及绵羊布鲁氏菌。除猪布鲁氏菌2型和绵羊布鲁氏菌外，所有这些类型都在人类菌株中鉴定出来。在这11种类型中，有3种在人和动物中都广泛占主导地位：流产布鲁氏菌生物型1和3以及羊布鲁氏菌生物型3，它们总共占样本菌株的84.2%。结果还强调了流产布鲁氏菌、羊布鲁氏菌和绵羊布鲁氏菌对特定动物宿主的偏好：99.4%的牛菌株是流产布鲁氏菌，从母羊和山羊中分离出的菌株中有98.1%是羊布鲁氏菌，所有绵羊布鲁氏菌菌株都来自公羊附睾炎病例。在150株人类菌株中，115株是羊布鲁氏菌，33株是流产布鲁氏菌，2株是猪布鲁氏菌。从分类学和流行病学角度对这些数据进行了讨论。
