Brucella organisms which differed from the recognised species of the genus, were isolated from nine seals, eight cetaceans and one otter. A method is described for the isolation of Brucella species from sea mammals and the first isolations of Brucella species are recorded from an Atlantic white-sided dolphin (Lagenorhynchus acutus), two striped dolphins (Stenella coeuleoalba), a hooded seal (Cystophora cristata), a grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) and a European otter (Lutra lutra). There were differences in the culture media required for the primary isolation of the organisms and in their dependency on carbon dioxide, Subcutaneous lesions, when present, always yielded a confluent growth. The organisms were isolated from seven of 14 spleen samples and also from the mammary glands, uterus, testes and blood and the mandibular, gastric, iliac, sub-lumbar and colorectal lymph nodes.
从9只海豹、8只鲸类动物和1只水獭身上分离出了与该属已知物种不同的布鲁氏菌。本文描述了一种从海洋哺乳动物中分离布鲁氏菌的方法，并记录了首次从一只大西洋白侧海豚（白腰斑纹海豚）、两只条纹海豚、一只冠海豹、一只灰海豹和一只欧洲水獭身上分离出布鲁氏菌。这些微生物初次分离所需的培养基以及对二氧化碳的依赖性存在差异。出现皮下病变时，总能形成融合生长。从14份脾脏样本中的7份以及乳腺、子宫、睾丸、血液以及下颌、胃、髂、腰下和结肠直肠淋巴结中分离出了这些微生物。
