Abstract excerpt
During characterization by conventional biotyping tests of numerous Brucella melitensis isolates obtained in Israel in the last 2 years, we identified several strains of the biovar 1 serotype that are atypically susceptible to dyes and penicillin. Their coisolation from two brothers in a family that rears sheep and from the milk of one of their sheep and the prevalence of such strains in two distinct geographical...
