Abstract
Human cases of brucellosis in the United States are primarily limited to imported infections or reservoirs. We describe a brucellosis outbreak involving 8 patients treated at a single hospital in the United States. Standardized precautionary microbiology processes and coordinated collaboration among hospital departments and local health departments assisted in optimally managing this disease at our institution.Entities:
