“…Other intracellular bacteria such as in typhoid fever have an incidence of preterm delivery of approximately 19%. We found a 8.1% rate of fetal demise, which was previously associated with brucellosis 7,17,24 , with ranges between 2-12% 8,9,12 . One case of congenital malformation was identified, which can be associated not only to brucellosis, but also to the medical treatment or any other unidentified risk factors.…”

Three virulent species of Brucella are currently listed as biological select agent and toxins (BSAT) in the United States. During recent biannual reviews of listed agents and toxins, these virulent species of Brucella have been recommended for removal although they currently remain listed as BSAT. Discussions during review indicated differences of opinion in regards to clinical, biological and epidemiological properties of Brucella. Material presented in this paper is an attempt to provide published scientific data relevant to possession, use, and/or transfer of Brucella spp. and pertinent to discussions of the agent as a BSAT. It is intended that this review will promote informed discussion, be beneficial to personnel interested in biological properties of Brucella, and encourage further research and publication of relevant data.

“…Consequently, brucellosis causes fewer spontaneous abortions in humans than in animals [132,140]. The presence of anti-Brucella activity in the amniotic fluid and the absence of erythritol in human placenta are believed to protect against abortion.…”

“…The presence of anti-Brucella activity in the amniotic fluid and the absence of erythritol in human placenta are believed to protect against abortion. Nevertheless, positive Brucella cultures have been obtained from the products of conception such as the human placenta and the aborted fetuses [137,140]. In pregnant females having brucellosis and living in areas that are endemic for the disease, the incidence of spontaneous abortion ranges between 24% and 53% while positive Brucella serology may be encountered in less than 3% of pregnant women [38, 130,134].…”
