Article Synopsis
- Brucellosis remains an important zoonotic disease in Greece, impacting both public health and finances, despite a decline in cases.
- A study from 2001-2022 identified and analyzed 334 clinical strains, primarily from blood cultures, revealing that 94.3% were a specific species linked to virulence.
- Eight virulence-associated genes were largely present in these strains, indicating a consistent threat from brucellosis, although a few isolates lacked one specific gene.
