Brucella suis is a bacterium that causes swine brucellosis, a zoonosis that affects pigs. The disease typically causes chronic inflammatory lesions in the reproductive organs of susceptible animals or orchitis, and may even affect joints and other organs.[1] The most common symptom is abortion in pregnant susceptible sows at any stage of gestation.[2] Other manifestations are temporary or permanent sterility, lameness, posterior paralysis, spondylitis, and abscess formation. It is transmitted mainly by ingestion of infected tissues or fluids, semen during breeding, and suckling infected animals.[3]
Since brucellosis threatens the food supply and causes undulant fever,[4]Brucella suis and other Brucella species (B. melitensis, B. abortus, B. ovis, B. canis) are recognized as potential agricultural, civilian, and military bioterrorism agents.[5]
