Abstract
We report the first case of brucellosis caused by an isolate whose genome is identical that of a frog isolate from Texas, demonstrating the zoonotic potential of amphibian-type Brucella. Importantly, with such atypical Brucella , correct diagnosis cannot be performed using routine serological tests or identification methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
