ABSTRACT

To the Editors:

Brucellosis dates back to when humans began herding goats and several reasons account for its re-emergence today. First is underestimation stemming from the erroneous notion that brucellosis was brought under control in the last century. Second is underestimation of the role that goats and goat products play in the chain of transmission to humans. And finally is the failure to consider biofilm phenotypes in research assessing Brucella spp.–ecosystem interactions. Thus, false results are derived, the illness’s chronicity increases along with the corresponding failures in antibiotic therapies, and measures more apt to control the disease are simply not adopted.
