Brucella melitensis, a gram-negative coccobacillus, is the causative agent of the zoonotic disease brucellosis. Brucellosis can present with a variety of signs and symptoms hence the diagnosis becomes difficult. To ensure that the patient receives the appropriate treatment, laboratory testing is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. The advent of automated systems has made the identification of brucellosis easier. This facilitates the early initiation of appropriate antibiotics, thereby improving clinical outcome.
