Brucellosis is caused by bacteria from the genus Brucella. These bacteria are typically found in animals, such as cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, and camels, and can be transmitted to humans through contact with infected animals or their products, such as unpasteurized milk or cheese. In some cases, humans can also become infected through contact with an infected person or through inhalation of aerosolized bacteria.

The main treatment for brucellosis is antibiotics. The most commonly used antibiotics are doxycycline, rifampin, and streptomycin. Other antibiotics that may be used include gentamicin, ciprofloxacin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. In some cases, a combination of antibiotics may be used. In addition to antibiotics, supportive care such as rest, fluids, and pain relievers may be recommended.
