Brucellosis -- United States
[Re: ProMED-mail Brucellosis - USA (12): (WY) possible elk exposure, RFI Archive Number: http://bit.ly/2fJvlWn]
The culture isolate was confirmed to be _Brucella abortus_. Genomic identification was recently conducted at the National Veterinary Services Laboratory in an attempt to link it to the most similar isolate in their database. It is believed this was from a WY exposure, not exotic (India).
