Abstract:The aim of the present study is to explore the pathogenic diagnosis of brucellosis in Tibet by investigating the biological characteristics of pathogenic bacteria isolated from the blood culture of a patient. Bacteriological experiments were conducted according to the standard identification methods of Brucella including morphology, cultural characters, biochemistry characters and serological test. At the same time, systematic analysis on the information about epidemiology, clinical manifestation and laboratory data of the patient was carried on. The first Brucella melitensis was isolated from blood of patient, indicating that the clinical institution has the ability to pathogenic diagnosis and to strengthen laboratory biosafety.
