Laboratory assay overview
Brucella is transmitted to humans from animals. Detection of agglutinating antibodies at titers of 1:80 or greater indicates Brucella infection. Recent Brucella infection is best demonstrated by a 4-fold increase in agglutinating antibody titer when testing acute and convalescent sera in parallel.
