Brucella

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

A genus of encapsulated, non-motile bacteria (family Brucellaceae) containing short, rod-shaped to coccoid, Gram-negative cells. These organisms are parasitic, invading all animal tissues and causing infection of the genital organs, the mammary gland, and the respiratory and intestinal tracts, and are pathogenic for man and various species of domestic animals. They do not produce gas from carbohydrates. If used as a biological warfare agent, it would move likely be delivered by the aerosol route; the resulting infection would be expected to mimic natural disease.
