Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Veterinarians are at increased risk of acquiring zoonotic infections due to their close contact with animals. Brucella spp. can be transmitted from infected animals through direct contact or consumption of unpasteurized dairy products. Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, can be transmitted through handling sick or dead animals. Streptobacillus moniliformis is associated with rat bite fever, which can be contracted through bites or scratches from infected rodents. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Eikenella corrodens are primarily associated with human oral flora and are less relevant to zoonotic transmission risks for veterinarians.
