| When brucellosis is suspected, clinicians or forwarding laboratories should note on the laboratory submission: "Suspect or rule out brucellosis." |
| Review laboratory containment methods and microbiologic procedures to ensure compliance with recommendations in the Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories, Fifth Edition. |
| Use primary barriers (ie, safety centrifuge cups, personal protective equipment, and class II or higher biological safety cabinets [BSCs]) for procedures with a high likelihood of producing droplet splashes or aerosols. |
| Use secondary barriers: Restrict access to the laboratory when work is being performed and maintain the integrity of the laboratory air-handling system by keeping external doors and windows closed. |
| Avoid causing splashes or aerosols when performing procedures on unidentified isolates. |
| Prohibit sniffing of open culture plates to assist in the identification of isolates. |
| Manipulate isolates of small gram-negative or gram-variable rods initially inside a BSC. |
