US CDC reported that human brucellosis outbreaks have been confirmed to be caused by exposure to the liveattenuated vaccine strain Brucella abortus RB51 following the consumption of raw milk [12,13]
In rural areas, the emerging interest in natural foods and products has led to the increased preference for raw milk due to its acclaimed health benefits that are believed to be destroyed upon pasteurization
