Brucellosis, one of the ancient zoonoses, is still among the most widespread in the world today. This persistence is due in part to the misunderstanding behavior at a certain point in time, when the disease was considered to have been eradicated. Its current underestimation may be due to research biases that distort its real impact since almost all research over 133 years has focused on the B. melitensis planktonic phenotype and not in its behavior as biofilm; and because its prevention and control measures respond to these results. The purpose of this review was to provide elements, which were not previously published, for a closer understanding of the disease known as brucellosis.

Palabras clave : planktonic bacteria; biofilm bacteria; Brucella melitensis; brucellosis; zoonosis.
