Brucella Agglutination

3,000.00

The Brucella Agglutination Test is a blood test used to detect antibodies against Brucella bacteria, which cause brucellosis — a bacterial infection transmitted from animals to humans. The test identifies the presence of antibodies that cause the bacteria to clump (agglutinate) in the blood, indicating exposure or infection.
It is a serological test performed on a blood sample and helps confirm diagnosis of brucellosis
