''Brucella intermedia'' is a
bacterium from the genus of ''
Brucella''. It was first described by Velasco and others in 1998. It causes diseases in humans only rarely, with single case reports of cholangitis following liver transplantation, bacteremia in a patient with bladder cancer, a pelvic abscess after abdominal surgery, dyspepsia, endophalmitis in the presence of a foreign body, pneumonia, and endocarditis.
''B. intermedia'', ''B. anthropi'', and ''Brucella melitensis'' can be distinguished on the basis of a multi-primer
polymerase chain reaction that targets the ''
recA'' gene. A genome of ''B. intermedia'' was sequenced and submitted to
GenBank in 2013.
