Bruce (Sir David Bruce)

Sir David Bruce was a British microbiologist renowned for discovering the bacteria *Brucella*, which causes brucellosis—a disease transmitted from animals to humans, often leading to fever and fatigue. His work significantly advanced understanding of infectious diseases and helped develop methods for diagnosis and control, improving both human and animal health. Bruce’s research emphasized the importance of studying microorganisms to prevent and treat illnesses, and his contributions remain foundational in microbiology and epidemiology.
