AB  - This  chapter  focuses  on  a  group  of  unrelated  bacterial  diseases  that  are  rarely  encountered  in  a  conventional  urban  or  suburban  setting  but  are  acquired  after  a  distinctive  environmental  exposure,  such  as  saltwater  immersion,  animal  bites,  handling  of  an  infected  animal  carcass,  or  travel  to  specific  areas  around  the  world.  Several  of  these  diseases  present  primarily  as  cutaneous  disorders  with  rare  systemic  involvement  (e.g.,  erysipeloid);  others  present  primarily  as  systemic  disorders  with  rare  cutaneous  involvement  (e.g.,  brucellosis).  Several  of  the  pathogens  can  be  aerosolized  and  disseminated  for  respiratory  transmission,  naturally  or  with  human  intervention.  The  ease  of  dissemination  and  the  potential  virulence  of  several  organisms  make  them  suitable  for  intentional  spread  as  biologic  weapons.  The  intentional  spread  of  these  diseases  is  discussed  in  greater  detail  in  Chapter  213.
