Identification of Brucella Species and Biotypes using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP)
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
Brucellosis is a worldwide zoonosis causing reproductive failures in livestock and a severe multi-organ disease in humans. The genus Brucella is divided into seven species and various biotypes differing in pathogenicity and host specificity. Although Brucella spp. represent a highly homogenous group of bacteria, RFLPs of selected genes display sufficient polymorphism to distinguish Brucella species and biovars....
