Abstract excerpt
A PCR assay was developed to genotypically characterize Francisella tularensis and F. novicida. An integrated and partially redundant set of markers was selected to provide positive identification of these species, identify subspecies of F. tularensis and genotype 14 variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) markers. Assay performance was evaluated with 117 Francisella samples. Sample DNA was amplified, and the masses...
