Evaluation of the genetic profiles of Brucella melitensis strain from Turkey using multilocus variable number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) techniques.

Abstract excerpt

Brucellosis is caused by Brucella, and Brucella melitensis is highly prevalent in small ruminants in Turkey. Our aim was to genotype 50 B. melitensis strains isolated from sheep, goat, and cattle abortion samples from different farms in seven geographical regions of Turkey between 2009 and 2017. Forty-six different genotypes were detected in 50 isolates studied according to the MLVA-16. Thirty out of 50 isolate...
