She typed the isolates to species and biovar based on the classical phenotypic characteristics, and she edited the manuscript.
When the mutation affected a multiple of 8-bp, the amplicon still matched one of the hypothetical allele sizes (VNTR Locus-1 of B. suis biovar 1, Fig.
The repeat regions and approximately 200-bp of upstream and downstream flanking sequence were individually compared to the Brucella melitensis biovar 1 and Brucella suis biovar 1 published genome sequences.
As mentioned above, VNTR Locus-4 of the B. suis biovar 1 sequenced genome was 11-bp larger than the homologous regions of B. abortus biovar 1 and B. melitensis biovar 1. When the sizes of the VNTR Locus-4 fragments amplified from the panel of Brucella strains were compared to the size range of the normal and the alternative alleles, we observed that the products amplified from B. canis , B. neotomae , B. ovis , and B. suis biovars 2, 4 and 5, were consistent with the 11-bp offset allelic ladder of B. suis biovar 1 rather than the allelic ladder exhibited by the B. melitensis or B. abortus biovars (Fig.
Published methods include enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequence-PCR (ERIC-PCR), and repetitive intergenic palindromic sequence-PCR (REP-PCR) [ 2 3 ] ; random amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR (RAPD-PCR) or arbitrary primed-PCR (AP-PCR) [ 4 5 ] ; and restriction fragment length polymorphism-PCR (RFLP-PCR) of the omp 2 locus [ 6 7 ] . ERIC-PCR and RAPD-PCR are both affected by assay conditions and environmental effects during the amplification process [ 8 9 10 ] . Although the results are highly reproducible within a laboratory, laboratory-to-laboratory reproducibility has been problematic and thus makes the universal application of these methods unlikely (compare [ 2 ] and [ 3 ] ). RFLP-PCR of the omp 2 locus is not constrained by issues of reproducibility and has been useful for the differentiation of Brucella species [ 6 ] and for differentiation among isolates from marine mammal hosts [ 7 ] . However, as a tool for the epidemiology of brucellosis in livestock, this technique is limited by the low rate of natural sequence divergence within the locus at the biovar level.
