Evaluation of a multiplex PCR assay (Bruce-ladder) for molecular typing of all Brucella species, including the vaccine strains.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An evaluation of a multiplex PCR assay (Bruce-ladder) was performed in seven laboratories using 625 Brucella strains from different animal and geographical origins. This robust test can differentiate in a single step all of the classical Brucella species, including those found in marine mammals and the S19, RB51, and Rev.1 vaccine strains.

Development of a multiplex polymerase chain reaction assay for differentiation of field strain isolates and vaccine strains S19 and RB51 of Brucella in Iran
Bovine brucellosis is a zoonotic disease distributed worldwide and characterized by abortion and reducedfertility in cows. Since brucellosis eradication programme in Iran uses vaccination, test, slaughter andquarantine as control measures, it is essential to distinguish vaccine strains from strains that cause infectionsamong vaccinated cattle herds. We developed and evaluated a multiplex polyme...
متن کاملA Case of Identity Confirmation of Brucella abortus S99 by Phage Typing and PCR Methods
Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection that is associated with fever in humans and abortion in animals. The agent of this disease is a facultative intracellular gram-negative coccobacillus called Brucella. There are six classic species, including B. abortus, B. melitensis, B. suis, B. canis, B. neotomae, and B. ovis. In recent years, four new species have been reported,...

Two new primer sets of a 766- and a 344-bp fragment were introduced into the conventional Bruce-ladder PCR assay. This novel multiplex PCR assay rapidly and concisely discriminates Brucella canis and Brucella microti from Brucella suis strains and also may differentiate all of the 10 Brucella species.

Background: Brucella sp. are the causative agents of brucellosis, an infectious disease that affects various species of animals and can be transmitted to humans through direct contact with infected animals, indirectly by the ingestion of rawmilk products, and during the handling of strains or infected material in the laboratory. Being a zoonosis, the detection of Brucella species in animals is ...

Brucellosis is primarily a worldwide zoonotic disease caused by Brucella species. The genus Brucella contains highly infectious species that are classified as biological threat agents. In this regard, the identification of Brucella can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process posing a real risk of laboratory-acquired infection to the laboratory staff. This stud...
