Article Synopsis
- The study utilized Multiple Locus Variable Number Tandem Repeat Analysis (MLVA-16) on 18 Brucella isolates, specifically Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis, to understand genetic variations in Egyptian strains from 2002 to 2013.
- Results showed B. melitensis exhibited greater genetic diversity with 11 genotypes and numerous singletons, while B. abortus had 3 genotypes, and the predominant genotype for both species was identified.
- The findings suggest that geographic location alone does not explain the genetic similarities, and the authors recommend implementing pre-movement testing to minimize brucellosis transmission risks.
