Article Synopsis
- Swine brucellosis is caused by three Brucella suis biovars (1, 2, and 3), and current identification methods are often unreliable and labor-intensive.
- Researchers developed a multiplex PCR assay using a specific gene (omp2b) to categorize these biovars more effectively, revealing distinct amplification patterns for each biovar.
- The study found some field isolates labeled as biovars 2 or 3 still displayed patterns associated with biovar 1, indicating limitations in the new method's accuracy for typing B. suis.
