Aim: Comparison of diagnostic capabilities of 2 variants of PCR for detection of Coxiella burneli persistence in dynamics of infectious process in patients with Q fever.
Materials And Methods: 110 samples of clinical material, obtained from patients with Q fever in an endemic region for this infection (Astrakhan region), were studied. The samples were studied in a standard PCR (marker - 16S rRNA gene fragment) and in real-time.
We analyzed restriction fragment length polymorphism of lipL32 gene encoding outer membrane protein in three Leptospira genomic species (L. interrogans, L. kirschneri, and L.
