Bacterial isolates from frogs were phenotypically identified as Ochrobactrum anthropi, but 16S rRNA sequencing showed up to 100% identity with Brucella inopinata. Further analysis of recA, omp2a, omp2b, bcsp31, and IS711 and multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) verified a close relationship with Brucella, suggesting the isolates may actually represent novel members of this growing genus of zoonotic pathogens.
从青蛙中分离出的细菌经表型鉴定为奥克霍布鲁克氏菌,但 16S rRNA 测序显示与不常见布鲁氏菌的相似度高达 100%。对 recA、omp2a、omp2b、bcsp31 和 IS711 以及多位点序列分析(MLSA)的进一步分析证实了与布鲁氏菌的密切关系,这表明这些分离株可能实际上代表了这个不断增长的人畜共患病病原体属的新成员。
