Sixty-three Brucella isolates from water buffaloes and cattle slaughtered within the Italian national plan for brucellosis control were characterized by multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA). Genotyping indicated a strong influence of geographic origin on the Brucella abortus biovar distribution in areas where brucellosis is endemic and highlighted the importance of rigorous management procedures aimed at avoiding inter- and intraherd spreading of pathogens.
63 株来自意大利国家布鲁氏菌病控制计划中屠宰的水牛和牛的布鲁氏菌分离株通过多位点可变数串联重复分析(MLVA)进行了特征描述。基因分型表明地理起源对布鲁氏菌流产生物型在布鲁氏菌病流行地区的分布有很大影响,并强调了严格管理程序的重要性,旨在避免病原体在畜群内外传播。
