摘要: Background Currently, there are very few tools available for subtyping Brucella isolates epidemiological trace-back. Subtyping is difficult because of the genetic homogeneity within genus. Sequencing genomes from three species has facilitated search DNA sequence variability. Recently, hypervariability among short tandem repeat sequences been exploited strain-typing several bacterial pathogens.
