Abstract
ABSTRACT
The identification of
Brucella
can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that places personnel at risk for laboratory-acquired infection. Here, we describe a real-time PCR assay for confirmation of presumptive
Brucella
isolates. The assay was designed in a multiplex format that will allow the rapid identification of
Brucella
spp.,
B. abortus
, and
B. melitensis
in a single test.
