Brucella-specific nucleotide sequences encoding the BCSP 31 kDa protein, Omp2 and the 16S rRNA were employed in three independent diagnostic PCR assays. Results of the three PCR assays on six reference strains of Brucella were in complete agreement. The results of PCR assays based on bcsp and omp2 on 19 Indian field isolates (human, bovine and murine tissues) also agreed completely. However, when the 16S rRNA gene was employed as the diagnostic target in the PCR, only 14 out of these 19… Expand
