Ta. Ficht et al., SPECIES-SPECIFIC SEQUENCES AT THE OMP2 LOCUS OF BRUCELLA TYPE STRAINS, International journal of systematic bacteriology, 46(1), 1996, pp. 329-331
A DNA sequence analysis of the omp2 locus of Brucella type strains rev
ealed nucleotide differences that can be used for species identificati
on. We developed specific probes which were used to verify the observe
d differences among the type strains following PCR amplification of po
rtions of the omp2 locus.
