Validated 5′ Nuclease PCR Assay for Rapid Identification of the Genus Brucella

Abstract
A real-time, genus-specific 5′ nuclease PCR assay for amplification of a 322-bp fragment of the per gene was developed for rapid (Brucella spp. from agar plates. The assay, including an internal amplification control (116 bp), identified Brucella strains (n = 23) and did not detect non-Brucella strains (n = 174), indicating its usefulness, particularly for laboratories with stringent quality assurance programs.
