+; PCR positive, –; PCR megative, NA; not available. a) Infrequent restricted site-PCR, ST27 produces a single amplicon by PCR-I only, while ST23, ST 26, produce two amplicons by PCR-II and -III, or a single amplicon by PCR-IV only, respectively. No amplicon is produced from terrestrial-originated Brucella, such as B. melitensis. b) Multilocus sequence typing scheme targeting 21 genes, c) The ID of bacterial DNA.
