RESUMO

A real-time, genus-specific 5′ nuclease PCR assay for amplification of a 322-bp fragment of the per gene was developed for rapid (<2 h) identification of 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.
