My laboratory is currently investigating methods of typing using
pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. We had an increase of Brucella cases in
our state earlier this year, and we would like to compare the patterns
with other isolates, as well as create a library of sorts. We would very
much appreciate it if anyone could send us isolates of Brucella that they
have confirmed. They can be sent to (or I can be contacted at):
