Molecular Methods :

❖PCR assay using primers for 16S- 23S rRna operon (rrs-rrl
gene), Omp2 gene (outer –membrane protein), insertion
sequence IS711, and protein BCSP31 are available
❑It is rapid , sensitive and specific and can also
differentiate between the species and biovars
❑Blood and tissues are ideal samples for PCR assays.

❖FilmArray BioThreat panel is an automated multiplex


PCR, useful for simultaneous detection 17 human
pathogens causing bioterrorism including Brucella.
