title: Novel IS711-specific chromosomal locations useful for identification and classification of marine mammal Brucella strains.
abstract: We report five new IS711 chromosomal locations that are specific for marine mammal Brucella groups of strains and useful for their identification and classification. Our data support their current classification into two species, Brucella ceti and B. pinnipedialis, with subgroups in each, but also the possibility of additional species.
