title: Genotyping reveals the presence of a predominant genotype of Coxiella burnetii in consumer milk products.
abstract: Real-time PCR shows the widespread presence of Coxiella burnetii DNA in a broad range of commercially available milk and milk products. MLVA genotyping shows that this is the result of the presence of a predominant C. burnetii genotype in the dairy cattle population.
