C. burnetii was detected by real-time PCR, and followed by MST and MLVA genotyping. The result showed that detected C. burnetii all had the same MLVA genotype, 6-13-2-7-9-10 for markers MS23-MS24-MS27-MS28-MS33-MS34, respectively, and genotype group 61 for MST. The same genotypes were previously identified in Poland. Importantly, this MLVA type was detected in humans in France, suggesting that the Korean strain can also potentially cause Q fever in humans. MST and MLVA were very useful tools for analyzing the molecular epidemiology of C. burnetii and helpful for interpreting the epidemiological relationship between isolates from domestic and international resources.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/genes13111927","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,24]],"date-time":"2022-10-24T02:31:03Z","timestamp":1666578663000},"page":"1927","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Genotyping of Coxiella burnetii from Cattle by Multispacer Sequence Typing and Multiple Locus Variable Number of Tandem Repeat Analysis in the Republic of Korea"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6621-7101","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A-Tai","family":"Truong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Parasitic and Honeybee Disease Laboratory, Bacterial Disease Division, Department of Animal & Plant Health Research, Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency, 177 Hyeoksin 8-ro, Gimcheon-si 39660, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea"},{"name":"Faculty of Biotechnology, Thai Nguyen University of Sciences, Thai Nguyen 250000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"So Youn","family":"Youn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Parasitic and Honeybee Disease Laboratory, Bacterial Disease Division, Department of Animal & Plant Health Research, Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency, 177 Hyeoksin 8-ro, Gimcheon-si 39660, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mi-Sun","family":"Yoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Parasitic and Honeybee Disease Laboratory, Bacterial Disease Division, Department of Animal & Plant Health Research, Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency, 177 Hyeoksin 8-ro, Gimcheon-si 39660, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ji-Yeon","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Parasitic and Honeybee Disease Laboratory, Bacterial Disease Division, Department of Animal & Plant Health Research, Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency, 177 Hyeoksin 8-ro, Gimcheon-si 39660, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soon-Seek","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Parasitic and Honeybee Disease Laboratory, Bacterial Disease Division, Department of Animal & Plant Health Research, Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency, 177 Hyeoksin 8-ro, Gimcheon-si 39660, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1346-7067","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yun Sang","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Parasitic and Honeybee Disease Laboratory, Bacterial Disease Division, Department of Animal & Plant Health Research, Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency, 177 Hyeoksin 8-ro, Gimcheon-si 39660, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1099\/mic.0.000707","article-title":"Coxiella burnetii: A Pathogenic Intracellular Acidophile","volume":"165","author":"Shaw","year":"2019","journal-title":"Microbiology"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Colville, J., and Berryhill, D.L.
