Several distinct genetic lineages or genomic groups have been shown to exist, with evidence for different virulence potential of these lineages. Multispacer Sequence Typing (MST) and Multiple-Locus Variable number tandem repeat Analysis (MLVA) are being used to genotype strains. However, it is unclear how these typing schemes correlate with each other or with the classification into different genomic groups. Here, we created extensive databases for published MLVA and MST genotypes of C. burnetii and analysed the associated metadata, revealing associations between animal host and human disease type. We established a new classification scheme that assigns both MST and MLVA genotypes to a genomic group and which revealed additional sub-lineages in two genomic groups. Finally, we report a novel, rapid genomotyping method for assigning an isolate into a genomic group based on the Cox51 spacer sequence. We conclude that by pooling and streamlining existing datasets, associations between genotype and clinical outcome or host source were identified, which in combination with our novel genomotyping method, should enable an estimation of the disease potential of new C. burnetii isolates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens10050604","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,17]],"date-time":"2021-05-17T02:31:34Z","timestamp":1621218694000},"page":"604","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Correlating Genotyping Data of Coxiella burnetii with Genomic Groups"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5116-4011","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudia M.","family":"Hemsley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biosciences, College of Life and Environmental Sciences\u2014Biosciences, University of Exeter, Exeter EX4 4QD, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angela","family":"Essex-Lopresti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Defence Science and Technology Laboratories, CBR Division, Porton Down, Salisbury SP4 0JQ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isobel H.","family":"Norville","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Defence Science and Technology Laboratories, CBR Division, Porton Down, Salisbury SP4 0JQ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0162-2077","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard W.","family":"Titball","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biosciences, College of Life and Environmental Sciences\u2014Biosciences, University of Exeter, Exeter EX4 4QD, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S2","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinf.2015.04.024","article-title":"Recent advances in the study of Q fever epidemiology, diagnosis and management","volume":"71","author":"Million","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
