Abstract
The differentiation of vaccine from non-vaccine isolates is important for disease control. Based on single nucleotide polymorphisms identified by comparison of the genomes of the Koganei 65-0.15 vaccine strain and a reference strain of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, we developed a PCR assay that can differentiate the vaccine strain from field isolates.
