Brucella strains have been isolated since the 1990s from a wide variety of marine mammals and represent potential zoonotic pathogens. They have distinctive phenotypic and molecular characteristics from the terrestrial mammal Brucella species, and two new species names have been previously proposed based on DNA polymorphism at the omp2 locus and their preferential host, i.e. Brucella cetaceae for cetacean isolates and Brucella pinnipediae for pinniped isolates. The results presented in this study on characterization of these strains by infrequent restriction site-PCR (IRS-PCR), taking into account the higher number of IS711 elements in their genome compared to terrestrial mammal Brucella species, supports this classification. The nucleotide sequences of specific DNA fragments detected by IRS-PCR were determined and used to develop PCR identification tests for either B. cetaceae or B. pinnipediae.
