Genotyping of Brucella isolates from animals and humans by Multiple-Locus Variable-number Tandem Repeat Analysis (MLVA). isolated from samples taken from animals and humans were first identified as B. abortus and B. melitensis by real-time PCR, and the MLVA-16 approach was then used for the genotyping of the identified isolates.  The MLVA-16 typing method revealed 30 clonal groups for B. abortus and 37 clonal groups for B. melitensis from which the dominant genotypes and similarities with human isolates in Türkiye were determined.
