Objective: To know some genetical characterizations of Coxiella betii Chinese isolates by comparing the com1 gene sequence. Methods: com1 gene sequences of Chinese isolates were amplified, sequenced, and analyzed by comparing our result and the previous published data. Results: Three different com1 sequences were identified in 7 Chinese isolates. Sequence comparison indicated that the isolates harboring the QpRS plasmid could be defined as a new group and, in addition, the isolates carrying the same plasmid type showed similar com1 gene sequence. Conclusion: Study suggests that the classification of the group based on the com1 gene sequence is highly associated with the plasmid type of the isolates and, however, little related to disease forms and geographical origins of the isolates.
