MLVA Analysis (table 3) showed three alleles at locus 1067, two at loci 1658 and 3527 and<br />

<strong>on</strong>e at loci 1605 and 3249. The combinati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>se alleles gave five different clusters with a<br />

DI <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 0.667. According to Overduin et al. 7 , <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> most frequent pattern was 22222. One <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

isolates from milk, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> strain 7, showed an unusual pattern, 22212. This pattern has never<br />

been described before, although <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> allele 1 at locus 3527 has been previously found in<br />

bovine strains.<br />

MLSSR technique showed <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> highest DI value (0.978) resulting in nine clusters. We found<br />

<strong>on</strong>ly <strong>on</strong>e m<strong>on</strong>omorphic locus (SSR 4), while o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r loci showed allelic frequency ranging from<br />

0.18 to 0.72, with 2.3 as mean value.<br />

Combinati<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> methods gave different results: both MIRU+MLVA and VNTR-<br />

MIRU+MLVA gave 5 clusters (DI 0.806), MLSSR+MIRU or MLSSR+VNTR-MIRU did not<br />

increase <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> DI <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> MLSSR al<strong>on</strong>e (9 clusters), while MLSSR+MLVA gave <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> maximum<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>oretic DI value (10 clusters).<br />

CONCLUSIONS<br />

Although <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> limited number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> strains used, our data suggest that <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> combinati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> simple<br />

PCR based methods such as MIRU, VNTR-MIRU and MLVA enhanced <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> discriminatory<br />
